lod-over-ipfs | A toy implementation of a migration of LOD datasets to IPFS

lod-over-ipfs is a Python library. lod-over-ipfs has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. However lod-over-ipfs build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

IPFS (the InterPlanetary File System) is a distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files, using content-based addresses. Linked Data is a set of methods for publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful through semantic queries. Linked Open Data (LOD) is linked data that is open content. Linked Data is currently published and maintained by a variety of organizations (Universties, public bodies, companies, communities, etc.) or even individuals. As Linked Data is aimed at building applications on its top, lack of availability, scalability or even dataset removal make applications unusable or faulty. Migrating Linked Data datasets to IPFS is a solution to provide scalable and permanent access. However, there are many ways of doing that migration still to be proposed and tested. Here we present a simplistic, straightforward approach that works with datasets described using the Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets (VoID). It simply uses VoID descriptions to get updates and moves the dumps of the data together with the VoID descriptions to IPFS with a set of minimal conventions.
