        Oort
        ========================================================================
        
        A WSGI_-enabled toolkit for creating RDF-driven web apps.
        
        The purpose of this toolkit is to make it easy to create web views of
        RDF Graphs by using some declarative python programming.
        
        Oort Uses RDFLib_, Paste_ and currently Kid_ for the heaving lifting. Initial
        support for `Template Plugins`_ alá Buffet and TurboGears is included (this
        should remove the Kid dependency).

        Overview
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        These are the main packages:
        
        ``oort.sitebase``
        Contains classes used for declarative definitions of *displays*, used for
        matching resources and rendering a particular output (html, json etc.). By
        defining *aspects*, the type (or super-type) of a selected resource is
        mapped to a particular RdfQuery and an associated template.
        
        One or more displays are put in the context of a *resource viewer*, which
        becomes a WSGI application ready to mount in your WSGI environment.
        
        ``oort.rdfview``
        Contains classes and functions used for defining RDF queries and selectors,
        i.e. declarations used to pick properties and associated sub-queries from a
        chosen resource (similar to how many ORM-toolkits work).
        
        Why?
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Because RDF is a formidable technology that could revolutionize the way
        information is treated and shared. Python and WSGI are exemplary technologies
        to use when building applications dealing with such data.
        
        Why *Oort*?
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        * The Oort Cloud is a fascinating, alien phenomenon..
        * Imagine all the BNodes in that cloud just waiting for an URI on the Web..
        * OORT - "Output Of RDF through Templating"..
