Needlebase is a data acquisition, integration, correction, analysis and republishing platform, which lets you assemble, explore and query graph-structured databases. It does not represent these databases as sets of triples, doesn't serialize them as RDF, and doesn't query them with SPARQL. Glenn will talk about why not, and what Needle does instead, and why it might matter.
