My plans

[Kjetil Kjernsmo]

Hi!

I just figured I'd make a short post about my plans:

My primary focus so far has been bridging RDF::Trine and RDF::RDFa::Parser, 
but this work has been taken over by Toby. I wanted to make sure I had a 
XML::LibXML::Node for any XMLLiterals, since I needed that for the sequel.

Recently, I've focused on my RDFa Templating language. The idea is 
described here:

Basically, it has been too hard to create web pages with RDF data, and 
though solutions exist, Fresnel, some other templating language extensions 
and stuff, it seemed to me that we should start off with the graph pattern 
already modelled in RDFa, but use XML structure for the rest. 

This stirred up some controversy:

tf/2009Feb/0005.html
but nevertheless, I decided to code the thing, and see where it would take 
us rather than spend a lot of time discussing.
The code is at http://svn.kjernsmo.net/RDF-RDFa-Template/
it is somewhat disorganized, so I need to write more docs before releasing. 
Also, I have to learn to write a SAX Filter on deep structures to get it 
finished. Unfortunately, I have very little time to do it.

Then, I'd like to look into using Class::OWL has a model in Catalyst. It is 
important to be able to implement static methods to be inherited in the 
class hierarchy as well as dynamic class generation, and I need to 
understand the full implications of this. Finally, sewing the templating 
language above and this model together in a coherent system to write web 
applications is the ultimate goal.

Cheers,

Kjetil
