#[1]DOAP
Redland RDF Application Framework
[2]Dave Beckett
Overview
[3]Redland is a library that provides a high-level interface for the
Resource Description Framework (RDF) allowing the RDF graph to be
parsed from XML, stored, queried and manipulated. Redland implements
each of the RDF concepts in its own class via an object based API,
reflected into the language APIs, currently C#, Java, Perl, PHP,
Python, Ruby and Tcl. Several classes providing functionality such as
for parsers, storage are built as modules that can be loaded at compile
or run-time as required.
This is a mature and stable RDF library developed since 2000 used in
multiple projects. See the [4]FAQS for general information and the
[5]Redland issue tracker for known bugs and issues. A summary of the
changes can be found in the [6]NEWS file, detailed API changes in the
[7]release notes and file-by-file changes in the Subversion
[8]ChangeLog.
Redland provides:
* A modular, [9]object based library written in C
* APIs for manipulating the RDF [10]graph and parts - [11]Statements,
[12]Resources and Literals
* Language Bindings in C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl via
the [13]Redland Bindings package.
* Support for multiple syntaxes for reading and writing RDF with
[14]Parsers and [15]Serializers for [16]RDF/XML, [17]N-Triples and
[18]Turtle Terse RDF Triple Language syntax via the [19]Raptor RDF
Parser Toolkit.
* [20]Storage for graphs in memory and persistently with
Sleepycat/Berkeley DB, MySQL 3-5, PostgreSQL, [21]AKT Triplestore
library, [22]SQLite, files or URIs.
* [23]Query language support for RDQL using [24]Rasqal.
* APIs for accessing the graph by Statement (triples) or by Nodes and
Arcs
* Redland contexts for managing aggregating graphs and recording
provenance.
* [25]Statement Streams for efficient construction, parsing and
serialisation of graphs
* [26]rdfproc RDF processor utility program
* No memory leaks.
