Basic RDF
RDF in Programming Practice


  • For example, using Python+RDFLib:
    • a “Triple Store” is created
    • the RDF file is parsed and results stored in the Triple Store
    • the Triple Store offers methods to retrieve:
      • triples
      • (property,object) pairs for a specific subject
      • (subject,property) pairs for specific object
      • etc.
    • the rest is conventional programming…
  • Similar tools exist in PHP, Java, etc. (see later)
