 __Why Marmotta:__ Apache Marmotta was created to provide an Open Source implementation of Linked Data technologies in general, and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/">Linked Data Platform</a> in particular. Usually organizations who want to use this technology need to assemble together different pieces of software, with the obvious problems derived, both technical and legal. Apache Marmotta satisfies that need of the industry, supporting almost any use-case with a permissive Open Source license.
