uFormat's parser for Ruby.

Its page has simple code examples on how to extract microformats.
Something similar should be possible for SIOC too, possibly using
ActiveRDF. But it needs to be written up - telling how to find
information in an easy way.

After looking at the mofo examples: yes, if you use ActiveRDF,
accessing
SIOC is just as easy as accessing microformats with mofo.
Actually, I did it for the SIOC explorer. [1]

And I think I can write up the recipies for doing that. What I would
need to know before doing that:

1.) At what location should I put that information? Is there a highly
visible SIOC wiki or other SIOC "knowledge base" to put this?

2.) what should be contained in that recipie ? I am thinking of these
steps:
* show how to get SIOC data from a webpage which has a meta link to a
sioc profile
* show how to access that sioc data in an object oriented way in ruby

Optional:
a.) put information about crawling SIOC data into the guide. AFAIK
that is mostly just following all rdf:seeAlso in the fetched data. Is
there enough of a consensus as to how fragments of SIOC data from one
exporter should link to each other?
b.) after looking at feedback and suggestions and if time allows,
these steps could be packaged as a gem, allowing the access to SIOC
data in 2 lines or so.
