Hi Eric, http://www.w3.org/1999/02/26-modules/ http://www.w3.org/2001/Talks/0505-perl-RDF-lib/ http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/perl/modules/W3C/Rdf/Algae.pm?rev=1.41&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup I've been looking at W3c::RDF::Algae.pm with an eye to dropping in alternate backend database implementations, like we discussed recently. I've also got a wrapper for the Squish RDF query language that I'll contrib when I've got some tests implemented to be sure it works properly. Anyway, a suggestion: It seems the way Algae.pm currently works, one needs a class that implements W3C::RDF::RdfDB that can be constructed afresh by the query engine, ie. the method W3C::RDF::Algae::checkForDBSpec() wants to be passed a class name plus a bunch of initialisation parameters, which'll allow it to create a new instance of some species of RDF database. Suggestion: Often one's application code will *already* have its hands on a reference to such a database object, so it'd be nice if this could just be passed to the query engine instead. Currently you do: eval "require $dbSpec; \$\$pDb = new $dbSpec(\$parms);"; ...could you hack it to take a Perl reference instead? Would this break anything else? That way I can create RDF database instances and initialise them without having to have Algae do that work... cheers, --danbriReceived on Tuesday, 26 June 2001 18:01:06 UTC
