RDFLib is a Python library for working with RDF, a simple yet powerful language for representing information.

The library contains parsers and serializers for RDF/XML, N3, NTriples, Turtle, TriX and RDFa. The library presents a Graph interface which can be backed by any one of a number of store implementations including: memory, MySQL, SQLite, Sleepycat and ZODB.
