SquirrelRDF Question
Hello list,
I have a general question relating to the above. I am interested in experimenting with using SquirrelRDF but wish to do some preliminary research in an attempt to learn about real life/production use cases for using the RDF data retrieved as a result of using SquirrelRDF to query a RDBMS. Currently I have a requirement to crawl the web for dynamic data which is sent directly to an index, users can then run queries on this data. If I can justify a use case for SquirrelRDF then I will experiment with storing crawl data in MySQL or something similar. This would enable to keep my existing infrastructure running by use of a simple data import from MySQL to the index but will also enable me to utilise the RDF data retrieved by SquirrelRDF.
I know that this might sound trivial but I am researching within the area of design and construction and IT, so at some point I would be looking to use the RDF data within some sort of application which would solve a problem specific to this domain.
I hope I have explained my situation and would greatly appreciate if someone could shine light on this for me.
Thank you Lewis

Hi Damian,
Thank you for your comments. The D2R material looks chunky enough to get me started.
Thanks Lewis

I wrote SquirrelRDF, but haven't worked on it for a long time. You might
want to look at D2R, which is very similar. [1]

I don't think it sounds trivial at all. Don't underestimate the value of
working existing infrastructure :-)
If you code to SPARQL (especially over http) you'll be able to switch in
a variety of native RDF stores in future, should you wish to.
