Just a quick announcement: Reddy 0.1.0 has been released. It’s a  
libxml-ruby-based RDF library for Ruby (currently just C-based Ruby,  
although we hope to have it running on top of other Ruby platforms  
soon). There has been a need for a native Ruby RDF library for some  
time, and in February I started work on one.

Reddy 0.1.0 has the following features:

- comprehensive and well-tested implementations of the basic classes  
used in RDF, developed to pass the W3C test suite.
- a fast parser for RDF/XML documents

Planned for future versions:

- Turtle/Notation3, TriX and RDF/JSON support
- possibly a multiple-approach navigation model similar to RAP’s (the  
RDF API for PHP) onto-centric approach
- SPARQL support
- RDFa parsing
- and much more
