A couple of days ago - not sure how I missed the announcement,
but fortunately it was mentioned in comments on Shelley's
Practical RDF site.
Jena is a Java framework for building
Semantic Web
applications. It provides a programmatic environment for
RDF, RDFS and
OWL,
including a rule-based inference engine.
Jena is
open source and grown out
of work with the
HP Labs Semantic Web
Programme.
The Jena Framework includes:
- A RDF API
- Reading and writing RDF in RDF/XML, N3 and N-Triples
- An OWL API
- In-memory and persistent storage
- RDQL - a query language for RDF
Support is provided by the
jena-dev
mailing list.
This is wonderful news, and congrats to the team.
