[Announcement] OxiRS: A comprehensive Rust ecosystem for Semantic Web & Knowledge Graphs (v0.1.0 RC)

Hi R2C2 community,

My name is Tetsuya (KitaSan), a Rust architect based in Southeast Asia
(Owner of COOLJAPAN OU in Estonia). I was suggested by a community member
to reach out here regarding a project that might be relevant to the goals
of this group.

*The Context:* As many of you are aware, the current Rust Semantic Web
landscape—while promising—suffers from fragmentation. We have excellent
individual crates, but we often lack a unified, "batteries-included" stack
comparable to what Apache Jena offers in the Java world.

*The Project: OxiRS* To address this, I have been developing *OxiRS*, which
is part of a larger scientific & AI ecosystem called "COOLJAPAN" (approx.
7.5M+ SLOC in Rust).

OxiRS aims to provide a cohesive, high-performance toolkit for Knowledge
Graph engineering, specifically designed to bridge the gap between rigorous
semantic standards and practical, industrial-grade implementation.

*Key Goals:*

   -

   *Consolidation:* Reducing the need to glue together disparate libraries
   by providing a standardized architecture.
   -

   *Performance:* Leveraging Rust’s zero-cost abstractions for heavy KG
   processing.
   -

   *Usability:* Moving towards better tooling support (aiming for better
   LSP/Cargo-like experiences for SemWeb in the future).

*Status:* I am preparing to release the *Release Candidate (RC) for v0.1.0*
within this year.

Before the official launch, I would love to invite this group to take a
look (once the repository is fully public/stable) and discuss how we can
align efforts to avoid further fragmentation.

I am looking forward to any feedback or discussion on how we can make Rust
the dominant language for the next generation of Semantic Web technologies.
