# RDF.ex
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/rdf-elixir/rdf-ex)
|
|
[](https://hex.pm/packages/rdf)
|
|
|
|
|
|
An implementation of the [RDF](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-primer/) data model in Elixir.
|
|
|
|
The API documentation can be found [here](https://hexdocs.pm/rdf/). For a guide and more information about RDF.ex and it's related projects, go to <https://rdf-elixir.dev>.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- fully compatible with the RDF 1.1 specification
|
|
- in-memory data structures for RDF descriptions, RDF graphs and RDF datasets
|
|
- 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
|
|
- sigils for the most common types of nodes, i.e. IRIs, literals, blank nodes and lists
|
|
- a description DSL resembling Turtle in Elixir
|
|
- implementations for the [N-Triples], [N-Quads] and [Turtle] serialization formats; [JSON-LD] is implemented in the separate [JSON-LD.ex] package
|
|
- validate data against [ShEx] schemas via the [ShEx.ex] package
|
|

## Contributing
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
- more serialization formats, like [RDFa], [RDF-XML], [N3], [CSVW], [HDT] etc.
|
|
- more XSD datatypes
|
|
- improve documentation
