An RDFReader factory inferface.

The factory will create an appropriate writer for the particular serialization language being read. Predefined languages include:

• RDF/XML - default
• RDF/XML-ABBREV
• N-TRIPLE
• N3

System wide defaults for classes to use as readers for these languages are defined. These defaults may be overwridden by setting a system property with a name of the form com.hp.hpl.mesa.rdf.jena.readers. to the class name.
