#Trilby

Trilby is an easy way to publish dynamic linked data. Just copy Trilby to your webserver and point your web browser to it. Fill in a short form naming your dataset and uploading your RDF file, and it's done!

##Features

• Free Text Search
• Faceted Browsing
• Path-based Query Language
• Geo-search (find things near other things)
• Linked Data - URIs that start with where you installed Trilby content-negotiate to HTML, RDF/JSON, and Turtle
• VoID Metadata.

##Small

Trilby aims to make it very easy to dynamically publish smaller datasets. Instead of SPARQL or a database server for storing the data, Trilby's backend, Raffles, uses a file-based storage system. This makes Trilby very simple to setup, and lets it query over small amounts of data quickly and efficiently. However it is not an appropriate choice for medium-to-large datasets.

###How Small?

So far I have tried with RDF data files of up to about 30MB, and while queries are still reasonably fast, it does take several minutes to upload the file to Trilby.

##Installation

1. Use Composer to download Trilby. composer create-project kwijibo/trilby your-install-dir
2. Put it where you want on your webserver. (eg, in the web root folder, or a sub directory), and make sure your webserver can read and write to that directory.
3. Point your browser to it.
4. You should be redirected to /_setup where you can upload your RDF data file, give your dataset a name and license, and choose prefixes for your data's vocabularies. You can also pick a password to protect your configuration.
5. Save, and you'll see a link to / where you can now search and browse your data as Linked Data.

##Examples

• Eighteenth century Texts (texts from ECCO TCP)
• Printed Book Auction Catalogues

Install Trilby and add your own project to this list!
