[−][src]Crate sophia
This crate aims to provide a comprehensive toolkit for working with RDF and Linked Data in Rust.
RDF is a data model designed to exchange knowledge on the Web in an interoperable way. Each piece of knowledge in RDF (a statement) is represented by a triple, made of three terms. A set of triples forms an RDF graph. Finally, several graphs can be grouped in a collection called a dataset, where each graph is identified by a unique name.
Generalized vs. Strict RDF model
The data model supported by this crate is in fact a superset of the RDF data model as defined by the W3C. When the distinction matters, they will be called, respectively, the generalized RDF model, and the strict RDF model.
Examples
Modules
dataset | An RDF dataset is composed of a default graph, and zero or more named graphs, each associated with a graph name. |
error | Types for handling errors. |
graph | An RDF graph, the central notion of the RDF data model, is a collection of triples. |
ns | Standard and custom namespaces. |
parser | Parsers for standard RDF syntaxes, and tools for building new parsers. |
quad | A quad expresses a single fact within a context.
Quads are like RDF |
query | Query processing over RDF graphs and datasets. |
serializer | Serializers for standard RDF syntaxes, and tools for building new serializers. |
term | Terms are the building blocks of an RDF graph. There are four types of terms: IRIs, blank nodes (BNode for short), literals and variables. |
triple | An RDF triple expresses a single fact. Its formed of three terms called subject, predicate and object. |
