Re^4: Creating Metadata from Text File

While I haven't gone looking quite yet, do you know if these other RDF solutions are perl driven.
I'm trying to do it the "brute force" method because we need something quick, easy, and something that can be completely automated. I will have to at least look into this RDF you speak of.

No, unfortunately there is not much perl driven development in the Metadata/Semantics space that I am aware of. Most of it seems to be Java right now. And please, don't take my reference to "brute force" in the wrong way; its admirable that you are attemting this at all, and I will be eager to see any results you achieve: but I wanted you to know that others had attempted this before and came up with a very useful method. I am primarily a data warehouse developer, but I have been interested in metadata collection and utilisation for about 5 years now. Tim Berners-Lee is pushing for standards in this area; and RDFS (RDF-Schemae) is a big step toward his "Semantic Web" goal.	[reply]

Oh well...In the eyes of a un-informed intern (grins) the database is there for the taking, and while I haven't submitted my database information to our DBA yet, I hope they don't freak out when they see "varchar2 5000" on the list. Anyway, I appreciate your help thus far.	[reply]

Here are some of my collected links to Semantics. poqui's delicious Semantics The first one is an especially good explanation by Mr Berners-Lee himself.	[reply]
