Search and indexing in a distributed world
In a massively deployed linked-data (SOLID) ecosystem of multiple applications, how do you get to know about:
- other people opening their pods
- other projects/groups you would like to join
- other chat channels
- your company registering a POD to share data
- any new application you could be interested to subscribe to ?
The existing internet ecosystems have a few answers:
- the store (appstore/playstore) is the overall answers regarding the application identification
- the indexing engine, iterating over identified POD is one part of the answer to search and identifications of new people joining the ecosystem
- a search engine, pushing new information to the indexing one, using some bots and spiders to track new data sources, as Google is crawling the existing WEB, would be the other side
Should we start building POCs of all of that ?
