Dear all, We're proud to announce the first Release Candidate of the OpenRDF Sesame framework. After two years of hard work, with ten alpha- and beta releases, we are now nearing the completion of Sesame 2.0. The first Release Candidate for Sesame 2.0 has just been released, and we expect to be able to release the 2.0-final release in a few weeks. Sesame 2 is an important step forward from the Sesame 1.x series, building on the feedback that has been gathered during the past years. A lot of improvements have been made to various APIs as well as the framework as a whole. Of special interest are: * Sesame 2 is completely targeted at Java 5. All APIs use Java 5 features such as typed collections and iterators where applicable. * Support for the SPARQL Query Language. * A REST-ful HTTP protocol that includes support for the SPARQL protocol and SPARQL Query Results XML Format. * A revised API that is much more targeted at the use of Sesame as a library. * Support for context/provenance, allowing you to keep track of individual RDF data units (like files, for instance). * A full transactional model. For more information, please visit http://www.openrdf.org/ Those that are currently visiting ISWC in Korea are very welcome at the Aduna stand. Regards, Arjohn Kampman -- Arjohn Kampman, Senior Software Engineer Aduna - Guided Exploration www.aduna-software.com
