Hello everybody,
I am a new member of this list and first of all I wish everybody Happy
Holidays.
I also take the occasion to introduce the RDF plugin for web2py.
http://web2py.com/semantic
web2py is an Open Source web framework for rapid application
development written in Python and programmable in Python. web2py runs
almost everywhere and includes everything you need for web development
in one package including a ssl-enabled web server, a transaction-safe
relational database, a web-based IDE, a web-based database
administration tool, and a Database Abstraction Layer that writes SQL
for you and works transparently on SQLite, MySQL, Postgresql, Oracle,
MSSQL, FireBird, DB2, Informix, Ingres, and on Google App Engine.
Web2py requires no installation: just download, unzip and click to
start it.
You can see an online demo here:
http://web2py.com/demo_admin
The RDF plugin allows to label (tag) database fields and relations
with ontologies and web2py automatically exposes the data in the
database as Linked Data via a RESTful web service. Works with all
database back-ends listed above.
Any comment and feedback will be appreciated.
Any reason why you don't use ODBC for your data access? Your references
above imply you implemented data access APIs on a DBMS by DBMS basis.
ODBC is not only superior to all Native DBMS APIs, it is generic thereby
shrinking you development and maintenance costs.
