The RDF4J Console is a text console application for interacting with RDF4J. It can be used to create and use local RDF databases, or to connect to a running RDF4J Server.
In this chapter, we explain how you can install RDF4J Server (the actual database server and SPARQL endpoint service) and RDF4J Workbench (a web-based client UI for managing databases and executing queries).
In this section we explain how to configure the application directory of the various RDF4J tools.
In RDF4J Server, repository configurations with all their parameters are modeled in RDF. The syntax is documented in more detail in Repository and SAIL Configuration. In order to create a new repository, the Console needs to create such an RDF document and submit it to the repository manager. The Console uses configuration templates to accomplish this.
Eclipse RDF4J™ is a powerful Java framework for processing and handling RDF data. This includes creating, parsing, scalable storage, reasoning and querying with RDF and Linked Data. It offers an easy-to-use API that can be connected to all leading RDF database solutions. It allows you to connect with SPARQL endpoints and create applications that leverage the power of linked data and Semantic Web.
