Announcing EOR

         Extensible Open RDF Toolkit (EOR)
            http://eor.dublincore.org/ 

EOR is an open source project, whose goal is to facilitate the rapid 
development of RDF applications focused on the discovery, management, 
integration and navigation of metadata.

The EOR toolkit is a collection of extensible Java classes and services
which 
serve as a code base, demonstrating by example functions and services common

to RDF applications, i.e., metadata capture, search engines, etc..

EOR was developed, and is currently funded, by the OCLC Office of Research
and The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.
 
This is the initial release and includes the following features:
   
   * Login service for authenticating users and managing personal save areas
   * Validate service for validating, serializing and saving RDF models
     to persistent data stores
   * Infuse service for inserting models into a relational database
   * Remove service for deleting models from the database
   * Search service complete with XSLT translation of the resultset model
   * Session management interface to support application development
   * Administration service for managing the creation and deletion of RDF
     databases
   * Free software / Open Source license

This is an open source project and the complete source is included with this

release.  Details for downloading and installing EOR can be found on the 
project home page: http://eor.dublincore.org/
