+Apache Marmotta comes with the following components:

+* The Marmotta Platform, a JavaEE web application providing the Linked Data
server.
+* [KiWi](http://marmotta.apache.org/kiwi), a Sesame-based triple store built
on top of a relational database, including reasoning and versioning.
+* [LDPath](http://marmotta.apache.org/ldpath), a path language to navigate
across Linked Data resources.
+* [LDClient](http://marmotta.apache.org/ldclient), a Linked Data client that
allows retrieval of remote resources via different protocols by making use of
pluggable adapters (data providers) that wrap other data sources (such as
YouTube and Facebook).
+* [LDCache](http://marmotta.apache.org/ldcache), a cache system that
automatically retrieves resources by internally using LDClient.
