What is RDFox?
RDFox is an advanced knowledge graph database and reasoning engine developed by Oxford Semantic Technologies, stemming from extensive research at the University of Oxford. It specializes in knowledge-based artificial intelligence, employing human-like semantic reasoning to derive insights and build new knowledge from existing data with a focus on accuracy, truth, and explainability. This logic-based approach ensures that conclusions are verifiable and auditable, making it suitable for applications where trust and precision are paramount.
Operating as an in-memory system, RDFox delivers exceptionally high performance, significantly outpacing traditional graph databases in benchmark tests, even when handling billions of triples and complex queries requiring real-time results. Its efficiency allows for scalable deployment options, ranging from large enterprise cloud environments to resource-constrained edge and mobile devices, enabling sophisticated AI capabilities directly on-device with privacy. RDFox supports incremental reasoning, updating knowledge dynamically as data changes, and adheres to the open RDF standard for seamless data integration and interoperability, offering data import options and a RESTful API.
