3store version 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For installation instructions see INSTALL.

3store is an RDF(S) storage system designed to allow efficient queries over
large amounts of RDF data. It is released under the GPL.

Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rasqal 0.9.11  http://librdf.org/rasqal/
Raptor 1.4.8   http://librdf.org/raptor/
Glib   2.2.0+
MySQL  4.1+ *

* NB if your mysql client library version doesnt match the server version you
  may encounter problems when running some queries.

Status
~~~~~~
This is a beta release of 3store version 3, many features are untested and
currently scalability is untested. 

Several SPARQL features are known to be unsupported, including:
   * Nested OPTIONAL blocks (results are undefined)
   * Nested UNION blocks    (results are undefined)
   * FROM and FROM NAMED    (not implemented until I have a security system)
   * Case sensitive regex matches.
                            (run without case sensitivity for now)

Usage Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once this package has been installed the following tools may be used (see the
man pages for documentation)
   * ts-setup    create a new RDF store
   * ts-import   import an RDF file into a store
   * ts-remove   remove the contents of an RDF file from a store
   * ts-query    query an RDF store
   * ts-util     various useful maintainance tasks

A PHP script (php/index.php) is included which provides an implementation of
the SPARQL protocol and results format.
