Minor point: depending on what you are matching against, you might need to tighten the regexes somewhat. ".*" is greedy (and relatively expensive). Using something like [^\d]* is cheaper than .*\d. The last RE should be /./ Also, it might perhaps be an idea to include the original licence string (which you match against) in the RDF. This would be useful for debugging, if nothing else..
