RDFStore - Perl API for RDF Storage
version 0.42
http://rdfstore.sourceforge.net
RDFStore version 0.42 has been released to CPAN!
Changes:
- implemented new compact indexing model to allow boolean and
free-text searches
- added rdf2n3p.pl utility to generate N-triples
- updated SiRPAC parser accordingly to some of the latest RDF
Core WG decisions
(see
http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#attention-developers)
* rdf-ns-prefix-confusion
* rdfms-abouteachprefix
* rdfms-empty-property-elements
* rdf-containers-formalmodel
- added PPM package for the latest snap shot for win32 users
This release introduces a new indexing model that uses RLE compression
of indexes
and allows free-text searches (word match) on literal values; such an
index it is quite suitable
for boolean queries also. A first attempt to use the N-Triples syntax
has been done by the rdf2n3.pl script; the SiRPAC perl parser is under
updating trying to keep it aligned with the RDF Core WG decisions. I
also planned to separate the RDF parser out from the main distribution
soon.
Next steps includes to implement the indexing algorithm in some C and XS
code to gain speed and
write a DBD driver for SQL-ish (SQUISH) queries over rdfstores.
I use to post upgrades and patches between releases through Yahoo at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rdfstore; I invite you to join if you are
interested.
