| /** An RDFReader factory inferface. |
| * |
| * <p>This factory interface is slightly unusual, in that, as well as |
| * creating and returning RDFReader's, it also provides methods |
| * for creating a reader, invoking a read method on it and then |
| * shuting it down.</p> |
| * |
| * <p>The factory will create an appropriate reader for the particular |
| * serialization language being read. Predefined languages include:</p> |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>RDF/XML - default</li> |
| * <li>RDF/XML-ABBREV</li> |
| * <li>N-TRIPLE</li> |
| * <li>N3</li> |
| * </ul> |
| *<p>System wide defaults for classes to use as readers for these languages |
| *are defined. These defaults may be overridden by setting a system property |
| *with a name of the form org.apache.jena.readers.<lang> to the class |
| *name.</p> |
| * <p><b>NOTE:</b> All settings are global in nature</p> |
