Hi Eric, you seem to have missed the Catmandu tutorial at SWIB13. Luckily there is a basic tutorial and a demo online: http://librecat.org/ The demo happens to be about transforming MARC to RDF using the Catmandu Perl framework. It gives you full flexibility by separating the importer from the exporter and providing a domain specific language for “fixing” the data in between. Catmandu also has easy to use wrappers for popular search engines and databases (both SQL and NoSQL), making it a complete ETL (extract, transform, load) toolkit. Disclosure: I am a Catmandu contributor. It's free and open source software.
