The idea of the semantic web, embodied by Linked Data, is that of
labeling relations between data using the Web Ontology Language (OWL)
and post the data online using an XML based protocol (RDF). Now you
can do it in web2py by simply labeling fields and tables in the
Database Abstraction Layer (DAL) with .rdf={...} and installing this
plugin. The plugin exposes a web service that publishes your database
as Linked Data (only tables labeled with rdf). This system works with
new and with most legacy databases. It transparently supports SQLite,
MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle, FireBird, Informix, DB2, Ingres, and
the Google App Engine.
If you are interested in this area, please let us know. We could use
some feedback.
