Simple Sloppy Semantic Database...

...aka S3DB is a distributed infrastructure that relies on Semantic Web concepts for management of heterogeneous data, as is described in this Wikipedia article.

An open-source implementation (in PHP) is available, the rationale, core data model, and usage are described and illustrated here. There's even a video.

This development may impact the future management of bioinformatics.

An extension to JSON for S3DB is proposed here.
