RSP4J: An API for RDF Stream Processing.

The RDF Stream Processing (RSP) community has proposed several models and languages for continuously querying and reasoning over RDF streams over the last decade. They each have their semantics, making them hard to compare. The variety of approaches has fostered both empirical and theoretical research and led to the design of RSPQL, i.e., a unifying model for RSP. However, an RSP API for the development under RSPQL semantics was still missing. RSP community would benefit from an RSP API because it can foster comparable and reproducible research by providing programming abstractions based on RSPQL semantics. Moreover, it can encourage further development and in-use research. Finally, it can stimulate practical activities such as tutorials, lectures, and challenges, e.g., during the Stream Reasoning Workshop.
