Hello,

I’ve read a paper about an early prototype implementation of the deep  
integration ideas in Python supporting in-line class and properties  
declaration, instance creation and simple triple-based queries.

Is there something similar planned for Ruby? (I know about Obie  
Fernandez’ presentation about this topic and also the ‘Semitar’ and  
ActiveRDF project.)

Regards  
Ingo

I try to keep up with this as well, and as far as I know, ActiveRDF is  
your best bet at the moment. Semitar is, for all practical purposes, a  
dead project – I don’t think the code (at least the publicly  
available code) has been touched for several years now. And the last  
time I checked with Obie, he hadn’t been able to devote any more time  
to his ideas due to other obligations.
