I think RDF.rb does this very well. Although it is a difficult to balance up against keeping it easy to install and use. In the meantime, would it help to have a script that automatically creates a cut down version of EasyRdf from the git repo? nick. ----------------------------- http://www.bbc.co.uk This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
