Hi Rob,

When I was looking for ways to synchronize Django models with another database, I found your project. Thank you for offering it open source!

As far as I can tell, it is exactly what I need:

When creating or changing an object, the object should be serialized and written to the database (GraphDB). For serialization, I would like to be able to define a ruleset for my object types.
When deleting an object, the object should be deleted from the graph (e.g. through a context or a named graph).

Is this module suitable for this? Do you plan to maintain the project in the long term?

Thanks and greetings Julian

Hi julian the answer is .. possibly..

it is maintained ...

It generates RDF graphs using RDFLIB - then passes this to a configurable chain of services - so should e fine to push to GraphDB - but may need some love to create a "serviceBinding" - currently supports RDF4J and LPD, pushing whole containers. Should be fine to push instances if the API supports this.

At the moment no deletion handling is in place - because I use it to maintain contexts (graphs) on a replace basis - but this isnt a huge deal.

Getting tests against different repo APIS will be a challenge, ideas welcome.

Hi Rob,

thanks – that helped me a lot. Turns out GraphDB exposes the RDF4J’s underlying REST API. Let’s see.

Have a nice weekend

OK - I will improve the examples of how to use RDF4J :-)
