[Rdf2go-devel] New Releases of RDF2Go and RDFReactor

Wed Apr 16 19:39:51 CEST 2008

Hi,

  today, after some days of work, I proudly announce the availability of
  RDF2Go 4.6. I also made a corresponding RDFReactor release.

@Nepomuk:
  Before  we  can  use them in NEPOMUK, the DFKI wizards have to put them in ETP
  and create MANIFEST files.

=== RDF2Go ===

  A complete .zip with all Jars can be found at [3].

  RDF2Go 4.6 API
  - added namespace support
  - minor improvements (addModel/ModelSet)
  - full changelog at [1]
  - tests close all models carefully

  - supports Sesame 2.0.1 release

  Jena 2.4 adapter

  - still on Jena 2.4

=== RDFReactor ===

  Make RDF2Go releases valid OSGI bundles

  Who  can  help  us in making proper OSGI manifests? We could then include them
  into the JARs.

http://octopus13.fzi.de:8080/browse/RTGO-17
  Leo, this one is still open.
  "Improve  documentation  and  tests  for org.ontoware.rdf2go.util.RDFTool, add
  timezone support". Feel free to comment on the issue.

  test ModelSet

  Axel,  we  still  appreciate help here. Although I added more tests myself for
  this  relased,  there  are  always  corner  cases  that  are  not  yet tested.
  Especially when using multiple different RDF repositories together.

   Implement access to inferencing

   An API question. What is a good way to give access to the plain model and the
   inference model? Is the inference model a read-only model?
   We could need some discussion in the comments of this issue.

http://octopus13.fzi.de:8080/browse/RTGO-27
   Axel, you added this. Is "x implements y" not good enough?
   Please give more hints in the comments of this issue.

http://octopus13.fzi.de:8080/browse/RTGO-18
   Create clean service provider interface (SPI)

   Here I still have to define a minimal set of required methods.
   There are however not so many stores, so this is not urgent.

http://octopus13.fzi.de:8080/browse/RTGO-15
   Fix outdated docu mentioned on http://ontoworld.org/wiki/RDF2Go#Documentation_and_Tutorial
   Some help here is always really appreciated!

   Prepared queries

   Gunnar introduced this one. The current design makes it possible. In fact, an
   Iterable  is  a  prepared  query. Only the call to ".iterator()" executes the
   query. That's at least one way to implement it.
