Chimera

Chimera is a framework built on Apache Camel for defining semantic data transformation pipelines. It provides Camel components for creating, manipulating, and querying RDF knowledge graphs, and for executing template-based data transformations powered by the mapping-template library.

Components

Component	Artifact	Description
Graph (`graph://`)	`camel-chimera-graph`	Create and manipulate RDF graphs: load triples, run SPARQL queries, apply inference, validate with SHACL, and serialize output.
Mapping Template (`mapt://`)	`camel-chimera-mapping-template`	Execute Apache Velocity templates against data from RDF graphs, XML, JSON, CSV, or SQL sources. Supports both lifting (structured data → RDF) and lowering (RDF → structured data).

Note

camel-chimera-mapping-template includes camel-chimera-graph as a transitive dependency. You do not need to add both.
