Last week, Christopher Petrill wrote, from the conference:
Michel and Chris took a gargantuan dataset from Amos (the RPM database as RDF)
Does anyone have any further references to Amos?
It seems to be something that would be useful to some work I'm embarking on (indexing some RPM's, using Python and Zope technologies), but I can find no other mention of Amos.
Amos is the latest generation Python-bot (for other Python-bots, see python-list@python.org or comp.lang.python, eg. /F-bot and Tim-bot). He's fully implemented using a new XML version of DTML and Jim Fulton's highly experimental ZODB-4 which has the facility to use fuzzy logic in object lookups. This means that sometimes Amos-bot can send messages to this mailing list which seem completely non-sensical. He covers this fuzziness by referring to a thing he calls 'Zope Zen', implying only those who have 'Zope Zen' (perhaps this is the DC-internal code name for ZODB-4?) can understand him. Hope this clears things up. Richard
