Redland RDF Libraries

Redland is a set of free software C libraries that provide support for the Resource Description Framework (RDF).

• Modular, object based libraries and APIs for manipulating the RDF graph, triples, URIs and Literals.
• Storage for graphs in memory and persistently with Oracle Berkeley DB, MySQL 3-5, PostgreSQL, OpenLink Virtoso, SQLite, files or URIs.
• Support for multiple syntaxes for reading and writing RDF as RDF/XML, N-Triples and Turtle, RSS and Atom syntaxes via the Raptor RDF Syntax Library.
• Querying with SPARQL and RDQL using the Rasqal RDF Query Library.
• Data aggregation and recording provenance support with Redland contexts.
• Language Bindings in Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby via the Redland Bindings package.
• Command line utility programs rdfproc (RDF), rapper (parsing) and roqet (query).
• Portable, fast and with no known memory leaks.
