You did not make very user-friendly pages, did you? They are full of acronyms nobody understands.
Sorry about this. This 1st version is for those who have read through the following specifications or are ready to read them through before using SiRPAC.
So what is SiRPAC really for?
It is a sample implementation of an RDF parser which does a compilation process from XML encoding syntax to the triples of the underlying data model.
What is the level of support available for SiRPAC?
SiRPAC was implemented at the World Wide Web Consortium within the W3C-LA project. SiRPAC has been placed into the public CVS base of W3C since release V1.11 where developers are free to pick up the source code and introduce new updates.
The command line interface looks nice but can I use SiRPAC embedded in my own Java applications/applets?
Yes you can. There are several demo programs in the examples directory (e.g. ParseAndSerialize and SiRPACServlet).
What can I do with the triples?
For example, you can feed it into your favorite logic programming environment to run queries with them.
Are there any user-friendly applications of SiRPAC?
Yes, there is an interactive compilation service with an additional Java applet that allows one to browse through the RDF data model.
Can I do the round trip to the other direction i.e. from triples to RDF/XML encoding?
Yes. See the ParseAndSerialize demo program in the examples directory.
