OxiRS-Star ⭐

Status: Production Release (v0.1.0) - Feature Complete - January 7, 2026

✅ Production Ready: All v0.1.0 features complete with 292 passing tests. Enterprise-ready RDF-star capabilities with comprehensive tooling for compliance, migration, distributed processing, and analysis.

RDF-star and SPARQL-star implementation providing support for quoted triples, reification, and advanced semantic metadata processing.

Quick Start

Add to your Cargo.toml:

# Experimental feature
[dependencies]
oxirs-star = "0.1.0"

Basic Usage

use oxirs_star::{StarStore, StarTriple, StarTerm};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut store = StarStore::new();

    // Create a quoted triple
    let quoted = StarTriple::new(
        StarTerm::iri("http://example.org/person1")?,
        StarTerm::iri("http://example.org/age")?,
        StarTerm::literal("25")?,
    );

    // Use the quoted triple as a subject for metadata
    let meta_triple = StarTriple::new(
        StarTerm::quoted_triple(quoted),
        StarTerm::iri("http://example.org/certainty")?,
        StarTerm::literal("0.9")?,
    );

    store.insert(&meta_triple)?;
    Ok(())
}

Parsing RDF-star Formats

use oxirs_star::parser::StarParser;

let turtle_star = r#"
    <<:alice :age 25>> :certainty 0.9 .
    <<:bob :knows :alice>> :source :survey2023 .
"#;

let parser = StarParser::new();
let triples = parser.parse_turtle_star(turtle_star)?;

SPARQL-star Queries

use oxirs_star::query::StarQueryEngine;

let query = r#"
    SELECT ?triple ?certainty WHERE {
        ?triple :certainty ?certainty .
        ?triple { ?s :age ?age }
        FILTER(?age > 20)
    }
"#;

let engine = StarQueryEngine::new(&store);
let results = engine.execute(query)?;
