| Apache Jena | |
| =========== | |
| Jena is a Java framework for building semantic web applications. It provides | |
| tools and Java libraries to help you to develop semantic web and linked-data | |
| apps, tools and servers. | |
| This distribution includes the following Apache Jena modules: | |
| - jena-core: provides the Jena RDF APIs, Ontology APIs and Inference APIs. | |
| - jena-arq: SPARQL 1.1, query and update. | |
| - jena-iri: provides an implementation of RFC 3987 (IRI) and RFC 3986 (URI) | |
| Installing Jena | |
| --------------- | |
| To use Jena in your application, ensure all the .jar files in the lib/ | |
| directory are on the classpath or available to your web application. Jena | |
| is built and test with these .jar files. | |
| Scripts | |
| ------- | |
| The directories bat/ and bin/ provide script wrappers to run Jena command | |
| line tools. The scripts can be copied to a convenient place on the | |
| command path. | |
| To use the Jena tools from the command line you need to set the JENAROOT | |
| environment variable to point to the location where you have | |
| unzipped the Jena distribution: | |
| Windows: | |
| set JENAROOT \path\to\apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating | |
| bat\sparql.bat --version | |
| Linux | |
| export JENAROOT=/path/to/apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating | |
| bin/sparql --version | |
