In my experience (I played with it a bit) doing a metadata checker is the most complex task, ie, whatever is in the metadata document. Once you have done that, producing an RDF and/or a JSON conversion is relatively easy. Ie, I would start with the metadata document...

Not really. Whatever language is the easiest for you. I know we have promises in Ruby, Python, possibly JavaScript; Java is certainly a good option.

But if you really want to play and would do, say, a Go implementation, that would be cool, too:-)
