Redland implements each of the RDF concepts in its own class via an object based API, reflected into the other language APIs - Perl, Python, Tcl, Java and Ruby. Some of the classes providing the parsers, storage mechanisms and other elements are built as modules that can be added or removed as required.</p> <p>This library is mature and has been used in large systems. See the <a href="TODO.html">todo list</a> or the <a href="http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/TODO.html">website version</a> for an up-to-date copy, and the <a href="FAQS.html">FAQS</a> for more information.
