Exemplo SPARQL
--------------

require 'activerdf'
local cp = activerdf.ConnectionPool
cp.add_data_source { type = 'sparql', engine = 'virtuoso', url = '...' }

local ns = activerdf.Namespace
local foaf = ns.register ( 'foaf', 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' )

local people = foaf.Person:find_all()
for _, person in ipairs(people) do
	print(person.nick)
end

Exemplo RDFLite
---------------

require 'activerdf'
local cp = activerdf.ConnectionPool
local db = cp.add_data_source{ type = 'rdflite', location = 'test.db' }
db:load('lua/activerdf_rdflite/test/test_data.nt')

local M = activerdf.Modules
local om = activerdf.ObjectManager
om.construct_classes()

local people = M.HTTP_ACTIVERDF_ORG_TEST.Person:find_all()
for _, person in ipairs(people) do
	print(person.name)
end

local eyal = activerdf.RDFS.Resource ( 'http://activerdf.org/test/eyal' )
print (eyal.age) -- 27
eyal.age = 30
print(eyal.age) -- 30

----------------------------------------------
Observe que a API é idêntica à do www.activerdf.org, sendo necessário apenas as mudanças na sintaxe.

Ex.:	
Ruby ActiveRDF
--------------			
eyal = RDFS::Resource.new 'http://activerdf.org/test/eyal'
puts eyal.nick	
puts eyal.test::age
all_resources = RDFS::Resource.find_all
Namespace.register :foaf, 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/'
mauricio = FOAF::Person.find_by_nick 'mauricio'

Lua ActiveRDF
-------------
local eyal = activerdf.RDFS.Resource ( 'http://activerdf.org/test/eyal' )
print ( eyal.nick )
print ( eyal.test.age )
local	all_resources = activerdf.RDFS.Resource:find_all()
local FOAF = activerdf.Namespace.register ( 'foaf', 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/' )
local mauricio = FOAF.Person:find_by_nick('mauricio')

Observe que o separador :: do ruby é sempre convertido para ponto. Toda as classes e módulos do activerdf são referenciadas usando "activerdf.".
