Redland RDF Application Framework 0.9.15 released

Saturday, January 31st, 2004

I’m so happy to announce to to the world that Redland 0.9.15 is released. It is, as always, too long since the last release but reading the news page I seemed to do better in 2003 (3) than 2002 (1) since I was concentrating on Raptor releases: 2003 (7), 2002 (4).

Medusa, RDF, and Redland

Thursday, January 29th, 2004

Medusa, RDF, and Redland by Curtis C. Hovey (aka Sinzui / Essence) thinking about using redland for the GNOME search/metadata system Medusa. He likes the use of standards but needs a solid and fast database with an extensible schema and good search. Maybe going to GNOME storage later.

RDF in PNG

Thursday, January 29th, 2004

RDF in PNG by Ross Burton on adding RDF into PNG images with the tEXt field, like I was doing with pngmeta years ago now with a new tool PyPNG.

Writing XML

Friday, January 23rd, 2004

It seems Tim Bray has decided to write an XML writer in C called Genx that is lightweight and writes safe and efficient XML. I had to write a Exclusive Canonical XML writer for the RDF/XML parser in Raptor (which now contains several RDF parsers). in order to emit the XML literals from rdf:parseType=”Literal”. Raptor works on top of libxml2 or expat, so I couldn’t [...]
