[Rails] Parsing RDF coming from a URL

[Werner Ramaekers]

Hello,

i'm writing an application that needs geocoding information for locations
outside of the US.
I'm using the brainoff.com geocoding service

mappoint = Net::HTTP.new('brainoff.com', 80)
response = mappoint.get('/geocoder/rest/?city=Gent,BE')
logger.debug response.body

and the body of the response is in the following form :

<rdf:RDF xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#" xmlns:rdf="
http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<geo:Point>
<geo:long>3.7166667</geo:long>
<geo:lat>51.05</geo:lat>
</geo:Point>
</rdf:RDF>

Now my question is : how do i parse this RDF to get to the long and lat
values ?
Is there a library available or am i on my own to get to the long and lat
values ?

thanks for your help

Werner
