RedStore
RedStore is a free, self-hosted RDF triplestore written in C with the Redland library. It provides a built-in HTTP server and interface for loading and querying RDF data. Supported standards include SPARQL 1.0 Query, SPARQL 1.1 Protocol for RDF, SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol, and SPARQL 1.1 Service Description. The project describes support for a wide range of RDF formats, including Turtle. Storage modules can use hashes, MySQL, memory, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or Virtuoso when contexts are supported; hashes is the default. A URI can be loaded at startup, or RDF files can be sent with HTTP PUT. The /sparql endpoint works with the SPARQL Query Tool, and rdfproc supports offline operations. Redland is the only listed runtime dependency, with minimum versions for raptor2, rasqal, and redland. Installation uses configure, make, and make install. RedStore runs on Linux and macOS, offers API use, and has a Mac OS X app.
