Key :: Value Access Language (KVAL) for BoltDB and Golang
With some forced downtime as the effects of the Kaikōura earthquake are felt here on the North Island, with the shutdown of Archives New Zealand, what better way to spend it than creating a new grammar and parser for key-value databases?

Where the work goes, we will have to see. Open sourcing it was an important goal of the short sprint. Partly because I hope it demonstrates an architecture that can be adopted for a similar registry, and it may also provide a code-base that can be adapted for similar, linked open data projects. This blog provides an overview of that architecture…

Data as Art – Data as Culture
Having just typed the original title of this blog post ‘Data as Art’ I realize it is probably the millionth blog to share it. A minor modification should help to identify it among the countless others…
This week, as the newly founded Open Data Institute (ODI) embraces data-as-culture I am reminded about a visualization I attempted a short while back – visualizing prime numbers.
