SLV2 is now based on two new libraries: Serd (RDF

store). Both are roughly 2 thousand lines of C, solid and thoroughly

dependencies, Sord depends only on Glib (for the time being, possibly
not in the future).
Can you point me at the API or code? I couldn't see it in a quick
browse on your SVN server.
I have a library (Dataquay,
http://code.breakfastquay.com/projects/dataquay -- preparing a 1.0
release of it at the moment, so if anyone wants to try it, go for the
repository rather than the old releases) which provides a Qt4 wrapper
for librdf and an object-RDF mapper.
It's intended for applications whose developers like the idea of RDF
as an abstract data model and Turtle as a syntax, but are not
particularly interested in being scalable datastores or engaging in
the linked data world.
For my purposes, Dataquay using librdf is fine -- I can configure it
so that bloat is not an issue (and hey! I'm using Qt already) and some
optional extras are welcome. But I can see the appeal of a more
limited, lightweight, or at least less configuration-dependent
back-end.
I've considered doing LV2 as a simple example case for Dataquay, but
the thought of engaging in more flamewars about LV2 and GUIs is really
what has put me off so far. In other words, I like the cut of your
jib here.
