Rdf-sesame

RDF.rb plugin for accessing Sesame 2.0-compatible repositories.

This is an RDF.rb plugin that adds support for Sesame 2.0-compatible RDF repositories accessed using Sesame's HTTP API.

{RDF::Sesame}
- {RDF::Sesame::Connection}
- {RDF::Sesame::Server}
- {RDF::Sesame::Repository}

This adapter implements the RDF::Repository interface; refer to the relevant RDF.rb API documentation for further usage instructions.

This adapter does not contain any SPARQL support. To use a Sesame endpoint with SPARQL, see the SPARQL::Client gem.
This adapter is not yet optimized for RDF.rb 0.2.x's bulk-operation APIs, meaning that statement insertions and deletions are currently performed one by one; this may affect the performance of loading large datasets into Sesame. This will be addressed in an upcoming version.
This adapter is not yet optimized for RDF.rb 0.2.x's enhanced query APIs; this may adversely affect triple pattern query performance. This will be addressed in an upcoming version.

Sesame rewrites blank node identifiers on inserted statements. For example, if you supply a _:foobar identifier, it becomes something like _:node156oo6equx12769 as soon as you insert it into a Sesame repository. This means that you can't construct and insert a statement containing a blank node term and then expect to successfully be able check for its existence using the Repository#has_statement? method. This is also the reason that 7 specs for RDF::Repository currently fail with this adapter.

The recommended installation method is via RubyGems. To install the latest official release of the RDF::Sesame gem, do:

% [sudo] gem install rdf-sesame

To get a local working copy of the development repository, do:

% git clone git://github.com/bendiken/rdf-sesame.git

Alternatively, download the latest development version as a tarball as follows:

% wget http://github.com/bendiken/rdf-sesame/tarball/master
