rdfox-rs

Embedded Oxford Semantic Technologies RDFox database for Rust programs.

• Downloads RDFox zip file (to your target directory)
• Generates bindings from CRDFox.h using bindgen (which requires llvm to be installed)
• Links to dynamic link library libRDFox.dylib (if you use feature rdfox-dylib)
• Links to the static RDFox library by default
• Requires an RDFox license (see https://www.oxfordsemantic.tech/product)
  • Copy license to ~/.RDFox/RDFox.lic
• Provides a higher level rust-friendly interface over the C-API

Status

• Works with both dynamic and static link library
• All the basics work
• RDFox API logging does not work when linking with static library (issue in progress)

Plans

• Make high-level interface more abstract so that it can also be used for remote endpoints using REST calls and potentially any other triple store product.
  • Core components that are RDFox-independent have already been moved to the rdf-store-rs crate

Version

The major/minor version numbers of this crate are used to determine which version of RDFox needs to be downloaded and used.

How to run the tests

shell RUST_LOG=info cargo test

Or, if you want to see all output:

shell RUST_LOG=trace cargo test --package rdfox --test load load_rdfox -- --exact --nocapture

If you want to run the tests with the dynamic link library of RDFox, then run this:

shell RUST_LOG=trace cargo test --package rdfox --features rdfox-dylib --test load load_rdfox -- --exact --nocapture
