+                           Raptor RDF Syntax Library
+
+Dave Beckett
+
+Overview
+
+   Raptor is a free software / Open Source C library that provides a set
+   of parsers and serializers that generate Resource Description Framework
+   (RDF) triples by parsing syntaxes or serialize the triples into a
+   syntax. The supported parsing syntaxes are RDF/XML, N-Quads, N-Triples
+   1.0 and 1.1, TRiG, Turtle 2008 and 2013, RDFa 1.0 and 1.1, RSS tag soup
+   including all versions of RSS, Atom 0.3 and Atom 1.0, GRDDL and
+   microformats for HTML, XHTML and XML. The serializing syntaxes are
+   RDF/XML (regular, abbreviated, XMP), Turtle 2013, N-Quads, N-Triples
+   1.1, Atom 1.0, RSS 1.0, GraphViz DOT, HTML, JSON and mKR.
+
+   Raptor was designed to work closely with the Redland RDF library (RDF
+   Parser Toolkit for Redland) but is entirely separate. It is a portable
+   library that works across many POSIX systems (Unix, GNU/Linux, BSDs,
+   OSX, cygwin, win32).
+
+   A summary of the changes can be found in the NEWS file, detailed API
+   changes in the release notes and file-by-file changes in the ChangeLog.
+
+   Details of upgrading from Raptor 1 as described in the Upgrading
+   document.
+     * Designed to integrate well with Redland
+     * Parses content on the web if libcurl, libxml2 or BSD libfetch is
+       available.
+     * Supports all RDF terms including datatyped and XML literals
+     * Optional features including parsers and serialisers can be selected
+       at configure time.
+     * Language bindings to Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby when used via
+       Redland
+     * No memory leaks
+     * Fast
+     * Standalone rapper RDF parser utility program
+
+   Known bugs and issues are recorded in the Redland issue tracker or at
+   GitHub issues for Raptor.
+
+Parsers
+
+  RDF/XML Parser
+
+   A Parser for the standard RDF/XML syntax.
+     * Fully handles the RDF/XML syntax updates for XML Base, xml:lang,
+       RDF datatyping and Collections.
+     * Handles all RDF vocabularies such as FOAF, RSS 1.0, Dublin Core,
+       OWL, DOAP
+     * Handles rdf:resource / resource attributes
+     * Uses libxml XML parser
+
+  N-Quads Parser
+
+   A parser for the RDF 1.1 N-Quads - A line-based syntax for an RDF
+   datasets, W3C Candidate Recommendation, 05 November 2013. This is an
+   extension to N-Triples, providing an optional 4th context graph term at
+   the end of the line when a triple is associated with a named graph.
+
+  N-Triples Parser
+
+   A parser for the RDF 1.1 N-Triples - A line-based syntax for an RDF
+   graph, W3C Candidate Recommendation, 05 November 2013 (aka N-Triples
+   2013) based on the older N-Triples.
+
+  Turtle Parser
+
+   A parser for the Turtle Terse RDF Triple Language W3C Candidate
+   Recommendation, 19 February 2013 based on earlier work Turtle Terse RDF
+   Triple Language (2004)
+
+  TRiG Parser
+
+   A parser for the RDF 1.1 TriG RDF Dataset Language.
+
+   The parser does not support the entire 1.1 TRiG specification; the '{'
+   ... '}' around a graph and the GRAPH keyword may not be omitted.
+
+  RSS "tag soup" parser
+
+   A parser for the multiple XML RSS formats that use the elements such as
+   channel, item, title, description in different ways. Attempts to turn
+   the input into RSS 1.0 RDF triples. True RSS 1.0, as a full RDF
+   vocabulary, is best parsed by the RDF/XML parser. It also generates
+   triples for RSS enclosures.
+
+   This parser also provides support for the Atom 1.0 syndication format
+   defined in IETF RFC 4287 as well as the earlier Atom 0.3.
+
+  GRDDL and microformats parser
+
+   A parser/processor for Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of
+   Languages (GRDDL) syntax, W3C Recommendation of 2007-09-11 which allows
+   reading XHTML and XML as RDF triples by using profiles in the document
+   that declare XSLT transforms from the XHTML or XML content into RDF/XML
+   or other RDF syntax which can then be parsed. It uses either an XML or
+   a lax HTML parser to allow HTML tag soup to be read.
+
+   The parser passes the all the GRDDL tests as of Raptor 1.4.16.
+
+   The parser also handles hCard and hReview using public XSL sheets.
+
+  RDFa parser
+
+   A parser for RDFa 1.0 (W3C Recommendation 14 October 2008) and RDFa 1.1
+   (W3C Recommendation 07 June 2012) implemented via librdfa linked inside
+   Raptor. librdfa was, written primarily by Manu Sporny of Digital Bazaar
+   and is licensed with the same license as Raptor.
+
+   As of Raptor 2.0.8 the RDFa parser passes all of the RDFa 1.0 test
+   suite except for 4 tests and all of the RDFa 1.1 test suite except for
+   30 tests.
+
+Serializers
+
+  RDF/XML Serializer
+
+   A serializer to the standard RDF/XML syntax as revised by the W3C RDF
+   Core working group in 2004. This writes a plain triple-based RDF/XML
+   serialization with no optimisation or pretty-printing.
+
+   A second serializer is provided using several of the RDF/XML
+   abbreviations to provide a more compact readable format, at the cost of
+   some pre-processing. This is suitable for small documents.
+
+  N-Quads Serializer
+
+   A serializer for the RDF 1.1 N-Quads -A line-based syntax for an RDF
+   datasets, W3C Candidate Recommendation, 05 November 2013. This is an
+   extension to N-Triples, providing an optional 4th context graph term at
+   the end of the line when a triple is associated with a named graph.
+
+  N-Triples Serializer
+
+   A serializer for the RDF 1.1 N-Triples - A line-based syntax for an RDF
+   graph (aka N-Triples 2013) based on the earlier N-Triples syntax as
+   used by the W3C RDF Core working group for the RDF Test Cases.
+
+  Atom 1.0 Serializer
+
+   A serializer to the Atom 1.0 syndication format defined in IETF RFC
+   4287.
+
+  JSON Serializers
+
+   Two serializers for to write triples encoded in JSON:
+    1. json: in a resource-centric abbreviated form like Turtle or
+       RDF/XML-Abbreviated as defined by: RDF 1.1 JSON Alternate
+       Serialization (RDF/JSON), W3C Working Group Note, 07 November 2013
+    2. json-triples: a triple-centric format based on the SPARQL results
+       in JSON format.
+
+   JSON-LD is not supported - too complex to implement.
+
+  GraphViz DOT Serializer
+
+   An serializer to the GraphViz DOT format which aids visualising RDF
+   graphs.
+
+  RSS 1.0 Serializer
+
+   A serializer to the RDF Site Summary (RSS) 1.0 format.
+
+  Turtle Serializer
+
+   A serializer for the Turtle Terse RDF Triple Language W3C Candidate
+   Recommendation, 19 February 2013
+
+  XMP Serializer
+
+   An alpha quality serializer to the Adobe XMP profile of RDF/XML
+   suitable for embedding inside an external document.
+
+  mKR Serializer
+
+   A serializer for the mKR (my Knowledge Representation) Language
+
+Documentation
+
+   The public API is described in the libraptor.3 UNIX manual page. It is
+   demonstrated in the rapper utility program which shows how to call the
+   parser and write the triples in a serialization. When Raptor is used
+   inside Redland, the Redland documentation explains how to call the
+   parser and contains several example programs. There are also further
+   examples in the example directory of the distribution.
+
+   To install Raptor see the Installation document.
