Description

The D2RQ Platform is a system for accessing relational databases as virtual, read-only RDF graphs. It offers RDF-based access to the content of relational databases without having to replicate it into an RDF store. Using D2RQ you can:

  • query a non-RDF database using SPARQL
  • access the content of the database as Linked Data over the Web
  • create custom dumps of the database in RDF formats for loading into an RDF store
  • access information in a non-RDF database using the Apache Jena API

D2RQ is Open Source software and published under the Apache license.
