RFP marmotta - Apache Marmotta, Open Platform for Linked Data

[Andreas Kuckartz <a....@ping.de>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Apache Marmotta is an Open Platform for Linked Data.

The goal of Apache Marmotta is to provide an open implementation of a
Linked Data Platform that can be used, extended and deployed easily by
organizations who want to publish Linked Data or build custom
applications on Linked Data.

Right now the project is graduating from the incubator as a new Top
Level Project in the Apache Software Foundation. Since entering the
incubator in December 2012, the team has worked really hard to move the
codebase to the Apache infrastructure and publish releases following the
ASF policies and guidelines.


Features:

* Read-Write Linked Data
* RDF triple store with transactions, versioning and rule-base reasoning
* SPARQL and LDPath query languages
* Transparent Linked Data Caching
* Integrated security mechanisms


Background:

Marmotta comes as a continuation of the work in the Linked Media
Framework project. LMF is an easy-to-setup server application that
bundles some technologies such as Apache Stanbol or Apache Solr to offer
some advanced services. After the release 2.6, the Read-Write Linked
Data server code and some related libraries have been set aside to
incubate Marmotta within the The Apache Software Foundation. LMF still
keeps exactly the same functionality, but now bundling Marmotta too.

Apache Marmotta joined ASF Incubator in December 2012, graduating as a
Top Level Project in November 2013.

Apache Marmotta is implemented in Java.

Some work has already been done to create a Debian package:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARMOTTA-431

But some details need to be polished so that the package conforms to the
Debian policy.
