6 |cubicweb| - The Semantic Web is a construction game! |
|
7 ===================================================== |
|

|
9 |cubicweb| is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, |
|
10 that empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing |
|
11 components (called `cubes`) and following the well known object-oriented design |
|
12 principles. |
|
13 |
|
14 Its main features are: |
|
15 |
|
16 * an engine driven by the explicit :ref:`data model |
|
17 <TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationDataModel>` of the application, |
|
18 |
|
19 * a query language named :ref:`RQL <RQL>` similar to W3C's SPARQL, |
|
20 |
|
21 * a :ref:`selection+view <TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationCustomViews>` |
|
22 mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation, |
|
23 |
|
24 * a library of reusable :ref:`components <Cube>` (data model and views) that |
|
25 fulfill common needs, |
|
26 |
|
27 * the power and flexibility of the Python_ programming language, |
|
28 |
|
29 * the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial |
|
30 for storage backends. |
|
31 |
|
32 Built since 2000 from an R&D effort still continued, supporting 100,000s of |
|
33 daily visits at some production sites, |cubicweb| is a proven end to end solution |
|
34 for semantic web application development that promotes quality, reusability and |
|
35 efficiency. |
|

|
37 The unbeliever will read the :ref:`Tutorials`. |
|
38 |
|
39 The hacker will join development at the forge_. |
|
40 |
|
41 The impatient developer will move right away to :ref:`SetUpEnv` then to :ref:`ConfigEnv`. |
|
42 |
|
43 The chatter lover will join the `jabber forum`_, the `mailing-list`_ and the blog_. |
