RDF2GO API

[Andy]

Does Anzo support the RDF2GO API as an interface to the triple store?

[Andy]

I would also like to know whether Anzo support the Sesame interface
too. I'm trying to build an application and I'm looking for an
abstract interface, like RDF2GO and Sesame, to support multiple triple
stores. Thx.

Hi Andy,
Currently we do not support any other RDF APIs. We view Openanzo,
not as a triple store with a simple RDF API, but as a complete semantic
middleware platform. A pure RDF API is not expressive enough to take
advantage of all of our features such as transactions, access control,
revisioning, named graphs, notifications, semantic services and
datasources. Our multi-database compatible, revisioned RDF store is
only one triple store that one might use as a backend datasource within
our middleware, though it is the only one hooked up right now. But we
can easily imagine pluging in a Sesame or other triple store as a
backend datasource.

Now, you might find it convenient to have, say, our NamedGraph API
wrapped in RDF2GO or Sesame, but you probably wouldn't save much effsort
as you'd need to go well outside that abstraction to make use of most
our features. This is still something we may support, but likely not in
the immediate future.
