|
9 With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game! |
|
10 |
|
11 CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, that |
|
12 empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing components |
|
13 (called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design principles. |
|
14 |
|
15 Its main features are: |
|
16 |
|
17 * an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application, |
|
18 * a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL, |
|
19 * a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation, |
|
20 * a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs, |
|
21 * the power and flexibility of the Python programming language, |
|
22 * the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial for storage backends. |
|
23 |
|
24 Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today, supporting |
|
25 100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a proven end to |
|
26 end solution for semantic web application development that promotes quality, |
|
27 reusability and efficiency. |
