Apache Jena is an open source Java-based framework for building Semantic Web and Linked Data applications. It includes an RDF SPARQL data publishing server, Apache Jena Fuseki. The Apache Jena developer community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Jena 3.0.0. This is a major release and is not a drop-in replacement for Jena 2.13.0 Some changes to application code are likely to be needed. Major changes: * Package renaming Packages with a base name of "com.hp.hpl.jena" become "org.apache.jena". Vocabularies are not affected. * RDF 1.1 Semantics for plain literals "abc" and "abc"^^xsd:string are the same RDF term in RDF 1.1. Persistent data (TDB, SDB) should be reloaded, especially data that uses the explicitly typed xsd:string form. * Java8 is required. For more details, please see http://jena.apache.org/documentation/migrate_jena2_jena3.html There are also several significant contributions to the Jena text indexing module including deletion support and multi-language support.
