A follow-on to the Cheshire and Cheshire II projects, Cheshire 3, is also concerned with XML, SRW/U, OAI and associated protocols. It has become an open source project hosted at SourceForge.
"Cheshire3 is a fast XML search engine, written in Python for extensability and using C libraries for speed. It is feature rich, including support for XML namespaces, unicode, a distributable object oriented model and all the features expected of a digital library system. Standards are foremost, including SRW/U and CQL, as well as Z39.50 and OAI. It is highly modular and configurable, enabling very specific needs to be addressed with a minimum of effort. The API is stable and fully documented, allowing easy third party development of components."
While it appears to be an useful system with a long track record of useful deployment, it is not clear at this stage what role Cheshire might play in retrieval based on using RDF data. This is an area to be investigated.
