Scardf is an API in Scala providing a DSL for writing, traversing and querying RDF graphs.

Instead of writing something like this using Jena:

Model model = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel();
model.createResource( "http://somewhere/JohnSmith" )
  .addProperty( N,
    model.createResource()
      .addProperty( Given, "John" )
      .addProperty( Family, "Smith" ) );

with Scardf you can write like this:

Graph( UriRef( "http://somewhere/JohnSmith" ) -N-> Branch( Given -> "John", Family -> "Smith" ) )

Project changes

Current preferred API is in package org.scardf and it's available since version 0.3. The latest stable version is 0.5 and it works with Scala 2.8.0 WARNING: Documentation on the Wiki may include features from the latest development code in the trunk.

Old API is only a facade to Jena. It is still available in the net.croz.scardf package. Jena features are available in the new API too, via the org.scardf.jena package.
