TP1RDF

My First Application of Semantic Web

The objective of this TP is to study the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Jena. Jena is a Java framework for building Semantic Web and Linked Data applications. It provides a programmatic environment for RDF, RDFS and OWL, SPARQL and includes a rule-based inference engine.

You will use jena with eclipse.

Prepare your working environment:

• you can make the installation using maven or by yourself as following :
• Jena web site : http://jena.apache.org/index.html
• Download Apache Jena.
• Create a TP1 class with the source code in Eclipse and fix the library as in the following screenshots:
  • Build Path Lib
  • For logger : The easiest way to get ride of logger problem is by going to the folder where you extracted apache jena.
    • Find a properties file named : jena-log4j.properties. Copy this file.
    • Navigate to your workspace folder where you have your source project.
    • Go to bin folder and paste the file there. Make sure you rename the file to just log4j.properties
    • Clean the project and run it. (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20365204/configure-eclipse-for-log4j)
  • Nice Tutorial on How to use Jean in Eclipse

TO DO:

• Follow and execute the exercises of the tutorial RDF core API tutorial from 1 to 11 at http://jena.apache.org/tutorials/.

Keep the code in your project directory. You will use the code in other TP.
