The libgnurdf (GNUpdate RDF) library provides quick and easy access to RDF (XML Resource Description Format) files.

Libgnurdf makes it easy to create, modify, and search RDF files from any C/C++ (and soon Perl and Python) programs. GNUpdate uses this to access its database and to generate queries for online package databases running gnups.

Libgnurdf works with both libxml1 (tested with libxml v1.8.10 and up) and libxml2 (tested with libxml 2.3.8). The necessary version is detected during configure.

For a more complete, general purpose RDF library, take a look at the Redland RDF library.

Though libgnurdf is still beta, it works well. It is being used for libpackman and all bugs that I've encountered have been fixed.

To keep an eye out on the status of libgnurdf, visit the ChangeLog, or subscribe to the CVS listserv on our ListServs page.

The current release of libgnurdf is version 0.3.1.
