[MKSearch-dev] Week 13 round up

[Phil Shaw]

Week 12 was the Christmas week, so there were some cobwebs to dust 
down. Helping Adam prepare the quarterly report was a helpful stock 
take of where we've got to so far and helped get my brain in gear 
again.

Best regards,

Phil

Thursday
~~~~~~~~
Wrote up some notes for Adam for the second quarter report. Completed 
test cases for DublinCoreTerms and AbstractSchema left over from last 
year. Extended the renamed MetaTripleWriter content handler to 
generate blank nodes for meta elements with appropriate scheme 
attributes.

Friday
~~~~~~
Renamed and finalised the "triple" configuration for JSpider. 
Reviewed and made a range of formatting corrections, comment and 
other housekeeping to the Java source as a whole. Checked in a number 
of test scripts and classes that had not been committed to date.

The problem compiling Sesame with GCJ is a known bug with wildcard 
class import statements, so I have offered to submit my workarounds 
to the Sesame project in due course. Until then, Sesame will not 
compile with GCJ and I am branching out on Windows/Sun alone for the 
time being.

Researched and wrote a first draft MetaRDFStorePlugin with 
MetaRDFStoreWriter to create a Sesame in-memory RDF repository. 
Despite some problems getting the repository to serialize itself to 
an XML file, it's basically working and needs some tests to get to 
the bottom of the problems. The bNode output is not well formed, but 
it's not clear whether the cause is Sesame or my use of the API.
