Liquid: RDF meandering in FluidDB

Meandre (NCSA pushed data-intensive computing infrastructure) relies on RDF to describe components, flows, locations and repositories. RDF has become the central piece that makes possible Meandre’s flexibility and reusability. However, one piece still remains largely sketchy and still has no clear optimal solution: How can we facilitate to anybody sharing, publishing and annotating flows, components, locations and repositories? More importantly, how can that be done in the cloud in an open-ended fashion and allow anybody to annotate and comment on each of the afore mentioned pieces?...
