qEndpoint
qEndpoint is a free, open-source RDF triple store for self-hosted linked-data workloads. It supports full-text search, GeoSPARQL, and SPARQL 1.1, either as a standalone endpoint or as a dependency. A graphical interface lets users write and run SPARQL queries, while a RESTful HTTP API handles queries. Datasets can be uploaded in RDF4J-supported formats, including RDF/XML, Turtle, N-Triples, N-Quads, JSON-LD, TriG, and TriX. Result formats include JSON, XML, and Binary RDF. Docker images are available for qEndpoint and for a Wikidata-indexed variant supporting wikidata_truthy and wikidata_all datasets. The Docker setup defaults to 6G memory; large datasets are discouraged below 4G, and Wikidata-all requires at least 10G. Installation documentation covers Scoop, Homebrew, and a CLI ZIP release. The project describes Wikibase use and is licensed under GNU GPL v3.
