FluidDB in a Nutshell
http://www.flickr.com/photos/max78/104677840/
FluidDB is a platform for the web of things, each
represented by an openly writable “social” object
Huh..?
Objects are simply tagged with informationhttp://ntoll.org/images/93.jpg
An object
about = “akvo:Project24”
id =“e127475b-eb93-48e1-a24f-dde6825b9ed8”
Objects (in FluidDB) represent things
Every object has a unique ID
The unique “about” tag is optional and used to identify what the object represents
Tag objects with information
An object
about = “akvo:Project24”
description =
“Ceramic filter production”
photo =
geo/longitude = 10.41899
geo/latitude =
5.48101

t =

id =“e127475b-eb93-48e1-a24f-dde6825b9ed8”
Anyone can tag any object
An object

Permissions apply to tags. Users retain control of data.
FluidDB stays writable.
Anyone can tag information to any
object
FluidDB is the database with the heart of a wiki
Nivi http://venturehacks.com/

FluidDB is quite possibly the
database to handle structured, semistructured,
tagged and attributed, social and realtime data. In its native
format.

Where Google explores the digital world as it is, Fluidinfo is more of a distributed intellectual
construction tool. Basically, it's a new kind of database for open, typed data without the overhead of the "ontology" companies, along with a new kind of search engine. It's along the lines of
Metaweb but more flexible, with a very different model of data ownership, and with more focus on regular
people as end users.
