      Haha, this is awesome. @webyrd am I reading this right that Medikanren is transforming the CSVs into racket hashtables then writing them ask Racket source files? That's a heck of a database hackhttps://github.com/webyrd/mediKanren/blob/master/code/db.rkt …

      There's a little more to it. Greg Rosenblatt created a nice, efficient graph database in Racket that is fast when reading data from disk. Works very well in practice! :)

          as you may or may not know, I am working on a distributed social network using linked data in Racket so this is of High Interest to me

          Adding high-level documentation and an architectural description, and recording a code walk-through video, are high on our TODO list. Right now you'll have to poke around the code a bit I'm afraid. I recommend you follow the instructions to download and process the data files

          Once you can get gui-simple.rkt running, it should be easier to make sense of things. I'm happy to help you out, as well.

          Got the GUI running, and started reading through some code. This seems like cool stuff. BTW, maybe relevant-ish, is that I'm working on a library, mostly focused on json-ld right now but it does support some other linked data thingshttps://github.com/cwebber/racket-linkeddata/ …

          I bring it up because I'm looking at a sea of triples here and even seeing example SPARQL queries in the source. I don't know at the moment what the overlap is exactly, but I've thought about "wouldn't it be cool to have a minikanren-backed generic triple/quad store" before

          Other teams on the same NIH/NCATS project are using SPARQL or Cypher. We're using miniKanren for everything. We can handle triples, of course, but also arbitrary-arity relations. :)
