Playing with the RDF DSL on the clerezza console. Accessing the
planet-rdf feed and exploring some nodes using the / and the /-
methods to traverse incoming and outgoing properties

The following works with the most recent launcher:

zz>:silent

zz>val planetRdf = $[TcManager].getGraph("http://planetrdf.com/index.rdf".uri)

zz>val rss = "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/".uri

zz>val preamble = new Preamble(planetRdf)

zz>import preamble._

zz>out.println("http://planetrdf.com/".uri/DC.date*)
2011-05-16T06:05:43.29Z

zz>out.println("http://planetrdf.com/".uri/(rss+'description)*)
It's triples all the way down

zz>out.println(((rss+'item)/-RDF.`type`).size)
28

zz>out.println((rss+'item)/-RDF.`type`/(rss+'title)*)
SPARQL 1.1 Query: negated property sets and the
algebra

zz>for (item <- (rss+'item)/-RDF.`type`) {out.println(item/(rss+'title)*)}

algebra
