RDF Parser Updated

I’ve made a couple of changes to the Javascript RDF-Parser, this was to include Opera and Safari support, based on a patch provided Gorm H Eriksen via Chaals. And to fix a couple of bugs found by Ian Dickinson related to xmlbase and some leaking of global variables.

At the same time I’ve updated the very limited documentation and included the owl:sameAs code I wrote some time ago which never made it into a “released” version, also the rdf:datatype and xml:lang support hadn’t previously been mentioned, so that’s documented too now.

If anyone is using it, good luck, and please let me know of bugs, I’ll gladly fix them!

    Interesting. I think I subconciously based part of Swapi’s Graph query api on that. Since JavaScript supports first class functions, why don’t you add a listener-like API. That is:

    visitor = myData.visit(trip,subj,pred,obj,function(trip) { … });
    for(visitor.start(); visitor.isSearching(); visitor.search()) {};
    visitor.close();

    Sesame supports something like that. Another possibility is a matching function like:

    myData.match(trip, function(subj, pred, obj) { … return false; });

    Jena supports matching like that.
