Javascript library implementing the LINCD protocol.

About LINCD

Even today, most projects use their own data structures, thus creating data silos. Projects that want to share data need understand each others APIs to extract the right data, and then convert that data using custom code.

LINCD aims to remove these barriers to collaboration and interoperability by creating a place where projects can collectively define shared data structures and shared code.

About LINCD.js

LINCD.js is a lightweight Javascript library that implements the LINCD protocol.

With the help of modules built with lincd.js you can integrate data from different sources and build visualizations with ease.

Main Library Features

• Convert your data to Linked Data and validated SHACL Shapes with ease
• Access the in-memory graph database with an accessible resource-centric API.
• Observe changes in the graph with the built-in event system
• Abstract away ontologies & RDF specifics in Shape Classes
• Create interface components based on Shape Classes, which abstracts away ontology details from the UI layer
• Compatible with RDFJS task force spec
