Starting to work with Jena API

[Pavan Tej <pm...@uic.edu>]

Hii,

This is Pavan Tej, from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I need to
develop a semantic application. I first imported the jena libraries in
eclipse. Can anyone tell me what are the next steps to be taken. Or provide
any source to learn about how to proceed with things. I am having the basic
knowledge about RDFs and the models.

Suppose the project is the application, not how to install software or 
grok Eclipse or run examples.

Too much technology is too hard to use - it take too much time and 
investment from the clever user to engage with the nitty gritty details 
of technologies just to get to the thing they are trying to do.

Like installing and managing ruby gems.

(this is not (just) RDF - e.g. Eclipse, maven, Linux - features only 
ever get added, not consolidated or replaced)

Hi Pavan,
first of all, welcome to the jena-users mailing list.

Your request is a little bit too generic and broad.

Perhaps, you could start (if you have not done already) reading these:
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/tutorials/rdf_api.html
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/tutorials/sparql.html

Make sure you keep an eye on the Javadoc as well:
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/documentation/javadoc/jena/index.html
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/documentation/javadoc/arq/index.html

See also:
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/documentation/io/iohowto.html

What do you need to do with your 'semantic application'?
Do you have specific problems with Apache Jena?
Is there a specific problem you are stuck on?

The "How to ask a good question" is also a very useful section:
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/help_and_support/index.html

Cheers,
Paolo

In general (not just you). Please, don't try to outsource your University
assignments to the jena-users ml. Your professor might be subscribed to
jena-users as well. ;-)
