Tablecast in five minutes: an Ignite talk at ICCM 2010. (The slides are available.)
These are the goals of Tablecast:
- Provide a single mechanism for sharing many common kinds of tabular data
- Facilitate gathering of data from many sources
- Enable applications to react quickly and efficiently to changes and updates
- Work well with data that is collected or edited offline or delayed in transit
- Enable the composition of data processing operations done by different organizations
- Be easy to understand and implement
Working Draft 0.2 of the Tablecast protocol is now available. Your feedback is welcome! Please join the discussion on the Tablecast working group mailing list.
