RDF in Ruby?

Earlier today….

  1. eran: trying to install from source
  2. eran: cant get this crap to work even from source
  3. eran: are they seriously planning to build the semantic web over this??? 10 years and they don’t even have a working library.
  4. ryan: yeah
  5. ryan if you can’t get a library that’ll work in ruby on mac osx you aren’t trying
  6. ryan: and you are going to get ‘web developers’ to do it
  7. eran dude, i’m talking about linux
  8. eran: it’s not like fedora core is some obscure distro either
  9. eran and they’ve been using ruby for “semantic web” project for like 3 yrs now
  10. eran if not more

Seriously, there’s gotta be an RDF library for Ruby that works, no? And by works I mean, is installable.

    Will FeedTools do what you are looking to do? I am using it in a project to parse and provide feeds of different formats, but I am not sure how you are wanting to use RDF.

    I was needing to parse FOAF files, not feeds. So, I don’t think FeedTools would help.

    I’ve successfully used Redland in Java and Python with absolutely no worries at all, it would seem strange and unusual that Ruby would be so much harder.

    Phil-

    Was that on Mac OSX? That seems to be the trouble. (wel, beside Eran not getting it to build on FC)

    Windows and, er, some flavour of Linux; I can’t remember which, sorry!
