[Mulgara-general] mulgara eval

[Gregg Reynolds]

Hi folks,

My RDF project using mulgara suffered a significant delay.  Now I'm trying
to get back into it, so I did a bit of googling, and I see some significant
competitors have been release and/or open sourced.

On the one hand, we are starting to see lots of stuff like couchdb and
Google datastore.  Maybe not directly competitors with RDF stores, for many
purposes they do just as well.

On the other hand, it looks (to somebody who doesn't look very often) like
the RDF datastore space is getting more crowded (which I take as a Good
Thing).    It's a bit of a mess at the moment; e.g. it isn't clear which
keywords one should use to find RDF databases in a google search, which I
take as a sign that nobody entirely understands what these critters are.  In
any case, I'm satisfied that mulgara works for what I need, but I would
wonder if anybody in the mulgara world has had time to look at any of the
newer offerings.  In particular, the open version of Virtuoso, and I'm
particularly intrigued by Parliament.  Any comparisons?

Thanks,

Gregg
