Resource description framework (rdf) is a standard model for data interchange on the web.

rdf::trine provides an rdf framework with an emphasis on extensibility, api stability, and the presence of a test suite.

rdf::trinex::functions provides some shortcut functions for rdf::trine. it is a replacement for the venerable rdf::trineshortcuts. not a drop-in replacement. it has fewer features, fewer dependencies, less hackishness, less magic and fewer places it can go wrong.
