Apache Jena is a free and open source Java framework for building semantic web and Linked Data applications. The framework is composed of different APIs
interacting together to process RDF data. Jena's APIs support query, persistence (including full-text and spatial indexing), inferencing, and more!
We are pleased to announce the release of Apache Jena 3.3.0.
The major feature of this release is in jena-text.
* jena-text: Upgrade to Lucene v6.4.1
Important: Data will need to be reloaded into text indexes.
* jena-text: Support for Elasticsearch: v5.2.2 contributed by Anuj Kumar
New module:
jena-text-es
* jena-text: Drop support for solr4j / Apache Solr
Please comment on JENA-1301 if this affects you.
There has been very little users@ traffic about the Solr
integration over the years.
* Add VCARD4 (JENA-1205)
Contribution from Bart Hanssens
* RDFParser (JENA-1306)
New low level, detailed setup of parsers for special cases.
RDFDataMgr is still the main way to read data (it now uses RDFParser).
* General maintenance
