Jena Model Editor

The Jena Model Editor is a Swing-based GUI window that provides a simple Turtle (N3)-based editor and inspector for Jena models. It’s useful for developing GUI applications that store their data in Jena models. Want to know what statements one of your models currently contains without sprinkling System.out.println calls through your code? Want to add a few statements to test something without having to restart you application? Then JME is for you.

How it works: Download jme.jar and put it on the classpath. Then call this where you set up an interesting model:

ModelEditor.open(myModel);

How it looks:

What it can do:

  • Show current contents of the model as Turtle
  • Import Turtle into the model
  • Add or remove Turtle snippets from the model
  • Add or remove namespace prefixes
  • Basic Turtle syntax checking (well, it takes you to the first error it finds)
  • Notices concurrent modifications to the model
