Description

Emergence is (primarily) a data replication/synchronization mechanism for TinySparql databases, based on W3C standards, and oriented to personal data across multiple personal devices.

A technical overview was presented for this project at Guadec 2023 in Riga, mostly as a research concept. This talk will cover the journey in materializing the project, the learnings that can be extrapolated to other user data, and some musings on how a more englobing mechanism ready to use in/across desktop environments could look like.
