Hi,
Seeing your RDF-Ruby programming, you might be interested in ActiveRDF,
which provides an O/R mapping from RDF to Ruby (which is exactly what you
have been doing here yourself, but nicer and much more generic). Point it
to an RDF store, and all resources can be accessed as Ruby objects.
Although we is still in alpha status, you can take a look at
http://activerdf.m3pe.org. We currently support Redland and YARS, and
adding an adapter to another RDF store is around 30 lines of code.
ActiveRDF can also be used in Ruby-on-Rails (http://rubyonrails.org), and
then makes for a nice Rapid Application Development Semantic Web framework.
