Hello, world!

I've just started a blog and a wiki. Wiki is rather formal and serves as documentation as well, while blog is going to be more informal and less technical. I plan to share my ideas, thoughts, future plans and current progress here, maybe some feature sneak peeks or backstage info.

Feel free to join the project on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ and stay tuned.

I wrote a blog post here and there all the time, even knowing my readership usually consists just of me and some web crawlers :) But it helps me sort thoughts, remind stuff and such. And even those posts may sound like product promotion, I write them mostly to try to inspire others and share my accomplishments.

Umm, and what the hell em I talking about? Well, QetriX is a result of my long-term desire to create ultimate yet simple semantic data platform. After couple of years (and some dead ends) I created final design of Particle, as an elementary data unit and a base of the platform.

Every particle has certain properties, which allows us to classify them into entities, their attributes and relations between them. In fact, it's a different approach to RDF, utilizing ER model (I created my own paradigm, but it was hard to describe/get the idea to others, so I moved towards better known stuff).

I started QetriX Particle Database even although there are quite a few online structured knowledge bases, such as Freebase (incl. derived projects, like Wikidi), Yago, DBpedia, Wikipedia (esp. Wikidata) or even Wolfram|Alpha, but none of them allows or encourages to file insignificant entities, like local businesses, groceries etc. Or they were hard/unfriendly to use.  I saw a hole in the market, which I was able to fill - even if it would be just for my own needs.

I'll go under the hood in some of my future posts; I don't want to shoot out all my ammunition right away ;-)

If you want to comment any of my posts, go ahead and don't hesitate. Even it may be a while since the post has been published, I didn't have any audience for some months so there was nobody to comment :) I'm still following all my posts and sometimes I do some "refactoring" in them.
