Dear all,

My name is Alvaro del Castillo and I am coordinating the QualiPSo
(http://qualipso.org) A4 activity
(http://www.qualipso.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=31) in URJC GSyC/LibreSoft team (http://libresoft.es).

Right now we are in the specification phase of a system that will gather
information from FLOSS projects information sources (Source code,
Defects and Issues, Mailing list, Documentation ...) and it will create
a semantic database for this contents. The final goal is to design a
system that will let the FLOSS project developer/user to search
semantically in all FLOSS project information sources.

We have detected over 20 different information sources and we have
created ontologies for most of them. Now we need to gather information
from a selected group of this 20 sources. This gathered information will
be converted to a semantic format (RDF probably) using the ontologies
defined in the project.

Researching posible solutions we have found SWAML project that it is
very close to the idea we had for mailing list data sources. We have
started to play a bit with the project using swaml converter from mbox
to RDF triples using the sioc ontology. We have no problems until now
with our quick tests. But trying to use Buxon it seems there is a
problem with RDFlib (2.4.0-2ubuntu1) in the parsing of the RDF sioc
contents:

swaml-0.0.5/classes/cache.py
def __listPosts(self): 
... 
posts  = sparqlGr.query(select, where)

throws a "parsing exception: not all arguments converted during string
formatting" and the TreeView in buxon isn't filled. It fails with the
demo URL "http://swaml.berlios.de/demo/index.rdf" and also with our own
tests.

Do you know if there are some problems with the actual version of buxon
and this version of RDFlib?

At the end we need to integrate in our Semantic Framework (RDF store,
Query engine, reasoner and inference server) all the developments for
the different information sources so we can integrate all of them in a
semantic way.

We plan to have SWAML project as a prototype of a possible way to follow
in implementing the information source data to RDF store path. 

Congratulations for the project!
