All Superinterfaces:

RDFHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRDFWriter
```
public interface RDFWriter
extends RDFHandler
```
An interface for RDF document writers. To allow RDF document writers to be created through reflection, all implementing classes should define at least two public constructors: one with an OutputStream argument and one with an Writer argument.
