Welcome to the SesameTools wiki! SesameTools is a collection of useful components for use with the Sesame RDF framework. It includes:

• CachingSail -- an in-memory cache for Sail data
• Sesametools common utilities -- miscellaneous useful classes
• ConstrainedSail -- a Sail implementation which interacts only with given named graphs. Useful for simple access control.
• DebugSail -- a verbose Sail implementation, for debugging purposes
• DecomposeSail -- a Sail implementation which decomposes tuple queries into individual getStatements calls
• DeduplicationSail -- a Sail implementation which avoids duplicate statements. For use with triple stores such as AllegroGraph which otherwise allow duplicates.
• JSON-LD utilities -- including a parser and writer for the JSON-LD RDF format.
• LinkedDataServer -- a RESTful web service to publish a Sesame data store as Linked Data
• MappingSail -- a Sail which translates between two URI spaces. Used by LinkedDataServer.
• N-Quads utilities -- including an N-Quads parser and writer
• RDF/JSON utilities -- including a parser and writer for the Talis RDF/JSON format. Includes support for Named Graphs.
• RDFTransactionSail -- a write-only Sail which generates RDF transactions instead of performing per-call updates. Useful for streaming RDF data as described here
• ReadOnlySail -- a read-only Sail implementation
• ReplaySail -- a pair of Sail implementations which allow Sail operations to be first recorded to a log file, then reproduced from the log file
• RepoSail -- a Sail implementation which wraps a Repository object. This is essentially the inverse of Sesame's SailRepository
• Sesamize -- command-line tools for Sesame
• UriTranslator - a utility which runs SPARQL-1.1 Update queries against a Repository to convert URIs between different prefixes
• WriteOnlySail -- a write-only Sail implementation

For projects which use Maven, SesameTools snapshots and release packages can be imported by adding configuration like the following to the project's POM:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.fortytwo.sesametools</groupId>
            <artifactId>rdfjson</artifactId>
            <version>1.5</version>
        </dependency>

        ...

        <repository>
            <id>fortytwo</id>
            <name>fortytwo.net Maven repository</name>
            <url>http://fortytwo.net/maven2</url>
        </repository>
