Raptor RDF Parser Toolkit - To Do List

Bugs and Features

Add some way to trigger once-only www library shutdown on raptor_finish() - by default? since higher level apps may not even know or care.
XML attribute value normalization doesn't happen in libxml.
Unicode character normalization NFC checks not implemented (CONFORMANCE)
XML (Exclusive) Canonicalization for XML Literals not implemented (CONFORMANCE)
Record the xml parser used and make available from API (FEATURE)
Try to fix usage like rdf:about="http://example.org/foo " with a trailing space? Warn, fix and continue? In lax/default mode?
Scanning (rapper --scan) for rdf:RDF in embedded XML does not work (BUG)
Add a N3 parser (FEATURE)
Add an XSLT 'parser' based on libxslt (FEATURE)
Provide a perl interface (FEATURE)
Add namespace/prefix declaration user level callback (FEATURE)
Other non-resource, literal, (daml:)collection parseType support (FEATURE)
Add a PNG parser, like pngmeta and parse the embedded RDF/XML into triples (FEATURE)

Done

The most recent changes are at the top, with the first release version where appropriate.

Docs updated for 0.9.7 to 0.9.10 API changes in the libraptor.3 manual page
Escape XML attribute values in parseType literal content generation (0.9.10)
Passing NULL to raptor_start_parse base URI for rdfxml parser crashed it. Now the RDF/XML parser fails. (0.9.9)
rdf:parseType="Literal" content with &, <, > and unicode characters did not get escaped in the encoded string into entities/character entities. (0.9.9)
XML Namespaces declared with a prefix and no namespace name (URI) were accepted - this is illegal (0.9.8)
Empty files made rdf/xml parser crash with libxml2 and expat; now both return failure since an empty doc is not allowed (0.9.8)
rdf:bagID handling added (0.9.7)
Can now configure on system which has expat alone using ./configure --with-xml-parser=expat (0.9.7)
Fix compiling libxml 2.3.5 and nearby versions failing on FreeBSD (which is 20 months old) caused by a change to the xmlSAXHandler structure (0.9.7)
file: URIs were not correctly handled (0.9.6)
Resilience to XML parser errors, RDF/XML grammar errors (0.9.6)
Manual pages (0.9.6)
Made CDATA section work with libxml (0.9.6)
daml:collection is generating some wrong triples (BUG) (0.9.6)
Compiling on OSX fails on most systems since it requires libtool 1.4.2 or CVS version which requires automake 2.50 and a newer version of autoconf. This needs significant changes to the autoconfigure system. See Fink porting libtool to OSX. The fix for now - for the packaged sources only, not CVS - is to use a patched libtool 1.4.2 (from Debian) that can generate a libtool that knows OSX. (0.9.6)
URI resolving to a base URI now working (0.9.5)
Handle <prop:Elt rdf:ID="id" rdf:resource="http://example.org/obj"/> (RDF Core WG syntax change) (0.9.5)
Add xml:base support - RDF Core WG syntax change (0.9.4)
Perform xml:lang processing and pass to application (0.9.4)
parseType literal broken (0.9.4)
Tracking of user IDs/generated IDs available to user code (0.9.3)
daml:collection parseType support (0.9.3)
rdf:li used as a propertyElt does not work (0.9.3)
parseType literal support complete (0.9.3)
Fixed many crashes (0.9.3)

No need to do list

After decisions from the RDF Core WG as recorded in the attention developers area of the RDF Issue Tracking document.

aboutEach support - removed from syntax
aboutEachPrefix support - removed from syntax
Special container support - not special anymore, just typed nodes
