Consider this use case: - manage a team's public FOAF profiles with URL prefix http://xx.com/ - a team member X can upload her FOAF profile simply by an HTTP POST request on http://xx.com/members/ at URL /myName - then http://xx.com/myName is visible from Internet and contains triples about <http://xx.com/myName> , which is the member's URI. If I'm correct also Fuseki has a REST front end available. > Well the word REST used in https://jena.apache.org/documentation/serving_data/ is simply meaning that a SPARQL compliant HTTP server can be somehow considered a REST server. But it's not what is generally meant by a REST server: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer In this REST concept , one PUTs or POSTs data at some relative URL's, and by HTP GET at the same URL retrieves the data. This is what an LDP server basically does. An LDP server also can be viewed as similar to an FTP server that typically stores RDF data (but also any binary data). > > > > Sent: Saturday, March 04, 2017 at 11:48 AM > > From: "Jean-Marc Vanel" <[email protected]> > > To: "Jena users" <[email protected]> > > Subject: Re: Fuseki vs Marmotta > > > > Apache Fuseki is a pure SPARQL server, with a native triple database. > > > > Apache Marmotta is a complex beast, primarily an LDP server [1] , but it > > mixes a lot of ingredients: > > http://marmotta.apache.org/platform/index.html > > > > Its persistence layer is only SQL databases. > > It does offer a SPARQL service, but it seems loosely connected to the > other > > modules. > > Especially, I'm not sure that after an LDP PUT or POST, the data will be > > added to the underlying SPARQL database. > > > > [1] LDP https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/ > -- Jean-Marc Vanel http://www.semantic-forms.cc:9111/display?displayuri=http://jmvanel.free.fr/jmv.rdf%23me Déductions SARL - Consulting, services, training, Rule-based programming, Semantic Web +33 (0)6 89 16 29 52 Twitter: @jmvanel , @jmvanel_fr ; chat: irc://irc.freenode.net#eulergui
