dewey-crawler
simplistic crawler and serializer for linked data at dewey.info
dewey-crawler is a simplistic, single threaded, possibly daft, crawler for Dewey Decimal Classification Summaries at http://dewey.info from the folks at OCLC. The idea is to be able to pull down the summaries to make it easier to reference the resources in your linked data application.
More information about the data at http://dewey.info can be found at:
http://www.worldcat.org/devnet/wiki/DeweyInfoTechOverview
After a crawl you'll have a rdflib berkelydb triple store on disk. You can then run dump.py to generate dewey.rdf, dewey.ttl and dewey.json.
Usage: ./crawl.py ./dump.py
Dependencies: rdflib 3.0
