The goal of rSPARQLanything is to provide an interface to SPARQL Anything, 
a system for Semantic Web re-engineering that allows users to query anything with SPARQL. It uses a single generic abstraction for all data source formats called Facade-X. This meta-model used by SPARQL Anything transformers to generate RDF data (a widely used data representation model that forms the cornerstone  of the Semantic Web) from diverse data sources. Intuitively, Facade-X uses a subset of RDF as a general approach to represent the source content as-it-is but in RDF. The package interface takes inspiration from the Python 'pysparql-anything' library.

> The development work has not started yet. This repository initialises an
