RDFReactor views the RDF data model through object-oriented Java proxies. It makes using RDF easy for Java developers. Technically, it translates an ontology into corresponding Java classes.
- 1. Think in objects, not statements - Read and write RDF data using familiar Java objects, e.g. use
person.setName("Max Mustermann")
instead of
addTriple( personURI, nameURI, "Max Mustermann" )
- 2. Dynamic state - all state information is at all times only in the RDF model in the triple store of your choice
- 3. Java interfaces are generated automatically from an RDF Schema. Code generation via Velocity templates.
