Introduction

ICS-FORTH has developed substantial know-how in RDF metadata management. Specifically, a suite of tools for validating, storing and querying RDF descriptions is currently under development.

RDFSuite comprises the following tools: VRP (Validating RDF Parser), RSSDB (RDF Schema-Specific Database), an object-relational store for RDF metadata and RQL (RDF Query Language), the first declarative language for querying resource descriptions and schemas in a uniform manner.

The goal of this project is to continue and complete the development of RDFSuite by producing appropriate graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for the aforementioned tools and by improving the tools' performance so that they can be used by the entire consortium for managing metadata descriptions of all related resources (documents, software etc.)
