## Features
2017-07-05 21:27:55 +00:00
- fully compatible with the RDF 1.1 specification
2017-06-24 22:25:07 +00:00
- in-memory data structures for RDF descriptions, RDF graphs and RDF datasets
2020-06-14 20:07:22 +00:00
- basic graph pattern matching against the in-memory data structures with streaming-support
- execute [SPARQL] queries against the in-memory data structures via the [SPARQL.ex] package or against any SPARQL endpoint via the [SPARQL.Client] package
- RDF vocabularies as Elixir modules for safe, i.e. compile-time checked and concise usage of IRIs
- most of the important XML schema datatypes for RDF literals
- define custom datatypes for RDF literals, incl. as derivations of XSD datatypes via facets
2017-08-22 21:31:16 +00:00
- sigils for the most common types of nodes, i.e. IRIs, literals, blank nodes and lists
2017-07-27 19:49:35 +00:00
- a description DSL resembling Turtle in Elixir
2019-08-20 19:28:32 +00:00
- implementations for the [N-Triples], [N-Quads] and [Turtle] serialization formats; [JSON-LD] is implemented in the separate [JSON-LD.ex] package
2020-06-14 20:07:22 +00:00
- validate data against [ShEx] schemas via the [ShEx.ex] package

There's still much to do for a complete RDF ecosystem for Elixir, which means there are plenty of opportunities for you to contribute. Here are some suggestions:
2020-06-01 14:44:06 +00:00
- more serialization formats, like [RDFa], [RDF-XML], [N3], [CSVW], [HDT] etc.
2018-03-10 00:47:04 +00:00
- more XSD datatypes
2017-06-24 22:25:07 +00:00
- improve documentation
