The set-up instructions are at sesame-setup.html
It's generally a very quick process (you will spend the most time downloading and unzipping the files.)
Once you have the system set-up try running the exercises
MyBlog Python source
Cherrypy (tiny HTTP application server):
Version 3.1.2
To see the Common Tags on a viewEntry page you can use RDFa Hightlight bookmarklet
To create the "instant topic hub" uncomment the small code block in viewTag.html
The app also contains a tiny Linked Data Server. Try hitting http://127.0.0.1:9080/ns/<a blog entry identifier>. This LOD server handles the 303 information resource redirect, but does not engage in any content negotiation. We include it to show how easy it is to add a Linked Data interface to any application you write, if it is backed by a triple store.
For example, if your blog entry view URI was:
http://127.0.0.1:9080/viewEntry?id=http%3A%2F%2Fsemprog.com%2Fvocabs%2Fmyblog%23entry-2009-06-13T21%3A34%3A27.580708
Try:
http://127.0.0.1:9080/ns/http%3A%2F%2Fsemprog.com%2Fvocabs%2Fmyblog%23entry-2009-06-13T21%3A34%3A27.580708
Notice that you land on the URI:
http://127.0.0.1:9080/rdf/http%3A%2F%2Fsemprog.com%2Fvocabs%2Fmyblog%23entry-2009-06-13T21%3A34%3A27.580708
This is handled by the "default" method in myblog.py
