Re: is the OWL/RDF support available at all? SQL/RDB?

The OWL/RDF support hasn't been released yet.  I recently extended an initial
version created by Tom Russ and used that fairly extensively in an application
that required semantic web support.  The code is in fairly good shape but
needs some refactoring, cleanup and extension before it can be released.  As
always, this last step takes more time than one would hope.  If you want to
experiment with that drop me a line and we can iterate on whether what we have
would support your needs and how to get that to you and eventually the larger
community.

With respect to SQL support, the current 4.0 beta version has all the
PowerLoom support necessary to access a MySQL or Oracle database via JDBC.
All you need is to get a JDBC driver library, copy it into the native/java/lib
directory and follow the instructions in this forum post:
