SuRF

SuRF is a Python library for working with RDF data in an Object-Oriented manner. In SuRF, RDF nodes (subjects and objects) are represented as Python objects and RDF edges (predicates) as their attributes. SuRF is an Object RDF Mapper (ORM), similar in concept to Object Relational Mappers like SQLAlchemy.

The example below shows how to query a resource using the rdflib in-memory backend:

>>> from surf import *
>>> store = Store(reader='rdflib',
...               writer='rdflib',
...               rdflib_store='Memory')
>>> session = Session(store)
>>> store.load_triples(source='http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card.rdf')
True
>>> Person = session.get_class(ns.FOAF.Person)
>>> all_persons = Person.all()
>>> for person in all_persons:
...     print(person.foaf_name.first)
...
