CSV on the Web Implementations

Hello everyone,

I’ve written around to all the people I know of who have mentioned that they’re implementing the CSV on the Web specs, but also want to put a call out here:

Our timetable for moving to Proposed Recommendation means that we need implementations before the end of October. Even partial implementations are helpful.

If you’re thinking of implementing, as an indication of effort, I’ve just finished a validating implementation in Ruby [1]. It took about 5 days of work to support CSVW (on top of an existing CSV parser etc). I found the test suite [2] really helpful: I generated tests from it and simply worked through them until I was done. Gregg also wrote up his implementation experience [3] on top of an RDF stack.

If you are implementing, please let us know so that we can include you in the list that we’re pulling together.

Thanks,

Jeni
