## Package org.eclipse.rdf4j.sail Description

RDF Storage And Inference Layer (RDF Sail): a set of interfaces defining an API for RDF repositories. The main interface is `Sail`, which defines methods for initialization, querying and starting transactions. Queries are expressed in the Sail query model, which can be found in sub-package `org.eclipse.rdf4j.sail.query`.
