| Integrations | The platform documentation describes integrations with GraphDB, Elasticsearch, FusionAuth, Kong, MongoDB, Grafana, InfluxDB, and Telegraf. | RDFox was made available on AWS Marketplace through a DataLens partnership with pay-as-you-go deployment and connectors for SQL, CSV, XML, JSON, REST and unstructured data. |
| Security | Authentication and role based access controls can be configured using FusionAuth, Kong, Semantic Objects RBAC, and GraphDB authorization; these controls are not enabled by default. | RDFox v7.0 added encryption at rest and client-certificate authentication using mutual TLS for endpoint and remote-shell requests. |
| Support | Platform support is available at [email protected]. | Oxford Semantic Technologies says it aims to reply to contact messages within two working days and provides an RDFox Community Slack channel. |

RDFox
RDFox is a main-memory data store for centralized RDF graphs, queried with SPARQL 1.1. It represents rules and ontological axioms with Datalog, OWL 2 and SWRL, and updates rule consequences as data changes; it can process 2–3 million new-fact inferences per second. Its supported knowledge-graph technologies include RDF, SPARQL 1.1, Datalog, SWRL, OWL 2 RL and SHACL. Java applications can connect through a native API, or RDFox can run as a standalone server through a REST API. Import and export formats include CSV, JSON, N-Triples, Turtle, TriG and OWL 2 Functional-Style Syntax. It can replicate knowledge and data changes across servers to maintain service during an outage, and deployments are described for cloud, on-premises, on-device and edge use. RDFox runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. Security features include encryption at rest, mutual-TLS client-certificate authentication and OpenID Connect single sign-on. Pricing is on request; the free 30-day evaluation license is restricted to evaluation and non-commercial use.
