RDF Libraries for Python

There are several [http://esw.w3.org/topic/RDF RDF] processing libraries for Python:

  • 4RDF - part of ["4Suite"] - will progressively get merged into rdflib: http://rdflib.net/4rdf_rdflib_migration/

  • [http://oort.to/overview.html Oort] is a toolkit using rdflib, Paste and Genshi, focusing on Web views of RDF graphs.

  • rdflib (see ["RdfLib"]) - you can construct a triple store, load it from an RDF file, and search through it - easy to install, no dependencies that I know of, small and easy, haven't been able to figure out how to do much with it.

  • RedlandRdf - http://librdf.org/docs/python.html -

    • Redland is a python [and other-lang] wrapper around a C library.
    • The interface is not as pythonic as rdflib, but "feels" about the same.
    • Redland uses Raptor for parsing/serialization; Raptor supports NTriples, RDF/XML, Turtle, RSS, Atom.
  • ["Rx4RDF"] - http://rx4rdf.liminalzone.org - is an application stack for building RDF-based applications and web sites. It uses either 4Suite, rdflib or RedlandRdf as the RDF store and layers on the following:

    • RxPath lets you query, transform and update RDF using familar XML technologies like XPath, XSLT and XUpdate.

    • Raccoon is a simple application server that uses an RDF model for its data store, roughly analogous to RDF as [http://cocoon.apache.org Apache Cocoon] is to XML.

    • Rhizome is a content management and delivery system that runs on Raccoon that treates everything (structure and content) as RDF and lets you edit the RDF in a Wiki-like fashion.
  • SemanticWebApplicationPlatform - http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/ - has a lot of stuff, feels like a big lump of code with little differentiation - looks great, but, what is it?

    • It's a big lump of code. :) It's the W3C-semweb-hacker's playground.

  • [http://www.python.org/pypi/sqltriples sqltriples] is a triple store implementation which uses relational databases to offer transactional storage and enhanced querying.
