Sophia: a Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data

Sophia

A Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data.

It comprises the following crates:

• sophia_api defines a generic API for RDF and linked data, as a set of core traits and types; more precisely, it provides traits for describing
  • terms, triples and quads,
  • graphs and datasets,
  • parsers and serializers.
• sophia_iri provides functions for validating and resolving IRIs.
• sophia_term defines implementations of the TTerm trait.
• sophia is the “all-included” crate, re-exporting symbols from all the crates above and also providing additional implementations:
  • optimized in-memory graphs and datasets,
  • parsers and serializers for various RDF formats (Turtle-family and RDF/XML).
• sophia_jsonld provides preliminary support for JSON-LD.

Performances

A comparison of Sophia with other RDF libraries is available here.

Testing

The test suite depends on the RDF test-suite and the JSON-LD test-suite which is included as a git submodule. In order to run all the tests, you need to execude the following commands:

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Licence

• CECILL-B (compatible with BSD) for core reusable components
• CECILL-C (compatible with GNU LGPL) for other components
