Presentation round

[Alberto Reggiori]

hi all

my name is Alberto Reggiori and I am partner of Asemantics S.r.l.  
[1]. I have been working on RDF for more than 8 years and developed  
the RDFStore [2] toolkit lunched back in 2000. It is a native C/Perl  
RDF hashed storage including a pure Perl RDF/XML compliant parser;  
also having a SPARQL/RDQL query interface. I participated to W3C DAWG  
SPARQL standardization and worked on several real-world and  
commercial Perl RDF based solutions (E.g. image/video searches, EO,  
FOAF...). And contributed a few CPAN RDF related Perl module.  
Recently the RDFStore work has been one of the three seeding projects  
to the Apache Triplesoup incubator [3]. Also related to this  
discussion there is a (quite obsolete) list of Perl-RDF/API  
references page maintained [4].

Looking forward to help and contribute to any common/shared Perl/RDF  
work.


cheers

Alberto
