A Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data.

It comprises the following crates:

• sophia is currently the main crate, but will eventually become a "compilation" of the smaller, more specialized crates listed below. Currently, it defines
  • traits for describing RDF graphs and datasets,
  • implementation of those traits (in-memory),
  • traits for serializing and parsing various RDF formats,
  • implementation of those traits for Turtle-like syntaxes and RDF/XML.
• sophia_api currently defines the trait for RDF terms, with its associated types; in the future it will contain all the core traits and types of the Sophia API.
• sophia_iri provides functions for validating and resolving IRIs
• sophia_term defines implementations of the TTerm trait.
• sophia_jsonld preliminary support for JSON-LD

A comparison of Sophia with other RDF libraries is available here.

The test suite depends on the RDF test-suite and the JSON-LD test-suite which is included as a git submodule. In order to run all the tests, you need to execude the following commands:

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

• CECILL-B (compatible with BSD) for core reusable components
• CECILL-C (compatible with GNU LGPL) for other components
