NAME

redland - Resource Description Framework (RDF) Library

VERSION

1.0.16

SYNOPSIS

 #include <redland.h>

DESCRIPTION

redland is a library providing support for the Resource Description Framework (RDF) written in ANSI C with APIs in several other languages.

This manual page lists most of the redland public API functions but does not claim to be a complete summary of the entire API. For the complete API with full details of the function interface, see the HTML API documentation either on the Redland web site at <http://librdf.org/> or with the software release in the docs/api directory.

FUNCTIONS

The functions defined by redland are all defined with the "librdf_" prefix

class concepts

The library provides macros for all of the RDF and RDFS concepts - nodes and URIs. For example, "LIBRDF_MS_Alt" for the librdf_node for the rdf:Alt concept and "LIBRDF_MS_Alt_URI" for the librdf_uri for the URI reference of rdf:Alt.

"LIBRDF_URI_RDF_MS" and "LIBRDF_URI_RDF_SCHEMA" provide the librdf_uri objects for the RDF and RDFS namespace URIs. They must be copied using librdf_new_uri_from_uri to be shared correctly.
