+ Hi!
+ I'm Ruben Taelman, a Web researcher at IDLab,
+ with a focus on decentralization, Linked Data publishing and querying.
+
+ My goal is to make data accessible for everyone by providing
+ intelligent infrastructure and algorithms for data publication and retrieval.
+
+ To support my research, I develop various open source JavaScript libraries such as streaming RDF parsers and the Comunica engine to query Linked Data on the Web.
+ As this website itself contains Linked Data, you can query it live with Comunica.
+
+ Have a look at my publications or projects
+ and contact me if any of those topics interest you.

+ + How I implemented streaming JSON-LD and RDF/XML parsers in JavaScript.
+ +
+ ++Multiple serialization formats are currently being recommended by the W3C to represent RDF. +JSON-LD and RDF/XML are examples of RDF serializations that are respectively based on the JSON and XML formats. +The ability to parse RDF serializations in a streaming way offers many advantages, +such as handling huge documents with only a limited amount of memory, +and processing elements as soon as they are parsed. +In this post, I discuss the motivation behind my streaming parser implementations for JSON-LD and RDF/XML, +their architecture, and I show some live examples. +
