As there is growing demand for SCAN update, I have published the preview (“beta”) of 1.4 release which is expected on SourceForge within few weeks.
Download SCAN-Desktop 1.4-beta (Windows installer)
Note that 1.4 package includes MS-Office, OpenOffice and PDF document plugins by default (no need to install them separately) to provide an out-of-the-box solution for the most of users.
The second edition of RDFBeans Java-to-RDF databinding framework is finally out. In 2.0 version the library underwent major refactoring to clean and enhance the API and provide new databinding techniques.

Well my dear readers, Cyberborean Chronicles is moved to standalone hosting here at http://blog.cyberborean.org. The old version at wordpress.com is still available for historical purposes and all archives (posts and comments) are imported into new version. Comments in old version are turned off; please submit your comments here.
RSS of Cyberborean Chronicles now is http://blog.cyberborean.org/feed.
SCAN plugin for adding web-locations is released.
If you haven’t noticed already, there was no simple way to just enter a web URL in SCAN and get a document in the repository. One had to add web documents via del.icio.us or fetch them from RSS. Now it is fixed – with Web plugin you can add web-pages with their URL’s and more – you can tell the plugin to follow hyperlinks and crawl web-pages recursively, thus adding whole web-sites to SCAN document repository.
To install new plugin, click on “Check for updates” button in Plugins manager window (“Tools?Manage plugins”). Web plugin will appear in “Location type plugins” section.
SCAN Version 1.3.1 is released. The release focus is to fix a number of bugs found in 1.3 version (though some of them are really old).
I finally got on Twitter:
