# RDFBeans framework

RDFBeans is an object-RDF mapping framework for Java. It provides ORM-like databinding functionality for RDF data models 

with two basic techniques:

  * Classic object persistence: basic CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete) operations on the state of JavaBean-like POJO objects

  * Dynamic proxy mechanism for transparent access of RDF data using Java interfaces mapped directly 

    to the underlying RDF model structures

RDFBeans is built upon [Eclipse RDF4J](http://rdf4j.org/) (former Sesame) API

to provide object persistence with a number of RDF storage implementations, including

[third party RDF database solutions](http://rdf4j.org/about/rdf4j-databases/).

RDFBeans is based on Java Annotations mechanism. 

No special interfaces and superclasses is required, that guarantees minimum 

modifications of existing codebase and compatibility with other POJO-oriented 

frameworks.   

  

Other features:

  * Built-in support of basic Java literal types mapped to standard XML-Schema literals; with ability to extend

    it with custom algorithms to represent domain-specific data structures  

  * Cascade databinding to reduce development time and to ensure referential integrity of complex object models  

  * Support of basic Java Collections, optionally represented with RDF containers  

  * Inheritance of RDFBeans annotations from superclasses and/or interfaces  

  * Transaction-safe model updates  

  * Virtual inversed properties to model [owl:inverseOf](http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-owl-semantics-20040210/#owl_inverseOf)-like behavior (experimental)  

  * Support of RDF namespaces
