Hi all, Jeni Tenisson's recent post [1] suggesting that RDF should have a standard path language encouraged me to experiment with some ideas that I have been having for a while. The main idea is to implement an XPath-like language for RDF, directly *inside* the programming language, meaning that the path is not a string, but build using the actual "/" and "[]" operators of the language. It works pretty well in python, and does not involve a lot of code, as demonstrated by [2]. I guess this could easily be ported to other languages supporting operator overloading. This is only a proof of concept, but I think it has some potential (I already have several ideas to extend this...), so I put this on googlecode. If anybody also thinks it is a good idea, please let me know. pa [1] http://www.jenitennison.com/blog/node/149 [2] http://code.google.com/p/rdf-pypath/source/browse/trunk/rdfpypath.py
