Drupal has a variety of tools for working with RDF. These are best supported in Drupal 7, but there are also some tools for Drupal 6, the version that your school — except for the library — uses for their website.

Thanks,

One of the elements of the new page that I want to improve upon is providing live or near live information on technology availability (10 of 12 laptops available, etc.). That data resides on my ILS server and I thought it might be a good time to upgrade the bubble gum and duct tape solution I now have to creating a real linked data service that would provide that availability information to the web server.

Does such a resource exist? Any advice on where to start?
