RDF query language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A RDF query language is a computer language able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework format.
SPARQL is emerging as the de-facto RDF query language, and is on the track towards W3C Recommendation status. Released as a Candidate Recommendation in April 2006, it returned to Working Draft status in October 2006, due to open issues.
[edit] Other RDF query languages
- DQL, XML-based, queries and results expressed in DAML+OIL
- N3QL, based on Notation 3
- R-DEVICE
- RDFQ, XML-based
- RDQ, SQL-like
- RDQL, SQL-like
- RQL, SQL-like
- SeRQL, SQL-like, similar to RDQL
- Versa, compact syntax (non–SQL-like), solely implemented in 4Suite (Python)
- XUL has a template element in which to declare rules for matching data in RDF. XUL uses RDF extensively for databinding.
