My previous post talked about how to install 4store as a triplestore, and use the Ruby library RDF.rb in order to process RDF extracted from that store. This was a response to Richard Pope’s Linked Data/RDF/SPARQL Documentation Challenge which asks for documentation of how to install a triplestore, load data into it, retrieve it using SPARQL and access the results as native structures using Ruby, Python or PHP.

I quite enjoyed writing the last one, so I thought I’d try again. As before, I am on Mac OS X, but this time I’m going to use Python, which I have not programmed in before. I like a challenge. You might not like the results!
