Welcome to the SesameTools wiki! SesameTools is a collection of general-purpose components for use with the Sesame RDF framework. It includes:
- SesameTools common utilities: miscellaneous useful classes
- CachingSail: an in-memory cache for RDF data
- ConstrainedSail: a Sail implementation which interacts only with given named graphs. Useful for simple access control.
- DeduplicationSail: a Sail implementation which avoids duplicate statements. For use with triple stores such as AllegroGraph which otherwise allow duplicates.
- JSON-LD utilities: including a parser and writer for the JSON-LD RDF format.
- LinkedDataServer: a RESTful web service to publish a Sesame data store as Linked Data
- MappingSail: a Sail which translates between two URI spaces. Used by LinkedDataServer.
- N-Quads utilities: including an N-Quads parser and writer
- RDFTransactionSail: a write-only Sail which generates RDF transactions instead of performing per-call updates. Useful for streaming RDF data as described here
- RDF/JSON utilities: including a parser and writer for the Talis RDF/JSON format. Includes support for Named Graphs.
- ReadOnlySail: a read-only Sail implementation
- ReplaySail: a pair of Sail implementations which allow Sail operations to be first recorded to a log file, then reproduced from the log file
- RepositorySail: a Sail implementation which wraps a Repository object. This is essentially the inverse of Sesame's SailRepository
- Sesamize: command-line tools for Sesame
- URI Translator: a utility which runs SPARQL-1.1 Update queries against a Repository to convert URIs between different prefixes
- WriteOnlySail: a write-only Sail implementation
