Announcing the new 'testparse' method

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

The Social Graph API now includes a way to parse a page on-the-fly for testing:

http://code.google.com/apis/socialgraph/docs/testparse.html

The parser that's running there is the same as the one that's been parsing the web regularly, but it's slightly newer.  The FOAF parser was recently rewritten, and the XFN parser got a bunch of love as well.  The index will be reparsed with the new parsers soon.

Great for testing!

But unfortunately these tests still show that google reader links are being truncated to:

Sorry, it's been fixed in public svn for awhile, but I haven't updated the production code with the new nodemapper rules yet.  I'd been trying to get another new feature done first which will enable easier/more frequent nodemapper updates.

It'll be fixed, though.  Sorry for the delay.

I tried this on my FOAF file, http://home.comcast.net/~gzub/foaf.rdf
but it never returns any data... Is there a syntax error in my foaf
file?

Ah, I see the problem (mine, not yours):  the xml:base is alternating the RDF triples that I'm expecting to find from raptor, so then I'm unable to find the primaryTopic.  Easily fixable.  Thanks for bringing this up!

I'll email again when this is fixed in production.

Fixed in production.

A much richer FOAF update is in progress which knows of dozens of new predicates.
