Rudf

Rudf is a work in progress graph database implementing the SPARQL standard.

There is no released version yet.

Its goal is to provide a compliant, safe and fast graph database based on the RocksDB key-value store. It is written in Rust.

The lib directory contains the database written as a Rust library and the server directory a stand-alone binary of a web server implementing the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol.

Are currently implemented:

• SPARQL 1.1 Query except FROM and FROM NAMED.
• Turtle, TriG, N-Triples, N-Quads and RDF XML RDF serialization formats for both data ingestion and retrieval using the Rio library.
• SPARQL Query Results XML Format and SPARQL Query Results JSON Format.

Run the web server

Build

You need to have a recent stable version of Rust and Cargo installed.

If it's done, executing cargo build --release in the root directory of this repository should compile the full server after having downloaded its dependencies. It will create a fat binary in target/release/rudf_server.

Usage

Run ./rudf_server to start the server. It listen by default on localhost:7878.

The server provides an HTML UI with a form to execute SPARQL requests.

It provides the following routes:

• / allows to POST data to the server. For example curl -f -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/n-triples' --data-binary "@MY_FILE.nt" http://localhost:7878/ will add the N-Triples file MY_FILE.nt to the server repository. Turtle, TriG, N-Triples, N-Quads and RDF XML are supported.
• /query allows to evaluate SPARQL queries against the server repository following the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol. For example curl -f -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/sparql-query' --data 'SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10' http://localhost:7878/query. This route supports content negotiation and could return Turtle, N-Triples, RDF XML, SPARQL Query Results XML Format and SPARQL Query Results JSON Format.

Use rudf_server --help to see the possible options when starting the server.
