Description

RDFSharp is an Open Source library designed to ease the creation of .NET applications based on the RDF data model, providing users with a straightforward didactic solution for start playing with RDF and Semantic Web concepts. With RDFSharp it is possible to quickly draft .NET solutions capable of modeling, storing and querying RDF.

• MODEL
  • Create and manage RDF models (namespaces, datatypes, resources, literals, containers, collections, triples, graphs, patterns, ...);
  • Exchange them using standard RDF formats (N-Triples, Turtle, RDF/XML, TriX);

• STORE
  • Create and manage RDF stores as portable databases optimized for storage of RDF data;
  • Create and manage RDF federations as virtual stores giving integrated access to multiple stores;

• QUERY
  • Create and execute RDF queries on graphs, stores and federations to retrieve RDF data;

• SEMANTICS
  • Create and execute RDF reasonings to exploit semantic relations between RDF data;
