RDFAgents supports the publish-subscribe messaging pattern for RDF streams. Its "flavor" of pub-sub is comparable to PubSubHubbub (and thereby sparqlPuSH) and XMPP Publish-Subscribe, with some important differences:

  • As it is based on FIPA's Subscribe interaction protocol, it is transport-agnostic. HTTP, XMPP, and other transport-level protocols are supported.
  • It is tailored to RDF content.
  • It is a content-based system, in which clients first describe they content they're interested in, then receive notifications of matching content.
