Thanks Malcolm. I'm curious more than anything, since RDF etc gets talked about a lot, but implementations rarely seem to make it into the real-world.
I referenced the exact same resource to pull together a basic triple-store library in Rails a while back, and it was fairly painless (although a tad hacky) - perhaps I'll sit down to try the same with Python and Django sometime. I certainly found the code I had working to be VERY powerful. Just out of curiosity, did you use a SPARQL-style syntax to build queries, then convert it into standard SQL? Or did you do what I did, and have an object-based API translate to SQL without a middle-man? -Phil On 19/06/06, Malcolm Tredinnick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mon, 2006-06-19 at 12:35 +0100, Phil Powell wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Just out of pure curiosity: has anyone had any experience / know of > > any work around using RDF / triple stores with Django? > > This was the "toy project" I used to get familiar with Django in about > October last year (aah.. the memories).
