Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libghc-swish-doc on Debian 9.

What is libghc-swish-doc

libghc-swish-doc is:

Swish is a framework for performing deductions in RDF data using a variety of techniques. Swish is conceived as a toolkit for experimenting with RDF inference, and for implementing stand-alone RDF file processors (usable in similar style to CWM, but with a view to being extensible in declarative style through added Haskell function and data value declarations). It explores Haskell as “a scripting language for the Semantic Web”.

Swish is a work-in-progress, and currently incorporates:

  • Turtle, Notation3 and NTriples input and output. The N3 support is incomplete (no handling of @forAll).
  • RDF graph isomorphism testing and merging.
  • Display of differences between RDF graphs.
  • Inference operations in forward chaining, backward chaining and proof-checking modes.
  • Simple Horn-style rule implementations, extendable through variable binding modifiers and filters.
  • Class restriction rule implementation, primarily for datatype inferences.
  • RDF formal semantics entailment rule implementation.
  • Complete, ready-to-run, command-line and script-driven programs.

This package contains the library documentation for swish.
