I just announced this on the public-esw-thes and public-rdf-ruby lists. I started to make a Ruby API for SKOS.
Example code snippet from the readme.txt (see that link for the corresponding output):
require “src/jena_skos”
s1 = SKOS.new(“http://norman.walsh.name/knows/taxonomy”)
s1.read(“http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/author/mortenf/skos.rdf” )
s1.read(“file:samples/archives.rdf”)
s1.concepts.each_pair do |url,c|
puts “SKOS: #{url} label: #{c.prefLabel}”
end
c1 = s1.concepts["http://www.ukat.org.uk/thesaurus/concept/1366"] # Agronomy

…an ancestor of which was Damian Steer’s RDFAuthor tool for MacOSX, which could generate Squish (a SPARQL precursor) and query services over the ‘array of hashtables’ SOAP-for-rdf-query non spec [...]

Another day, another local Semantic Web group. This time in Austin, Texas…
Via former ILRT colleague Joel Crisp, I just stumbled on their Facebook group. Hope they don’t kick me out when they find out I’m not from around there. Seems a Web site may be coming soon too. For those inside Hotel Facebook, I just [...]
