Refactoring, step 3.5
OK, I know it’s been forever since I posted anything on RDF, but between my other writing, a new job, and the final desperate slog to permanent residence status in NZ, I’ve been busy.
One of the hardest decision in writing part 4 (still in draft) is sorting through the multitude of options for specifying RDF type information. There’s rdf:type, owl:Class, the whole rdfs namespace, and questions of implicit/explicit typing.
Now, I had an approach, but for people actually reading this series (are there any? I never see any comments, but maybe my comment filters are too aggressive), I want to make sure it’s a balance between the least effort and widest support. So I’m going back and trying a couple different approaches. One of them will make it out alive and into part 4.

Have you looked at the latest Sparta.py + Redland at all? I’m playing around with Python for a Redland backend and would like to bring Sparta into the mix somehow, I only just saw what you posted last month.

I’m looking at that, but concentrating on getting the python Redland bindings compiling on Windows first (for the prestige, mostly). Almost there thanks to distutils, but need a little more work on the Redland.dll front (raptor.dll is fine, think rasqal.dll will be once I have Redland building).
Thanks for the category catch.
