Hi,
I'm happy to soft-announce an entirely new ARC release[1]. ARC is
a flexible RDF system for semantic web and PHP practitioners. It's
open-source, easy to use, and runs in most web server environments.
ARC v2 is based on feedback I received during the last years,
it has now become an integrated and more stable toolkit that
provides components for a wide range of RDF specs, trends,
and tasks:
* ConNeg-capable Web Reader
* Parsers for RDF/XML, Turtle, SPARQL, HTML Tag Soup
* RDF-from-HTML Extractors for DC, eRDF, RDFa, OpenID Hooks,
several microformats (more to come)
* Serializers for N-Triples, RDF/XML, Turtle, RDF/JSON[2]
* RDF Storage via SPARQL (read) and SPARQL+[3] (write), including
a compliant HTTP Endpoint class
* Resource-centric and triple-centric PHP structures
* FP/IFP-based Consolidator
* Turtle Templates[4]
This is a preview version, some components are still incomplete or
missing. They will be enhanced and added during the coming weeks
(esp. a store optimizer for improved performance and scalability).
I've set up a couple of tools to provide support and gather
early feedback[5]. Any questions, bug reports, and suggestions
to improve ARC on its way to the final release are more than
welcome.
Cheers,
Benji
