Apache Commons RDF

Build Status

Coverage Status

Commons RDF aims to provide a common library for RDF 1.1 with implementations for common Java RDF frameworks like RDF4J, Apache Jena as well as for other libraries such as OWLAPI, Clerezza and other JVM languages.

The main motivation behind this simple library is to revise an historical incompatibility issue between these toolkits. This library does not pretend to be a generic API wrapping those libraries, but is a set of common Java interfaces for the RDF 1.1 concepts, e.g. IRI, BlankNode, Graph, accompanied with unit test cases for their expected behaviour, and a simple implementation, which main purpose is to clarify the tests and interfaces.

In particular, Commons RDF aims to provide a type-safe, non-general API that covers RDF 1.1.

Building

Building has been tested with Apache Maven 3.2 and Java JDK 8.

To then use this build from your project, add to Maven (update <version> to match the Maven output):

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-rdf-api</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.0-incubating</version>
</dependency>

.. and an equivalent <dependency> for the implementation you would like, e.g. commons-rdf-simple.

The <version> above might not be up to date, see the downloads to use the latest stable release published in Maven Central.

Snapshot repository

The Apache Commons RDF project is aiming to regularly release early previews releases (0.x.y versions) and publish these to Maven Central. See the downloads to use the latest stable release.

However, if you are following the ongoing development on dev@commons, (using subject tag [RDF]) you may want to try the snapshot builds, which are automatically deployed to the Apache snapshot repository.

To use these snapshots from your Maven project, depend on the latest *-SNAPSHOT version as found in the current pom.xml, and add to your own pom.xml:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>apache.snapshots</id>
    <name>Apache Snapshot Repository</name>
    <url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url>
    <releases>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </releases>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Simple implementation

The commons-rdf-simple module contains a simple (if not naive) implementation of the Commons RDF API using in-memory POJO objects.

Note that although this module fully implements the commons-rdf API, it should not be considered a reference implementation. It is not thread-safe nor scalable, but may be useful for testing and simple usage (e.g. output from an independent RDF parser).

Testing

The abstract classes AbstractGraphTest, AbstractDatasetTest, AbstractBlankNodeTest and AbstractRDFTest can be realised as JUnit tests by implementations in order to verify that they pass the minimal requirements of this API.

In order for this to work, your project will need to depend on the tests classifier for the commons-rdf-api module, for example (for Maven):

<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.12</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-rdf-api</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.0-incubating</version>
    <classifier>tests</classifier>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

The extensions of each Test class need to provide a RDF instance that can create the corresponding implementations of a Graph, IRI, etc.

For an example, see SimpleGraphTest.
