Bug#508048: RFP: virtuoso-opensource -- OpenLink Virtuoso Open-Source Edition

[Olivier Berger <olivier.berger@it-sudparis.eu>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

It would be interesting to have OpenLink Virtuoso's OpenSource version available in Debian

Borrowed from http://virtuoso.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/virtuoso/virtuoso-opensource/debian/control :

* Package name    : virtuoso-opensource
  Upstream Author : OpenLink Virtuoso Maintainer <vos.admin@openlinksw.com>
* URL             : http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/
* License         : GPL
  Description     : OpenLink Virtuoso Open-Source Edition

Virtuoso is a high-performance object-relational SQL database. As a
database, it provides transactions, a smart SQL compiler, powerful
stored-procedure language with optional Java and .Net server-side
hosting, hot backup, SQL-99 support and more. It has all major
data-access interfaces, such as ODBC, JDBC, ADO .Net and OLE/DB.

OpenLink Virtuoso supports SPARQL embedded into SQL for querying RDF
data stored in Virtuoso's database. SPARQL benefits from low-level
support in the engine itself, such as SPARQL-aware type-casting rules
and a dedicated IRI data type. 


There seem to have been several efforts at packaging it elsewhere, but the upstream debian/ subdir may be the best place to start with...

Thanks in advance.
