Semantic weblogs++

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

I have just made some updates to my Semantic Weblogs page with a few new people, mostly what I’ve called occasional semweb bloggers. The ones in the main list are those that feed Planet RDF directly as already described by Edd in Planet Blog but it might not be quite clear how the content gets there. It starts off with me [...]

RDFDB for win32 and MDDB

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

Jasper van de Gronde popped up on the redland-dev list with some bugs and fixes for Raptor on win32 with MSVC6 (i.e. not cygwin). Turns out he’s been working on what I’ve called RDFDB/win32 which is a much modified port of RDFDB to Win32 and has now switched to using Raptor for the parsing. Somewhat of a similar space to Redland but with a server [...]

W3C and Atom

Saturday, May 22nd, 2004

The Courtship of Atom by Kendall Grant Clark (XML.com) reports on the W3C/Atom discussions - would the W3C be a good home for it? I attended the 2004-05-18 ad-hoc meeting in New York that Kendall mentions.

Rasqal RDF Query Library Toolkit 0.9.0 Released

Saturday, May 15th, 2004

I got all the pieces together after a lot of last minute issues and announced the first public version of my Rasqal RDF Query Library. It’s free, portable, fast and does RDQL out of the box, no triple store required - just Raptor for parsing. If Redland’s plugged in, you get a faster again indexed store. The main use I want [...]
