Dear semantic community, we are proud to announce a new version of RDFBean project which serves as Object/RDF mapping solution with Hibernate-like capabilities.
Except regular bugfixes, 1.7 release comes with numerous important features and improvements : 1. RDFBean 1.7 switches from Sesame 3.0 branch which is currently frozen to the latest Sesame version 2.7.6. We believe that this step rapidly improve usability of RDFBean framework as it brings most up-dated version of one of the best triplestore frameworks. 2. Add support for Sesame's remote repositories(HTTPRepository). This new feature is important mainly for enterprise users which use solutions like OWLIM. From this release these users have access to RDFBean functionalities. 3. Improved and updated documentation with more examples and better descriptions. Sources to project : https://github.com/mysema/rdfbean Documentation could be found here : http://source.mysema.com/static/rdfbean/latest/reference/html/ Maven dependencies of core module : <dependency> <groupId>com.mysema.rdf</groupId> <artifactId>rdfbean-core</artifactId> <version>1.7.0</version> </dependency> We will appreciate any feedback and feature request which will improve productivity of the framework. In cooperation with RDFBean, we initiate Spring Data RDF project which should help semantic developers to easily build new projects using Spring Data patterns. We believe Spring integration could speed up expansion of semantic technologies in business projects. At this stage, Spring Data RDF is unofficial Spring Data project which has ambition to apply for official Spring Source registration. As the project is in early stages, I will appreciate any feedback and feature request from community. Until then project sources could be found here : https://bitbucket.org/xsurekm/spring-data-rdf The user documentation : https://bitbucket.org/xsurekm/spring-data-rdf/wiki/Basic_configuration Community forum : http://groups.google.com/d/forum/spring-data-rdf We encourage all developers to join forces and create one leading framework for all triplestores repositories which could be used easily used in any project in "standardized" API by community. Therefore any participation in developement is welcomed. Best regards, Spring Data RDF Team
