        1. could talk to different backends like blaze graph
        2. just a few remaining issues to wrap up and metadata enrichment will follow
      3. Is the gem one of the group's deliverables?
        1. It was part of WG aims - a way to share code that deals with linked data
        2. Like an intermediate layer that allows Blazegraph to act as a caching layer
        3. We need a standardized interface to make calls against so we can share linked data

      1. code in Hydraworks takes care of FITS info they want to express in RDF
      2. PBCore XML might have some rdf properties that will need to be expressed that can't be expressed in EBUCore
