Virtual Data Lakes

Soda is a data content management system based on virtual data lakes.

The Lacibus virtual data lake implementation is an open source Java program. There is information about it on the lacibus.net website, which covers the open source aspects of Lacibus work. The project is hosted on Gitlab and described on its wiki page, which contains a link to the source code documentation.

The Soda Data Content Management System

Soda is mostly written in Java, with some client-side Javascript. It provides a user interface to data stored in virtual data lake sources, with the ability to display data, edit data, and import data from JSON APIs.

Technology 101

Soda is at the intersection of some complex technology, such as traditional data management, new data storage paradigms, semantic technology, knowledge graphs, zero-trust security, and web APIs. Here is a selection of YouTube videos on these technologies. They won't make you an expert, but they are the best short introductions to their subjects that we could find. (If you have made, or know of a really good short video on or related to these topics, please tell us about it!)
