Mark Watson's opinions on Java, Ruby, Lisp, AI, and the Semantic Web

Actually, this is specific to ActiveRecord classes: create a virtual RDF graph starting with an ActiveRecord class and all associated classes. I use a Java project D2R that provides a SPARQL endpoint service to a relational database. I had thought of wrapping D2R for use in JRuby, but I would rather have something that is pure Ruby and as light weight as possible. The implementation of D2R is fairly complex but a Ruby/ActiveRecord implementation should be much simpler (wishful thinking!)

I'll release it under an open source (free software) license when I have something worth sharing.
