Damian Steer of HP Labs has released the initial version of his SquirrelRDF. The project homepage is the cutest ever.
I talked about SquirrelRDF previously.
Like our D2RQ/D2R Server, SquirrelRDF enables SPARQL queries against relational database content. In addition, it also enables queries against LDAP data.
I didn’t have a chance to play with it yet, but it looks well-executed and the documentation is excellent. It will certainly help to get more data into the Semantic Web.
I also owe Damian a thank you. He gave me the source for SquirrelRDF’s ExtractConfig tool a couple of weeks ago. The code analyzes a database schema and produces a mapping configuration file. I used the code as a starting point for D2R Server’s equivalent feature, the generate-mapping script. I wouldn’t have had that feature ready in time for my www2006 demo otherwise.
