andrewppar / vimanzo

A vim plugin (just a breakable toy so far, folks) to manage anzo from within vim. The goal is to make a lightweight client for Anzo devops that is usable in any environment.

Welcome to vimanzo

This project brings functionality of Anzo to vim. Expect nothing except collaboration so far, the idea is fairly experimental.

Goals

Some possible areas of implementation/goals

• provide editor/CRUD for named graphs in the Anzo Journal
• report/navigation of Anzo configuration assets
• form or template-based editing of Anzo configuration assets
• Execution of Anzo devops
• query builder/runner/result browser

should bundle or rely on a good RDF filetype plugin

Scenario - Data Layers

One part of the Anzo UI that is fairly well designed but could use a better client is the Data Layers UI. In vim, this could be the start of a graphmart manager. Basically you'd use VIM to interact with specific named graphs on the server. We might want to prove out this general capability as an end-to-end start.

Story is that as a data integrator working on data layers, I want to

• edit query step's query,

• save it,

• refresh the graphmart.

• as in Anzo, the graphmart should belong to just one person so as to avoid concurrent editing issues.

• Operations

A. Navigation to data layer

• List graphmarts
• Select a graphmart/data layers
• Select a query step (just list query steps?)
• Open the query for the query step

This functionality probably depends on just the ability to run a sparql query and display results, which is a general requirement of the plugin. The UI contains a list of graphmart names, maybe browsable like a tree (NERDTree?)

B. Edit query

• A normal sparql edit buffer should be very good here. Whether such a syntax exists is another question...
• automated prefix resolution (PFE) - subfeature unto itself
• 'query builder' functionality too?

C. Save query

• Save in this case would have to update a triple in the query step named graph...

D. Refresh Graphmart

• I envision an 'operations' view that will help someone quickly navigate common devops commands such as
  • run pipeline/job
  • reload graphmart
  • refresh graphmart
