This gem uses the GitHub API to map users and repositories to DOAP and FOAF. It is an example project using Ruby RDF tools to reflect Active Record objects to RDF, either as embedded HTML+RDFa, or using many of other available RDF serializers included in the application.
The application uses the Okonski GitHub API Client gem to access the GitHub JSON API and caches data in a local SQLite3 database using Active Record. This gem acts as a shim on top of those classes to provide RDF.rb interfaces and to create an HTML+RDFa representation. For this we use the FOAF and DOAP RDF vocabularies. It also provides alternative RDF representations of Users and Projects using HTTP content negotiation and/or by appending the appropriate file extension to a request.
