RDFStore 0.50 released

While at 1st FOAFCamp and enjoying some beers with some friends-of-friends I got mad coding and decided to release what was on my iBook G3 hard drive about RDFStore. So version 0.50 is out on CPAN for playing to people and hackers - license is friendly BSD style.

Code aval on CPAN, SourceForge CVS repository or as tarballs directly from toolkit Web site.

Most of the code has been re-written in pure ANSI C and a new
native indexing model for RDF has been built in. Several RDF based shallow Semantic Web application-s has been successfully built using the toolkit from Asemantics S.r.l and its partners.

Major changes include:

- pure ANSI C and native RDF hash-storage and indexing
- simple RDQL support
- native storage Unicode, free-text, stemming, xml:lang and rdf:datatype indexing
- RDF/XML parser made compliant to latest RDF/XML spec - all positive RDF-Core
tests are being passed successfully
- simple N-Triples parser
- triples source/provenance support
- fetch_object / CBD support
- RDF/XML, N-Triples and RDF-for-XML output for RDQL queries

Various misc demos are available at

http://demo2.asemantics.com/rdfstore/

Future developments will include support for upciming DAWG/BRQL query language, pure C query interface, ODBC and JDBC APIs. Together with a Jena / Java and PHP front-ends.

anyway, FOAFCamp is big FUN!! :-)
