h2. Overview
ActiveRDF is a library for accessing RDF data from Ruby programs. It can be used as data layer in Ruby-on-Rails, similar to ?ActiveRecord (which provides an O/R mapping to relational databases). ActiveRDF in RoR allows you to create semantic web applications very rapidly. ActiveRDF gives you a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for your RDF model: you can address RDF resources, classes, properties, etc. programmatically, without queries.

* ActiveRDF can be used with various RDF stores, adapters to other stores can be written very easily.
* ActiveRDF uses convention over configuration, which means it works very nicely in 90% of the cases.
* ActiveRDF is in active development.
* ActiveRDF is open source, released under GPL license.
