Is using (or supporting) a graph database based upon Linked Data standards as a means to i.e. store, integrate, query (using i.e. graphQL) and validate the Speckle data something worth to considering as a feature? There are various initiatives (by companies, universities) in the AEC industry that foster its use.
Thanks for bringing this up! I’m not sure we have any plans for this right now but… on a personal note, I have been wanting to make some time to look into this since I attended a workshop at BILT Valencia from the LDBIM peeps https://ld-bim.web.app/
The ability to query the models does sound like a powerful thing indeed. Not only within a building, but across a studio’s portfolio, such as finding buildings that used XX family/object/whatever in the past.
I think the possibilities are quite interesting indeed but not sure how this would even work
Thank you for the quick reply (and the link)! Is this something you can bring up as something to discuss in your team? Or maybe it’s a idea to discuss the (in)possibilities with the people behind the LDAC2023 - Linked Data in Architecture and Construction (first)?
Would love to hear about about your findings when you have the time to start researching it
