Perl and RDF

The Perl RDF project hopes to address these issues:

1. Publish an official API for storage, parsing and serializing modules.
2. Produce a set of base classes for representing common RDF objects such as statements and nodes (resources, literals, blank nodes).
3. Produce patches to existing RDF tools to support these APIs, subclassing where appropriate.
4. Produce a test suite for storage, parsing, serializing, statement and node classes.

Please subscribe to the perlrdf mailing-list and get in touch! There is also an IRC channel.

The rest is coming soon... Meanwhile, here is a list of Perl RDF packages on CPAN:

• RDF::Helper - Provide a consistent, Perlish interface to Perl's varous RDF processing tools

• RDF::Query - SPARQL query engine based on RDF::Trine, RDF::Redland or RDF::Core

• RDF::RDFa::Parser - RDFa parser using XML::LibXML

• RDF::Redland - RDF triplestore and query engine based on the Redland C library

• RDF::Scutter - Web crawler for harvesting distributed RDF resources

• RDF::Trine - RDF parsers, serializers, triplestore (primarily based on DBI)

• RDF::Core - RDF triplestore (postgresql, DB_File, and in-memory), RDF/XML parser and serializer
