SliTaz SPARQL
vid
based websites for semantic content. With these tools you can extract
all the triples in an RDF file and write SPARQL queries asking for
specific information. For instance, “find me the names of all the
elements in the periodic table”.
Two query tools are included. The first tool is called, ROQET, which
is distributed with the Redland RDF libraries. The second tool is
called, TWINKLE, and is a GUI interface that wraps the ARQ sparql
query engine. The tool for finding all the triples in an RDF file is
called RAPPER. In addtion you will also find a tool called LQRAPS, for
reconstructing RDF from tabular data.
The LiveCD can be downloaded from here (http://ifile.it/5vrmy1b). Once
you have booted the LiveCD and logged in (username: hacker, no
password), you should start firefox and read the contents of the start
page.
The Version of POPLOG included on the LiveCD described here (http://
groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.pop/browse_thread/thread/
15583f6feae8bc98), will work with this version of SliTaz.
In summary the LiveCD contains the following:
* The Redland RDF libraries
* TWINKLE
* LQRAPS
If you have any queries do not hesitate to contact me (ae...@tlen.pl).

I found the slitaz-with-poplog.iso file very slow to download from
that site, so I have put a copy of it here:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/slitaz-with-poplog.iso (43MB)
I have written the file onto a bootable CD and tested it in a Dell
latitude d610 laptop. It boots up OK though every time you have to
specify the language and the type of keyboard, and select a screen
resolution (I tried both 1400x1050 and 1280x1024 and both worked
fine.
Although there was a utility for configuring networks, it was not
able to configure either wireless (ipw2200) or my ethernet port.
Clicking on the yellow icon makes poplog start up with its control
panel. I also found that I could open an xterm window, and in
that give standard commands like pop11, xved, prolog, etc.
Poplog had been installed in /usr/lib/poplog and the environment
variables for running it were already set.
I was able to create a new pop11 saved image containing the
mini-SHRDLU demo, using the mkgblocks command, and run it using
pop11 +gblocks
I tried several other programs including eliza, the rclib control
panel demo and a few demonstration programs using the SimAgent
toolkit and graphics.
Everything worked, but there were warning messages about the font
specified in the demos not being available (helvetica) and the
alternative font substitued was rather ugly. But the text was
readable.
When the LiveCD is running everything is installed in the computer's
main memory, including any files created by the user. Obviously
anyone wanting to use this system seriously will need to have some
way of saving files. I did not check out whether it has the ability
mount a partition of the hard drive, or to mount a USB flash drive,
which would probably be the best solution.
Congratulations to Andrew: this makes it possible for PC-users who
do not have linux running to test out the full version of poplog and
pop-11 without having to put anything on their hard drive.
Has anyone else tried using this?
