version 0.5 - Thu Aug 19 20:08:14 CEST 2004
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	A brand new indexing model for RDF data has been developed in this release - such a indexing model allows to store
        quite efficienty "pedantic" RDF descriptions by leveraging on compression of the index of triples using a custom RLE+VLE
	compression algorithm written in C and XS.  It is under investigation the real need to have a custom compression algorithm 
	for RDFStore instead of using one in the public domain; some tests showed that general purpose algorithms like LZO or LZF 
	perfom worse in the specific case of RDFStore where the sparse matrix contains well-known patterns.

	This version start to support the RDF Data Query language (RDQL/Squish) via a proper DBD::RDFStore DBI driver 
	(see http://www.hpl.hp.co.uk/people/afs/RDQL/ and http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/rdfquery/) The software support tha basic 
	query language with some extensions to run free-text queries over literals (property values). See also the RDF Query and Rules
	page at http://www.w3.org/2003/03/rdfqr-tests/

	RDFStore::Model now support basic single statement-grouping (i.e. "context") per statement that allow to run storage 
	operations giving a kind of context to them e.g. a spatial or temporal context or just the source URI; all basic model 
	method have been updated to support that. This stuff is really much close to the on going work of RDF Core WG and other 
	proposals about adding context information to individual triples. This software part is just meant to be a useful and practical
	artifact and does not want or pretend any of the complex issues being discussed in the RDF community.

	The RDFStore::Parser::OpenHealth parser has been removed from the distribution

	Being that the new storage model does not require Data::MagicTie anymore, the module is being distributed separatly (not on CPAN even ;)

	Some useless modules has been removed from the distribution and some has been renamed; in general the basic storage 
	functionalities are provided through the RDFStore module, while the Stanford API specific code is available in the RDFStore::* modules. 
	The SiRPAC RDF parser is still being distributed with the main storage sources but they will be also distributed separately 
	in the future (XML::SAX::RDF::Filter or something)

	UTF-8 (Unicode) support has been natively introduced into this release - custom C/XS code has been written to allow convertion
        from/to utf8 to other char encodings - the perl use can also use the RDFStore::Util::UTF8(3) to get general string utility functions
	which work on UTF8/Unicode.

	Things in CVS now also into the sourceoforge RDFStore CVS repository. In addition the system should compile fine on most of the 
	UNIX systems out there (including the dbms/ tcp/ip deamon)

	Backend now fully general - software ships with BerkeleyDB, DBMS and caching (in-memory) backends

	Basic caching layer added which should speed up all the DB and I/O operations

	The only Perl package namespace "invaded" is the Data one with the Data::MagicTie modules.

	In addition the documentation has been updated and the API modified accordingly to the latest 
	changes in the Stanford Java API 2000-12-05 distribution. 
	(see http://www-db.stanford.edu/~melnik/rdf/rdf-api-2000-12-05.zip)

	Almost all modules have been fixed when checking references/pointers (defined and ref() )

	RDF::Store::FindIndex
		- fixed bugs when checking references/pointers (defined and ref() )

	XML::Parser::PenRDF
		- fixed bug in expandAttributes() when expand rdf:value
            	- Modified addOrder() expandAttributes() accordingly to rdf-api-2000-11-13
		- fixed bug in parse() parse_start() to set the Source right
		- fixed bug in RDFXML_StartElementHandler() when parseLiteral process attributes also
		- fixed bug in processTypedNode() to manage new attlist way
		- fixed bug in processPredicate() to manage new attlist way
		- fixed bugs due to the modifications due rdf-api-2000-10-30. Now $n->{tag} is either
		  $n->name() or $n->localName(); code got more clear also
		- fixed addTriple() and reify() - more checking and modified to manage right $subject

	XML::Parser::PenRDF::RDFStore
		- fixed bug in Assert() checking if $st is a ref and valid RDF::Statement

	RDF::Vocabulary::RDFS
		- changed namespace to http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#

	RDF::Store::Model
		- fixed bug in find(). Check the type of $t before using methods on it
		- added toStrawmanRDF() to serialise the model in strawman RDF for 
		  XML::Parser::PenRDFStrawman
		- fixed bug in create()
		- modified updateDigest() method accordingly to rdf-api-2000-11-13

		- changed checking to RDF::SetModel type
		- modified toString()
		- fixed miss-spell in validate()

	Data::MagicTie::Client
		- fixed bug in FIRSTKEY(). Do not call keys and each anymore.

version 0.2 - Mon Nov 13 14:56:46 CET 2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	This version updates the whole Perl modules set accordingly to the latest chnages in the Stanford 
	Java API 2000-10-30 distribution. (see http://WWW-DB.Stanford.EDU/~melnik/rdf/rdf-api-2000-10-30.zip)

	XML::Parser::PenRDF/XML::Parser::PenRDFStrawman
		- fixed bug in parsefile() to read URL-less filenames
		  (version0.1 was working only with 'file:' URL prefix)
		- fixed a lot of bugs/inconsistences in new(), parse(), setSource(), parsestring()
		  processXML() in the fetchSchema part, makeAbsolute()
		- added parse_start a la XML::parser for no-blocking stream
		  parsing using XML::Parser::ExpatNB
		- pod documentation updated
		- does not use URI::file anymore
		- Modified createResource(), XML::Parser::PenRDF::Element and
		  XML::Parser::PenRDF::DataElement accordingly to rdf-api-2000-10-30
		- General bug fixing

	XML::Parser::PenRDF::RDFStore
		- Init() now setSourceURI() for the model
		- now the result set is a SetModel

	RDF::Resource, RDF::NodeFactory, RDF::Store::Literal, RDF::Store::NodeFactory,
	RDF::Store::RDFNode,RDF::Store::Resource,RDF::Store::Statement
		- Modified accordingly to rdf-api-2000-10-30

	RDF::Store::Model
		- fixed bug in new() to check if triples is HASH ref when passed by user
		- fixed bug in find() do avoid to  return instances of SetModel (see SchemaModel.pm also)
		  Now result sets are put in an object(model) of the the same type - see find()
		- modified add() remove() clone() duplicate() and added toString() makePrivate()
		  getNamespace() getLocalName() methods accordingly to rdf-api-2000-10-30
		- modifed new(), duplicate(), clone() and find() to support cloned models
		- modified find() to manage normal Models and indexed Models differently
		- added optional indirect indexing to find() i.e. the FindIndex 
		  stores just digested keys and not the full BLOB; fetch from an 
		  index then require an additional look up in triples

	RDF::Vocabulary::Generator
		- added more magic keywords to 'reservedWords' list (my, local)
		- Modified createResource() accordingly to rdf-api-2000-10-30

	RDF::NodeFactory
		- pass @_ array to new methods
	
	Data::MagicTie
		- fixed warning messages

	RDF::Store::SetModel
		- fixed bug in intersect()
		- now all methods return the modified model

	RDF::Store::FindIndex
		- fixed miss-spelling bug in remove()
		- added indirect indexing support to be de-referenced by the caller 
		  Model object.

		- fixed bugs in rdf.pl and rdfquery.pl
		- rdfquery.pl uses SetModel to unite (||), intersect (&&), subtract(!),
