ARC 2 preview release from Benjamin Nowack on 2007-11-28 (semantic-web@w3.org from November 2007) (original) (raw)
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
