Eclipse RDF4J

Eclipse RDF4J Graph Store API

The [SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/) is supported on a per-repository basis. The functionality is accessible at the /repositories//rdf-graphs/service endpoint (for indirectly referenced named graphs), and at /repositories//rdf-graphs/ for directly referenced named graphs. A request on a directly referenced named graph entails that the request URL itself is used as the named graph identifier in the repository.

  title: RDF4J REST Graph Store API
  version: '10'
  description: 'The RDF4J REST API is an HTTP protocol that covers a fully compliant implementation of the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol W3C Recommendation. This ensures that RDF4J Server functions as a fully standard-compliant SPARQL endpoint.


    The RDF4J REST API additionally supports the SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol W3C Recommendation. The RDF4J REST API extends the W3C standards in several aspects, the most important of which is database transaction management.'
