RDF for SQLite

RDF for SQLite is a container gem for getting the simplest RDF-based applications off the ground. It uses quite a few modular gems and fixes a little inconsistency between RDF.rb and ActiveModel. The gems are:

rdf
rdf/ntriples
data_objects
do_sqlite3
rdf/do
spira
active_model

This basically boils down to RDF.rb + ActiveModel + Spira + SQLite3 to create a pretty straightforward repository, serializer, parser, and ORM.

To get a simple model built, this will work:

class Person
  include RDFForSQLite
  
  # Choose a useful base URI
  base_uri "http://example.org/people"
  
  property :name,  :predicate => FOAF.name
  
  validate :presence_of_name
  
  protected
    def presence_of_name
      assert_set :name
    end
  
end

A full example using Sinatra looks like this:

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
