Dear all, I'd like to point out the hackathon I'm organizing next week in London, where a group of Perl hackers will come together to create code to work with RDF with Perl: http://www.perlrdf.org/workshops/london-hackathon-2011.html
One can use Virtuoso already through three methods, either through RDF::Query::Client, RDF::Trine::Store::SPARQL or through Redland. However, I think it would be very interesting to have an implementation using the ODBC driver and making Virtuoso a native RDF::Trine::Store. In fact, I started working on a module to do this, there's a branch on Github: https://github.com/kjetilk/perlrdf/tree/feature-virtuoso but it took too much time and got me tangled into stuff where I couldn't tell if I was using internals that I shouldn't be using, so I gave up. It would be interesting if someone who know Virtuoso internals well could join us. One wouldn't need to be well-versed in Perl as long as one would be able to make a substantial contribution to writing this module.
