You know Java, and now You want to use semantic technologies or build semantic web applications? No problem. Thesemweb4j project gives you simple libraries to do complicated things with Java and RDF. Very little semantic web knowledge is required.

[edit] Components & Download

• RDF2Go - a unified API to access RDF Models
• RDFReactor - generates convenient Java classes from an RDF Schema. The instances of the generated classes are live views on the RDF model. All get/set/update-calls are directly reflected as changed triples in the RDF model. You can also do SPARQL queries.

For Maven users:

• Our release-repository lives here: http://semweb4j.org/repo .
• You can browse all releases, ".dist" are complete distributions
