Being Java, Sesame isn't appropriate for inclusion into Beagle proper. (IKVM or some sort of Java->C# translation might be possible, but the former is a shim and brutal on resources and the latter isn't something I want to maintain.) I am really hoping that a managed solution like SemWeb will be adequate for us. > Expressing metadata in RDF format, as described e.g. in > http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/ Ah, ok. I don't view RDF as a "format", since it has no real representation (like Unicode). I tend to think of it more as a "data model." How it is stored and expressed is where things like relational databases, N3 and RDF-XML, etc. come in and are largely implementation details. That's why I was confused on how you'd be sharing the data between components.
