Abstract
CARA is an RDF parser. It parses the RDF/XML and generates triples.
It follows the RDF Grammar given by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).
CARA was developed by the department of Mathematics / Computer Science at the
University of Osnabrück and was written in Perl.
This was part of the CASHMERE-int project
(http://www.iwi-iuk.org/cashmere/)
when it was still headed by apl. Prof. Dr. Roland Schwänzl.
It is funded by BMBF (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung)
CARA is written in PERL and would be useful for Perl application programmers.
