Should I omit database and server communication (after initial response)?

I have a project that I’m working on where a user uploads a big file which gets parsed by the backend, and then returns the data back in a friendlier format. Now I’m wondering whether I actually need a database to store it, or should I just send all the data back to the user in JSON and let JavaScript to show the data properly on button presses?

Semantic web and web UI impedance matching

While developing a web-application (= application with web UI) using semantic web resources / technology like RDF, OWL, SPARQL, there is constantly a feeling that at the same time semantic offers much greater possibilities to make a web more human and less “database-style” (not that I do like “parrot-style” popular with start-ups at the moment), as well as a feeling that means to create UI are somewhat limited in the face of openness of the data.

Is it possible to implement a RESTful API with a protocol other than HTTP(S)?

I was confused by the distinction between REST and HTTP, and I found this article that cleared things up for me. In summary, it explained that REST is a set of general principles for web communication, whereas HTTP is a specific application-layer internet protocol. The article pointed out that HTTP lends itself to following REST principles, but there are plenty of examples where applications violate REST while using HTTP.
