Preface

This chapter gives an overview of using Topaz for new users. It'll show you an example of how a simple application can be written that can store and retrieve graphs and blobs using Topaz as well as show you how free-text search and Semantic search can be integrated.

Important

This tutorial expects the user to have knowledge of RDF. If you are new or uncomfortable with RDF, it is advised that you start with RDF Primer prior to attempting to learn Topaz.
