RDF::Query 2.0 beta
I’ve been posting some beta release of RDF::Query 2.0 to CPAN, the latest being 2.000_05. I’ve had masaka (as the most vocal [and helpful] user of RDF::Query) test some of the previous releases, and I think things have mostly stabilized in the past few weeks. I think this is getting close to a final release, but would welcome any feedback from other interested parties before I do that.
This new release has some important API changes which I’ve tried to note in the documentation, but I’d be particularly interested in any comments people might have about gaps in the documentation, both regarding changes from 1.x to 2.x as well as for general use.
Since the last release (1.501), I’ve split off a lot of the code into the independent RDF::Trine package. This is meant to be a general RDF framework (akin to RDF::Core), but more attuned to the issues related to the requirements of querying. RDF::Trine is a requirement of RDF::Query 2.000 (whether your underlying data is stored in RDF::Trine, Redland, or RDF::Core) and its node and statement classes are used as return values from query execution.
So anyone who’s interested, please feel free to download the beta, give it a spin and let me know how it goes.
