blog  Inspecting an ontology with RDFLib.

Jul 2011

RDFLib (homepage) is a solid and comprehensive RDF programming kit for Python. In a previous post, I discussed the Pythonic options currently available for doing semantic web programming. After more in-depth testing, I realized that RDFLib is the most accessible and complete of them all (in fact, many of the available libraries are based on RDFLib's APIs). So here we go: in this post I'm providing an overview of some of the things you can do with this library.

blog  Survey of Pythonic tools for RDF and Linked Data programming.

Feb 2011

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a data model and language that is quickly gaining momentum in the open-data and data-integration worlds. In this post, I'm reporting on a recent survey I conducted in the context of a Linked Data project I'm working on, SAILS. In SAILS, we're developing a prototype for RDF data manipulation and querying. Since the final application will be written in Python and Django, in what follows I've tried to gather information about all existing libraries and frameworks for RDF programming using Python.
