For the last few weeks I've been playing with the third iteration of a web gallery which uses RDF at it's core. The first two iterations were dynamic and generally sucked as I was learning Redland and Twisted at the same time, so I relaxed the requirements a little and the third iteration is an offline tool.

Currently called RAWK, but possibly to be renamed to Tate, it scans a directory of images, extracting metadata from anything available. stat calls, filenames, thumbnail files, summary files and RDF fragments are all slurped into a data structure which is then dumped out as RSS 1.0, featuring a variety of schemas. This is then transformed with Kid into a HTML file, which is uploaded.

The code is a little crufty in places at the moment so I'm not letting anyone else see it yet, but the resulting HTML (and RSS) is already online, specifically a BBQ and our wedding.
