qEndpoint
qEndpoint is a free, open-source RDF triple store for hosting and querying RDF data.
What qEndpoint is
qEndpoint is a free, open-source RDF triple store for hosting and querying RDF data. It supports full-text search and GeoSPARQL, and can run as a standalone SPARQL endpoint or as a dependency in another application. Users can write and execute SPARQL queries through its GUI or send queries through a RESTful HTTP API; the project lists SPARQL 1.1 support. Datasets can be uploaded in formats supported by RDF4J, including RDF/XML, Turtle, N-Triples, N-Quads, JSON-LD, TriG, and TriX. Query results can be returned as JSON, XML, or Binary RDF. Docker images are available for qEndpoint and for qEndpoint with a Wikidata index; the latter supports wikidata_truthy and wikidata_all datasets. Memory requirements vary: the Docker README sets 6G by default, advises against less than 4G for large datasets, and gives a minimum of 10G for Wikidata-all. Installation is documented through Scoop and Homebrew, and a CLI ZIP release asset is available. The README describes use with Wikibase and says Kohesio and QAnswer use qEndpoint. It is licensed under GNU General Public License v3 with a notice.
Good
- Supports full-text search and GeoSPARQL.
- Offers a GUI and RESTful query API.
- Supports SPARQL 1.1.
- Accepts several RDF formats.
- Docker image options include a Wikidata index.
Watch out
- Wikidata-all requires at least 10G of memory.
- Large datasets are discouraged below 4G of memory.
- The Docker configuration defaults to 6G of memory.
- Provided as-is without warranty.
Who it suits
qEndpoint suits developers or organizations that need to host RDF data and query it through SPARQL or an HTTP API. Its Docker options and Wikidata index may fit self-hosted deployments with sufficient memory.
Verdict
qEndpoint offers RDF storage with SPARQL, full-text, and GeoSPARQL capabilities, plus multiple deployment paths. Review the stated memory requirements for your dataset before deployment.
