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

Heh? ZODB4? already? And ZODB3 in Zope 2 (isn't released as stable yet...) Tom. -------

Um, I think you're looking for Rufus, not Amos. http://rufus.w3.org/ Amos just hacked together an RDF parser to turn Rufus into something ZTables can read. If you want, I'll send you my RDF parsing code. It's not ready for prime time, but it worked OK for me. -Amos P.S. Yes, I could in fact be useful for some work you are embarking on ;-)

Hmm, if I understand you correctly, you're talking about an offline RDF parser, correct? What would it take to turn it into a product that could regularly poll an online RDF source and create (or update)Zope objects of some sort? For example to always have a recent copy of a particular sub-section of www.dmoz.org, similar to what slashdot.py accomplishes, but a bit more sophisticated. Cheers, Michael Bernstein.
