LDP Implementations
This is community-maintained page listing planned and existing implementations of the Linked Data Platform (LDP). If you are associated with such an implementation (planned or complete), please make sure it is correctly listed on this page. See the LDP compliance reports for those implementations who have supplied testing results.
Disclaimer: The contents of this page have not necessarily been reviewed by the LDP Working Group. Things listed on this page might not actually be LDP implementations. (But please do try to keep it limited to things which aim to be full or partial LDP implementations.)

Carbon LDP (Client and Server)
- Summary
- Carbon LDP is an enterprise-class Linked Data Platform that helps artists and engineers create and extend web applications with ease. Information can be modeled and managed without creating database schema or modifying those of existing apps. Carbon significantly reduces the need for complex SQL queries and compiled deployments when building sophisticated systems. Existing enterprise apps can be extended and better integrated. New apps can be created to be future-proof, with all the benefits of Linked Data and the RDF data model. Data is managed through a simple JSON/REST API or with the aid of the Carbon LDP JavaScript SDK. Carbon LDP is nearly fully compliant with the LDP 1.0 specification. Among other features, it provides security authentication and authorization, an app developer Workbench (GUI), SPARQL support with a SPARQL client (GUI), and LDAP integration.
