SemREST is a Java framework for the semantic extension of RESTful Web Services.

SemREST is open source and grown out of a master thesis at the University of Hannover.

The SemREST Framework:

• simplification of data transmission mainly in RDF - but also in other formats (generically requests/responses) for HTTP-operations GET, PUT, POST and DELETE
• simple bijective mapping of RDF graphs and Java instances
• simple mapping of RDF graphs on Java interfaces (implying automatic interface implementation)
• extraction of RDFa data from HTML content (via HTTP GET Request)
