| Description: |
An experimental RDF system implemented in Ruby.
There are other, more complete Ruby RDF packages around now, eg. Redland-RDF wrapper for the Redland C implementation; Rena; Samizdat, and others.
The public-rdf-ruby (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-ruby/) list can be used for discussion and collaboration on this topic. RubyRdf might be of interest for ideas, but the code is far from production quality, and the interfaces unstable. It is not being developed further, except in the context of contributing ideas to more professionally maintained packages.
RubyRdf includes an in-memory RDF graph implementation, as well as an SQL-based implementation of the Squish RDF query language (requires PostgreSQL). It includes an RDF parser (donated from the Liber project, and updated to handle rdf:nodeID), as well as basic support for the N-Triples dump syntax, alongside (experimentally) wrappers for
an XSLT RDF parser (requires XSLT). Ruby-RDF is 'semantic web vapourware', use with caution :)
(as I used a very generic name for this project, I'm considering what to do about that... discussion on public-rdf-ruby is probably a good first step).
