# Redland RDF Library Perl Binding

## Dave Beckett

## Overview

Redland is a library that provides a high-level interface for the Resource Description Framework (RDF) allowing the RDF graph to be parsed from XML, stored, queried and manipulated. Redland implements each of the RDF concepts in its own class via an object based API, reflected into language APIs. Several classes providing functionality such as for parsers, storage are built as modules that can be loaded at compile or run-time as required.

The redland-perl package provides the higher level language APIs to Redland in Perl. For further information see the Redland Perl documentation
