I wrote a little while back about the Yeti programming language and the most pleasant time I was having with it, learning and re-learning some functional programming idioms. One of the first things I set about writing—because I could think of a use for it and it seemed like a nice thing to make—was a… Continue reading Yertle: an RDF/Turtle library in Yeti

Small conclusions about APIs and testing
In my previous post I explained a small but significant API change for v0.9 of the Dataquay library. Although there was nothing very deep about this change or its causes, I found it interesting partly because I had used a partly test-driven process to evolve the original API and I felt there may be a… Continue reading Small conclusions about APIs and testing
Details of the Dataquay v0.9 API changes
Dataquay hasn't seen a great deal of use yet. I've used it in a handful of personal projects that follow the same sort of model as the application it was first designed for, and that's all. But I've recently started to adapt it to a couple of programs whose RDF usage follows more traditional Linked… Continue reading Details of the Dataquay v0.9 API changes
Dataquay
Dataquay is my C++ library for RDF datastore management using the Qt toolkit. It's a library for people who happen to be writing C++ applications using Qt and who are interested in managing data that fit well into a subject-predicate-object graph model (as in the Linked Data paradigm, for example). It uses Qt classes and… Continue reading Dataquay

I remember a lot of excitement about it at the time, from managers who imagined it would solve all their data portability problems. I was conscious of some of this enthusiasm before I really looked at the format. When I did, I… Continue reading Spare us humans from XML
