The Large Knowledge Collider

January 20, 2011

Semantic Web reports that “LarKC Turns Up The Volume On Web-Scale Reasoning Systems for the Semantic Web.” LarKC (pronounced “lark” and stands for Large Knowledge Collider) has released version 2.0. The program was initially developed as a platform to remove barriers between systems for the Semantic Web. Version 2.0 remakes the program from the ground up and allows for plug-ins with any sort of computer, cluster, or Amazon EC2 cloud.

“Now you have a platform that takes care of auto-distribution and auto-parallelization if your plug-in allows this…With auto-distribution and parallelization capabilities, “you can analyze larger data sets than before…you make use of multiple machines inside the cluster.”

LarKC’s purpose is to use plug-ins that can be reused by other sources without having to create new plug-ins in the process. Once one is implemented, it can be shared with others and run on the same platform, which is LarKC. LarKC’s last phase is to enter the market and find people interested in using/purchasing the program.
