A structured collection of common knowledge
Project description
Note: we are discussing whether this package is meaningful. See http://lino-framework.org/tickets/109.html
This package is the heart of “common data”, a sustainable way of maintaining and sharing structured common knowledge. The Python package itself contains just some utilities and defines the commondata namespace. It is the base for packages like
commondata.be : Common knowledge about Belgium
commondata.ee: Common knowledge about Estonia
Maintained in Python
The Python programming language brings together two qualities
a syntax which makes it easy (or at least possible) to be used by non-programmers
a powerful programming language working behind the scenes
Freely available under the GPL
Free software should not depend on non-free material.
Designed to be imported
The library does not provide much querying functionality. Just the basic minimum, used to write test cases. This is a design choice. This data is meant to be imported into existing systems which offer their own querying facilities.
