The Sesame2 adapter for ActiveRDF connects ActiveRDF with the Sesame2 RDF store.

Benefits and disadvantages

Using Sesame2 through this adapter has the following benefits :

* Good performance, because java code is used for all communication
* Support for RDF Schema inferencing
* Support for quads/named graphs (as soon as I get around to implementing them in the adapter)

The disadvantages currently are:

* Requires installation of jruby and manual setting of the Java CLASSPATH
* No OWL inferencing (but on other ActiveRDF adapter currently has this anyway)
* No support for a database backend (Sesame2 uses its own native storage 
interanlly, which is recommended anyway)

The adapter uses Sesame 2 Alpha 4, which is distributed as a jar inside this gem.
