Announcement: marklogic-jena 1.0.0 release

[Charles Greer <Ch...@marklogic.com>]

Hello Jena users,

I'd like to announce the release of marklogic-jena, a project that exposes MarkLogic's semantics layer to jena developers.

The project has two goals:

1. Allow Jena users to interact with MarkLogic as a triple store via the DatasetGraph interface.
2. Expose the hybrid database capabilities of MarkLogic to jena developers.

For those of you who are not familiar with it, MarkLogic is an enterprise-grade document-oriented database.
It stores XML and JSON trees natively, as well as text and binary documents.  Since version 7 it has also had
support for RDF triples and SPARQL.  Version 8 brought SPARQL update and inferencing.  Version 8.0-4, just
released, exposed enough over REST to support Jena as a client library, including transactions and variable
bindings.

You can download Marklogic 8.0-4 from http://developer.marklogic.com

marklogic-jena is available from Maven Central:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.marklogic</groupId>
    <artifactId>marklogic-jena</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Now that marklogic-jena works against a released server, I also invite you all to submit issues, contribute, fork, and explore
on the github project
