TRIPLE Homepage
Description
TRIPLE is an RDF query, inference, and transformation language for the
Semantic Web.
Instead of having a built-in semantics for RDF Schema (as
many other RDF query languages have), TRIPLE
allows the semantics of languages on top of RDF (like RDF Schema,
Topic Maps, UML, etc.) to be defined with rules.
For languages where this is not easily possible
(e.g., DAML+OIL), access to external programs (like description
logics classifiers) is provided.
As a result, TRIPLE allows RDF reasoning and transformation
under several different semantics, which is necessary if you
need to access multiple data source in one application
(e.g., for data integration).
TRIPLE is a joint work of Stefan
Decker (Stanford University Database Group) and Michael
Sintek (DFKI GmbH Kaiserslautern, Knowledge Management Dpt., and
Stanford University Database Group).
