Re: [Rdfapi-php-interest] Integration of the RAP database schema in our wiki engine (WikiNi)

[Gunnar A. G. <ggr...@cs...>]

The model table (paradigm?) allows you to have seperate collections of=20
triples. For instance, if you had multiple wikis on the same server, or=20
if different plugins wanted separate "storage" areas. You can think of=20
it as another layer of division below mysql (or whatever) databases=20
(mysql, test, etc).

I've not written any of the RAP Db stuff, but I doubt it will work=20
without the models/namespace table.

Could you not keep the tables, and if you really have no use for models=20
just make sure all your triples are in the same model? You migth find=20
that models are very helpful when you come to designing/implementing=20
stuff with this.

AND if you keep them you get the added bonus of being able to export all=20
your data as RDF! :)

There is a database admin tool included with the RAP download, this can=20
be used to inspect/edit/export/import etc.

Have fun!
