[VPM] Perl Mongers Meeting tomorrow

Victoria.pm will meet at its regular date and time at 7:00 pm tomorrow, 
Tuesday, May 16, at UVic in C113, David Strong Building (see 
http://www.uvic.ca/maps/index.html).

Michael Nachbaur will talk about RDF::Helper.  This is a companion talk 
to the one at VOSSOC the following week.  RDF is the Resource 
Description Framework, a W3C specification and a key interchange format 
of the Semantic Web.  We're on the bleeding edge here, folks :-)

RDF::Helper is a common abstraction API for the various RDF libraries
that are out there, similar to DBI/DBD.  There is currently only one
full RDF API for Perl (namely Redland, found at http://librdf.org/).
The goal of RDF::Helper is to unify and simplify the gory details of
dealing with an RDF datastore, providing syntactic sugar and
convenience functionality for the average Perl user.
