Musings on books, the near future, the process of writing, the Semantic Web, the origins of agriculture, evolutionary meme theories, the venture capital process and the occasional political rant; not necessarily in that order.

Kowari v1.1 Pre-release Feature Peek
Kowari version 1.1 is finally close to completion. We expect a code freeze in October, with the release following shortly thereafter. I have posted a quick overview at Sourceforge.
This is good news, David. I like Kowari a lot. It's a big job, and I'm glad y'all are sticking with it.
I hope that jettisoning Jena makes Kowari smaller and tighter. My main issue with Kowari 1.0 was that it was a bit...unwieldy, and not quite all the examples worked perfectly out of the box. Having fewer examples that all work, every time, would be a confidence builder.
The Krule RDFS/OWL support sounds great! I wonder: did you consider and reject Mindswap's Pellet (cuz it doesn't do RDFS or cuz it's too slow?) I guess maybe that's a question for Paul...
Congratulations on the Northrop sale, too. I just saw that.
