This originated entirely from practical concerns. I came up with the set of AWK aliases referred to in the blog post when working with some large N-Triples datasets on remote servers that had no RDF tooling installed nor available. AWK, thankfully, is installed everywhere.
Had I had an opportunity to use better tooling, Java tooling would still not have been my first choice. Dave Beckett's excellent `rapper` and `roqet` command-line utilities (http://librdf.org/raptor/ http://librdf.org/raptor/) are generally far simpler to install and use.
- keefe 17y agoDave Beckett certainly does good work... I guess I was just curious what would lead to this scenario and what you're wanting to do with the datasets in such a raw format? You can also install allegrograph, which is written in lisp so that should make this crowd happy, it's free up to 50M triples or something. Oracle 11g also works, but we had to have custom patches to get decent RDF performance. It was not meant as a criticism, it just seemed like a lot of work vs just pulling into some triple store. Sesame is another good choice...
