RDQL is an implementation of an SQL-like query language for RDF, developed by HP and submitted to W3C for possible recommendation. It treats RDF as data and provides query with triple patterns and constraints over a single RDF model. The target usage is for scripting. The purpose of RDQL is to be used as a model-level access mechanism that is higher-level than an RDF API. Query provides one way in which the programmer can write a more declarative statement of what is wanted and have the system retrieve it. The Snobase team is working to support RDQL as an alternative query language, and its support will be available in its future versions.
