Description

The aim of the dotNetRDF Project is to create an Open Source .Net Library using the latest versions of the .Net Framework to provide a powerful and easy to use API for working with RDF. Our aim is to provide an effective way for working with reasonable amounts of RDF in .Net.

We provide support for various different backing Stores in the Library as well as an API which allows arbitrary Stores to be plugged into the library. Currently we provide support for connecting to the following 3rd party stores: AllegroGraph, 4store, Fuseki, Sesame, Stardog and Virtuoso. It also provides a comprehensive SPARQL implementation that already includes full support for SPARQL 1.1 Query and Update.

The toolkit also includes additional tools, like rdfEditor; a Notepad replacement for editing RDF and SPARQL, rdfConvert, a file format converter; or a Store Manager, a utility which allows to use a simple GUI interface to view and manage the contents of Triple Stores.

The work is also a project on SourceForge.
