You might want to have a look at RDFReactor [3], which is doing something like that for Java already, and at ActiveRDF [2] which works for Ruby and is quite a bit more comprehensive. In [2] we discuss the difficulties mapping the Semantic Web RDF/DL to the OO paradigm, and how a dynamic language such as Ruby helps to do this. I hope this will help getting you started, and to realise the challenges ahead...(and by the way, there are several more frameworks that try to do the same, as discussed in the paper). -eyal [1] http://activerdf.org [2] http://eyaloren.org/pubs/sfsw2006.pdf [3] http://rdfreactor.ontoware.org/
