Hi Rich, what is the goal of your tuple encoding? Are you trying to write to a format that is easy to import into Neo4j or exporting to other systems?
Also, do you need an intermediate format? Maybe you could use the Python bindings to directly import stuff from other systems from the command line? Otherwise, there are a couple of RDF-fluent people around here that probably could advise on the best format for RDF-based tuples. Otherwise, raw import could be done e.g. with GraphML or other simpler formats. Using the batch inserter, you probably could easily write some wrapper for any format, I have something like that in the SQLImporter - anyone who has other custom formats imported? /peter GTalk: neubauer.peter Skype peter.neubauer Phone +46 704 106975 LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/in/neubauer Twitter http://twitter.com/peterneubauer http://www.neo4j.org - New Energy for Data - The Graph Database. http://www.ops4j.org - New Energy for OSS Communities - Open Participation Software. http://www.linkedprocess.org - Distributed computing on LinkedData scale On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 8:35 AM, Rich Morin<[email protected]> wrote: > I'm getting ready to write some scripts to glean relationship > information from some disparate sources (eg, RubyGems metadata > and output from MetricFu and YARD processing runs).
