As the name implies, this is an RDF Scutter. A scutter is a web robot that follows C<seeAlso>-links, retrieves the content it finds at those URLs, and adds the RDF statements it finds there to its own store of RDF statements.
It is a LWP::RobotUA, inheriting all the abilities of that class, including the ability to be nice to remote servers, heeding robots.txt and so on. Also, it uses the excellent and widespread RDF::Redland library and builds a Model, which again can be used by other tools. It can store the retrieved data in any store that can do contexts that is supported by Redland, file, memory, Berkeley DB, MySQL, etc.
It supports most of http://rdfweb.org/topic/ScutterVocab and adds such statements to the model. For now, it is pretty much a single-run robot, as a second run will just start over.
