RDFLib is a pure Python package for working with [RDF](http://www.w3.org/RDF/). RDFLib contains most things you need to work with RDF, including:
* parsers and serializers for RDF/XML, N3, NTriples, N-Quads, Turtle, TriX, Trig, JSON-LD and even HexTuples
* a Graph interface which can be backed by any one of a number of Store implementations
* Store implementations for in-memory, persistent on disk (Berkeley DB) and remote SPARQL endpoints
* additional Stores can be supplied via plugins
* a SPARQL 1.1 implementation - supporting SPARQL 1.1 Queries and Update statements
* SPARQL function extension mechanisms
## RDFlib Family of packages
The RDFlib community maintains many RDF-related Python code repositories with different purposes. For example:
* [rdflib](https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib) - the RDFLib core
* [sparqlwrapper](https://github.com/RDFLib/sparqlwrapper) - a simple Python wrapper around a SPARQL service to remotely execute your queries
* [pyLODE](https://github.com/RDFLib/pyLODE) - An OWL ontology documentation tool using Python and templating, based on LODE
* [pySHACL](https://github.com/RDFLib/pySHACL) - A pure Python module which allows for the validation of RDF graphs against SHACL graphs
* [OWL-RL](https://github.com/RDFLib/OWL-RL) - A simple implementation of the OWL2 RL Profile which expands the graph with all possible triples that OWL RL defines.
Please see the list for all packages/repositories here:
* <https://github.com/RDFLib>
Help with maintenance of all of the RDFLib family of packages is always welcome and appreciated.

## Documentation
See <https://rdflib.readthedocs.io> for our documentation built from the code. Note that there are `latest`, `stable` and versioned builds, such as `5.0.0`, matching releases.
## Installation
The stable release of RDFLib may be installed with Python's package management tool *pip*:
$ pip install rdflib
Some features of RDFLib require optional dependencies which may be installed using *pip* extras:
$ pip install rdflib[berkeleydb,networkx,html,lxml,orjson]
Alternatively manually download the package from the Python Package
Index (PyPI) at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rdflib
### Installation of the current main branch (for developers)
With *pip* you can also install rdflib from the git repository with one of the following options:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/rdflib/rdflib@main
or
$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/rdflib/rdflib@main#egg=rdflib
or from your locally cloned repository you can install it with one of the following options:
$ poetry install # installs into a poetry-managed venv
or
$ pip install -e .
## Getting Started
RDFLib aims to be a pythonic RDF API. RDFLib's main data object is a `Graph` which is a Python collection
of RDF *Subject, Predicate, Object* Triples:
To create graph and load it with RDF data from DBPedia then print the results:
```python
from rdflib import Graph
g = Graph()
g.parse('http://dbpedia.org/resource/Semantic_Web')
for s, p, o in g:
print(s, p, o)
```
The components of the triples are URIs (resources) or Literals
(values).
URIs are grouped together by *namespace*, common namespaces are included in RDFLib:
```python
from rdflib.namespace import DC, DCTERMS, DOAP, FOAF, SKOS, OWL, RDF, RDFS, VOID, XMLNS, XSD
```
You can use them like this:
```python
from rdflib import Graph, URIRef, Literal
from rdflib.namespace import RDFS, XSD
g = Graph()
semweb = URIRef('http://dbpedia.org/resource/Semantic_Web')
type = g.value(semweb, RDFS.label)
```
Where `RDFS` is the RDFS namespace, `XSD` the XML Schema Datatypes namespace and `g.value` returns an object of the triple-pattern given (or an arbitrary one if multiple exist).
Or like this, adding a triple to a graph `g`:
```python
g.add((
URIRef("http://example.com/person/nick"),
FOAF.givenName,
Literal("Nick", datatype=XSD.string)
))
```
The triple (in n-triples notation) `<http://example.com/person/nick> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName> "Nick"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> .`
is created where the property `FOAF.givenName` is the URI `<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/givenName>` and `XSD.string` is the
URI `<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>`.
You can bind namespaces to prefixes to shorten the URIs for RDF/XML, Turtle, N3, TriG, TriX & JSON-LD serializations:
```python
g.bind("foaf", FOAF)
g.bind("xsd", XSD)
```
This will allow the n-triples triple above to be serialised like this:
```python
print(g.serialize(format="turtle"))
```
With these results:
```turtle
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
<http://example.com/person/nick> foaf:givenName "Nick"^^xsd:string .
```
New Namespaces can also be defined:
```python
dbpedia = Namespace('http://dbpedia.org/ontology/')
abstracts = list(x for x in g.objects(semweb, dbpedia['abstract']) if x.language=='en')
```
See also [./examples](./examples)
## Features
The library contains parsers and serializers for RDF/XML, N3,
NTriples, N-Quads, Turtle, TriX, JSON-LD, RDFa and Microdata.
The library presents a Graph interface which can be backed by
any one of a number of Store implementations.
This core RDFLib package includes store implementations for
in-memory storage and persistent storage on top of the Berkeley DB.
A SPARQL 1.1 implementation is included - supporting SPARQL 1.1 Queries and Update statements.
RDFLib is open source and is maintained on [GitHub](https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib/). RDFLib releases, current and previous
are listed on [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rdflib/)
Multiple other projects are contained within the RDFlib "family", see <https://github.com/RDFLib/>.
## Running tests
### Running the tests on the host
Run the test suite with `pytest`.
```shell
poetry install
poetry run pytest
```
### Running test coverage on the host with coverage report
Run the test suite and generate a HTML coverage report with `pytest` and `pytest-cov`.
```shell
poetry run pytest --cov
```
### Viewing test coverage
Once tests have produced HTML output of the coverage report, view it by running:
```shell
poetry run pytest --cov --cov-report term --cov-report html
python -m http.server --directory=htmlcov
```
