Dear all, As part of the recently announced XOTcl version http://x65.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=699637286&CONTEXT=975934485.1094516755&hitnum=1 http://x65.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=699633033&CONTEXT=975934485.1094516755&hitnum=3 we developed and improved our RDF parser substantially (references to our previous version are e.g. on http://www.w3.org/RDF/). The aim of the new implementation is to provide a very flexible means for integration in different contexts through the use of high level object oriented concepts such as design patterns. The new version of the parser is much more complete (we have a growing list of test exercises in our regression test) and is much faster. On the applications page of http://www.xotcl.org you can find an on-line demo for the parser. The parser is part of the XOTcl distribution, which is available in source, and in binary form for Linux (tar.gz or .rpm) and Windows (.zip) platforms. Also included in the distribution is demo application of the RDF parser called UNIVERSAL.xotcl, which was developed as a prototype for the ongoing IST project UNIVERSAL (some about universal is on http://nm.wu-wien.ac.at/universal/metadata.html). The aim of the project is to develop a B2B platform for the exchange of learning resources between higher education institutions. The prototype demo application is a specialized Web-Server, that parses an RDF file describing (potentially heterogenous) learning resources into triples, presents key information in a catalog, and presents the detailed information in the form of nested HTML-tables. The program is about 250 lines of code. A version of the prototype version is online reachable on the page mentioned above. Kind regards -gustaf neumann uwe zdun
