This script enables "hoovering" an existing guide and

keeping it in line using a cron job.

This looks cool. I noticed that you've implemented OpenGuides::RDF::Reader - would it make sense for this to be part of the OpenGuides distribution, do you think? I'm wary to increase the number of tiny CPAN modules that OpenGuides uses.

I had a reason for keeping it separate - that it doesn't need OpenGuides to be installed to use it (and that process - installing OpenGuides - can be quite tortuous for the unwary). It could be used by mapping sites, or indeed anyone else wanting to making sense of our metadata.

If you feel it belongs inside the OpenGuides distro, include it by all means. But I still would like to provide a separate distro of this module that doesn't need the main OG kit installing. I am willing to listen to others' opinions on this though.
