About:
Apache Jena is an open-source Java framework for building semantic web and Linked Data applications. It provides a set of tools and libraries for parsing, serializing, and querying RDF data using SPARQL. The framework includes a high-performance graph database (Fuseki) and a rule-based inference engine for deriving new data insights.
Key Features:
  • RDF graph database (TDB2) and SPARQL query engine
  • Ontology API for working with OWL and RDFS
  • Fuseki SPARQL server for HTTP-based data access
  • Inference engine for logical reasoning
  • Support for multiple RDF serialization formats
Use Cases:
  • Building knowledge graphs and semantic data models
  • Integrating and querying heterogeneous data sources
  • Developing applications requiring data inference and reasoning
Alternatives:
  • RDF4J – Java-based alternative with similar RDF processing capabilities and SPARQL support
  • Virtuoso – High-performance triple store with commercial and open-source editions
