RDFSharp has a modular API made up of 3 layers:

RDFSharp.Model

  • Create and manage RDF models (resources, literals, triples, graphs, namespaces, ...)
  • Exchange them using standard RDF formats (N-Triples, TriX, Turtle, RDF/Xml)
  • Create and validate SHACL shapes (shape graphs, shapes, targets, constraints, reports, ...)

RDFSharp.Store

  • Create and manage RDF stores for context-aware modeling of RDF data (contexts, quadruples, ...)
  • Exchange them using standard RDF formats (N-Quads, TriX, TriG)
  • Pick an extension to store RDF data on many supported providers

RDFSharp.Query

  • Create and execute SPARQL queries on graphs, stores, federations and SPARQL endpoints
  • Create and execute SPARQL operations on graphs, stores and SPARQL UPDATE endpoints

An additional layer is also available for working in a powerful and expressive way with OWL-DL ontologies
