`CubicWeb` - The Semantic Web is a construction game!

=====================================================

`CubicWeb` is a semantic web application framework that empowers developers

to efficiently build web applications by reusing components (called `cubes`)

and following the well known object-oriented design principles.

Its main features:

* an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application, 

* a query language similar to W3C's SPARQL, 

* a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation, 

* a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs,

* the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,

make `CubicWeb` a mature end to end solution for web 

application development that promotes quality, reusability and 

efficiency.
