LBDserver API

Documentation for the LBDserver project running on the Solid Community Server. LBDserver is a project for managing Linked Building Data, using both RDF and non-RDF resources. To make the LBDserver infrastructure federated, we base upon on the (WIP) Community Solid Server prototype. Note that both the CSS as this API functions are still higly experimental. The API is used, amongst others, in the LBDserver frontend conSOlid prototype.

Installation

Install the package with NPM:

$ npm install lbd-solid
