What’s In A Name?

Posted on July 7, 2021November 21, 2022 by Kurt Cagle

I am Kurt Cagle, or, according to my birth certificate, Kurt Alan Cagle. My name is Kurt Cagle.

Now, think about that for a bit. The to be verb is remarkably slippery, and it is slippery in almost every language on the planet that has such a construct.

The Work-From-Home Rebellion, Or Revenge of the Introverts

Posted on May 31, 2021May 31, 2021 by Kurt Cagle

In the next several months, it is very likely that the following scenario will be repeated over and over again. The company that you work for sends out email notices saying that, with the pandemic now in the rearview mirror, workers will be expected to return full time to the office, or face being fired.

Using Tarql to Convert Excel Spreadsheets to RDF

Posted on May 18, 2021May 19, 2021 by Kurt Cagle

Over the years, I’ve worked on a number of semantics projects. While some of them involved pulling data from relational databases, one thing that seemed to emerge was that a significant proportion of the metadata within an organization – the operational data that controls everything from movie production to publications to describing businesses – ultimately ended up residing in spreadsheets, specifically, Excel spreadsheets.

Abandoned Universities

The Coming College Crisis

Posted on May 2, 2021May 11, 2021 by Kurt Cagle

Education, especially college education, is facing an existential crisis. Partially due to demographic factors, and in part due to decisions made by policy-makers at national, local, and academic levels, colleges and universities are struggling to stay afloat. What’s more, there are signs that conditions are likely to get far worse for the academic world for at least the next couple of decades. The question this raises ultimately comes down to “what is it that we as a society want out of our education institutions, and what is likely going to need to change for them to survive moving forward?” I hope to be able to provide at least some answers to these question in this issue of The Cagle Report.

Six Secret SPARQL Ninja Tricks

Posted on April 30, 2021May 4, 2021 by Kurt Cagle

SPARQL is a powerful language for working with RDF triples. However, SPARQL can also be difficult to work with, so much so that it often is not utilized anywhere near as often for its advanced capabilities, which include aggregating content, building URIs, and similar uses. This is the second piece in my exploration of OntoText’s GraphDB database, but many of these techniques can be applied with other triple stores as well.

Seeking Out the Future of Search

Posted on April 3, 2021November 18, 2022 by Kurt Cagle

Way back in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee, then a young English software developer working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, came up with an intriguing way of combining a communication protocol for retrieving content (HTTP) with a descriptive language for embedding such links into documents (HTML). Shortly thereafter, as more and more people began to create content on these new HTTP servers, it became necessary to be able to provide some kind of mechanism to find this content.
