Soprano is out of maintenance #71
Comments
The geos++ lib is also on the deprecated list! (Hint: Back to the C Lib) |
I just took a quick look at drobilla/serd. It seems like it is really just a library for reading/writing RDF, but does not support any query functionality. It's not a triple store... No geos++ would be rather bad. :-/ |
There aren't much alternatives to soprano There is a owlcpp lib with an FaCT++ names reasoner but these also based on librdf. The librdf has a SPARQL Query lib on its own, called Rasqal. But booth are out of development since years. A list of semantic web libs could be found here: The python RDFLib is one of the few libs that are currently active. |
I've seen owlcpp before, but I think there was a reason I didn't use it. I guess because it's coupled (how tightly?) to FaCT++, which is GPL. Maybe librdf and rasqal is the best choice... I'm just not a big fan of C. |
I´m either. Its feels more like a step backward instead of forward. By the way before we try to wrap (because nobody like to use it in modern C++ in the direct way) the old C stuff we also could take the maintenance of soprano with qt5. |
We wouldn't need to create a complete wrapper but just use the old C stuff for the few things we need -- i.e. the SPARQL queries, and reading turtle/n3/rdf-xml files. Not using soprano would also get rid of the qt dependency, which would be nice. |
For now I prefer to basically maintain soprano with qt5 as long as needed and with package build and ppa for an easy installation. |
Hi there,
the soprano packages is missing in Debian 10 and so also in Ubuntu >= 19.10.
You could use the sempr-tk/soprano_qt5 fork instead.
But for future releases we should find an alternative for soprano.
One possible solution would be drobilla/serd, for the RDF store.
