Andy Seaborne commented on COMMONSSITE-80:
------------------------------------------
I presume we mean a Java API here. These are not the only RDF APIs. Apache
Jena has an RDF API that is widely used. Outside Apache, Sesame is another.
commons-rdf is an effort with both Apache committers (>1 projects) and others
to find common ground for a portability layer.
An important question is "why?" -- what does a combined/single/new API provide?
For commons-rdf, the goal is portable algorithms and processing with a choice
of storage.
This discussion is useful:

Disclosure: I contribute to Jena and commons-rdf.

> The Apache Clerezza project has the goal to provide"[a]n API modeling the W3C
> RDF standard without any vendor specific additions". It would be beneficial
> of such an API to be part of Apache Commons.
> With this issue the core API work at clerezza should be harmonized with other
> efforts like https://github.com/commons-rdf/commons-rdf in which apache
> committers are involved too. As a new commons-rdf project. the project should
> focus on a minimal API that is thus likely to be broadly accepted.
