About:
LRDF is a lightweight RDF library designed specifically for handling metadata associated with LADSPA (Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API) plugins. It provides a standardized way to store, query, and retrieve descriptive information about audio plugins, such as ports, control ranges, and categorization. This enables audio applications to dynamically discover and properly utilize available LADSPA plugins.

Key Features:

RDF-based metadata storage for LADSPA plugins
Simple query API for retrieving plugin information
Lightweight and easy to integrate into audio applications
Supports standardized plugin categorization and description

Use Cases:

Building audio applications that need to dynamically load and describe LADSPA plugins
Creating plugin browsers or managers that display detailed plugin metadata
Developing digital audio workstations (DAWs) with advanced plugin discovery features

Alternatives:

Direct LADSPA API – LRDF adds a semantic metadata layer on top of the basic LADSPA descriptor, enabling richer querying and categorization.
