SWI-Prolog Semantic Web Library

Abstract

The semweb library provides a Prolog library based on foreign-language extensions for storing and manipulating RDF triples. It can handle quite large sets of triples only limited by available memory. One million triples requires about 80MB memory, so a fully equiped 32-bit machine can handle about 25 million triples. A 64-bit machine with 32Gb memory (just a few thousand euros in june 2009) can handle up to 150 million triples.

Prerequisites

This library depends on the RDF parser library which in turn depends on the XML parser provided by the sgml package.

Further info

This library defines the semantic web infrastructure for SWI-Prolog. The library is documented in semweb.pdf or the equivalent semweb.html. If your installation does not include this file, please visit http://www.swi-prolog.org/packages/

Staying up-to-date

This library is under active development. The recent version can be accessed from the GIT repository under the directory pl/packages/semweb. See http://www.swi-prolog.org/git.html for details on the central GIT repository and instructions for browsing the repository online.
