Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] Status of LinqtoRdf

[Rob V. <rv...@do...>]

Hi Koos

The LinqToRdf port was an experiment I did 2.5 years ago and decided that I
didn't have the bandwidth to pursue it properly, partly because I had too
many other things on the project to work and partly because of various work
and personal commitments.  My bandwidth to work on dotNetRDF since has
unfortunately only reduced not increased and my primary focuses these days
are bug fixes, stability/performance enhancements and query engine
enhancements.

There are a couple of other projects by external people that have come along
since that aim to offer similar things.  BrightstarDB [1] is a commercial
product built as a EF style layer over a custom triple store and RomanticWeb
[2] which is an open source project built by one of our newer developers
(Tom Pluskiewicz).

Personally I don't have any time to work on this anytime in the near future
so you would likely be better off talking to one of the people/projects I've
highlighted here to see if they can fulfill your needs and whether you can
contribute towards those projects if necessary.

Regards,

Rob
