Library Cataloging
I keep looking for a good tool, one that will make working with the Resource Description Framework easier. (I'm also looking for one for topic maps) Something like MARC Magician or dc.dot would be nice. RDFLib Python libraries is something that deserves a look.

The latest version of pymarc has the ability to change records from MARC-8 encoding to UNICODE, UTF-8. A task that most of our catalogs will have to go through in the next few years, I guess. Nice to have a tool for when that day arrives.The pymarc module...

RDFLib Python Libraries
I keep looking for a good tool, one that will make working with the Resource Description Framework easier. (I'm also looking for one for topic maps) Something like MARC Magician or dc.dot would be nice. RDFLib Python libraries is something that deserves a look.
The first time I tried the RDFLib Python libraries, the lightbulb finally flashed on. RDFLib lets you generate, store, and query RDF triples without requiring you to ever deal directly with the dreaded RDF/XML syntax. And you can do all this with a minimal knowledge of Python.Seem on Lars Trieloff's Weblog on Software Documentation.
