I think a C header, RDF Schema, and bit a of example code is sufficient.
That's all the LADSPA 1.1 SDK is. If I was writing the example code, I'd
link to rasqal (http://librdf.org/rasqal/) which can query RDF/Turtle
files from disk efficiently.
Of course if people want to bundle up some tools and helper functions for
convienince then that's great, I dont think we want an SDK library though.

As long as it's part of the SDK (and the SDK doesn't have ridiculous

without a doubt the
right way to go. I meant I'm just not a huge fan of the particular
syntax of this Turtle stuff (as opposed to normal well-formed XML).
Mostly because it means we need special tools and who knows what
libraries to deal with it.
you cant usefully read RDF/XML with just an XML parser anyway. It's quite
a lot of work to transform from the XML tree to the RDF graph.
But yes, Turtle support is less widespeard than RDF/XML, but there are
still Free/Open parsers for every language I can think of (C(++), perl,
java, python, ruby, javascript, etc.) Speaking of SDK, the LADSPA2 SDK should include the
above, and a (strict
as possible) demolition equivalent - not to mention example plugins that
are actually correct :)
Yeah, that would help :-/
