Sesame was the old name of the Eclipse RDF4J Java framework for storing, querying and inferencing for RDF. It can be deployed as a web server or used as a Java library. Features include several query languages (SeRQL and SPARQL), inferencing support, and scalable persistence in an RDF database.
Overview
OpenRDF Sesame was the old name of Eclipse RDF4J, a Java framework for storing, querying and manipulating RDF data.
It can be deployed as a web server or used as a Java library. Features include several query languages (SeRQL and SPARQL 1.1), inferencing support, and fast RAM or scalable persistent storage. Additionally, the central APIs of Sesame are storage-independent and are supported by many third-party RDF database vendors.
Documentation Links
Documentation can be found on the Sesame project website, including Javadocs, tutorials, and other user/system documentation.
When to use this tag
Use sesame only on questions about the legacy Sesame API (where the package names still start with org.openrdf). All questions about the Eclipse RDF4J API (org.eclipse.rdf4j) should be tagged with rdf4j instead. Note that more general questions should often include rdf or sparql, since their answers might not depend essentially on the Sesame API.
