On Graph Data Model Design – Relationships
Context: Jim mentioned in his QCon talk that I am advocating for hypergraphs as the model of choice when designing a graph store. That’s not true. The previous post has the details. Jim and I have been discussing graph store/database design for a long time now. As it is always the case, we argue 🙂…

QCon London 2013 – “A Platform for All That We Know”
A couple of weeks ago I attended QCon London 2013* where I had the pleasure of giving a version of my “A Platform for All That We Know” talk. I had to keep the talk on the abstract side since Qi Lu, our president, hadn’t yet talked about the “Bing Information Platform”. My very good…

Let’s teach kids how to code
What a great initiative from the leaders of our field: “code.org is a non-profit foundation dedicated to growing computer programming education.” Programming “is the closest thing we have to a superpower” 🙂 (Drew Houston, Founder and CEO of Dropbox) I love to code. It’s my hobby, my way of expressing myself, my art, my profession.…

The world’s knowledge as a collection of information streams
Representing all knowledge as a set of continuous streams has been in my mind for few years now. In some of my public talks, I illustrated how information graphs and information streams might merge, how each single entity and each relationship could be represented as an individual stream, and how information should really be addressable…

Facebook’s Search Graph

I got fascinated by the idea of representing the world’s information as an interconnected network (check out my semantics-related posts and some of my publications). Back when I was in Microsoft Research I built Zentity, a graph store + programming platform, with Lee Dirk’s and…

wocket is ready for beta testing
As I mentioned few weeks ago, I’ve been working on a side project in my free time. After transitioning from the iPad to Surface, I was missing a Pocket client for Windows 8, so I decided to write one. The application is almost ready for beta testing. If you are interested in helping with ironing…

wocket – a side project
As I mentioned in the past, I am an information junkie. I go through the week collecting articles that I read when I get some free time, in between social commitments, exciting work at Microsoft, startup, concerts, etc. One of the services that I use a lot is Pocket (previously known as “Read It Later”).…
