# Carl: Another Rule Language | ||
|
||
Carl is a tool for parsing [N3](http://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/n3/) files and outputting the resulting triples in "N3P" format. | ||
"N3P" is a RDF/rules serialization format used by the [EYE Reasoner](http://github.com/josd/eye). | ||
"N3P" is a RDF/rules serialization format used by the [Eye reasoner](http://eulersharp.sourceforge.net/). | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
`carl [-b=base-uri] [-o=output-file] [input-files]` | ||
|
||
* `-b=baseUri` the base URI to use when resolving relative URIs. | ||
* `-o=output-file` where the results are written, write to stdout when omitted. | ||
* `input-files` the N3 input files to process, read from stdin when omitted. | ||
* `input-files` the Turtle input files to process, read from stdin when omitted. | ||
|
||
## Limitations | ||
|
||
* '@' keywords are not supported, with the exception of '@prefix' and '@base'. | ||
* The rules for matching terminal symbols do not follow the team submission, but are adapted to match the Turtle and SPARQL grammar terminals. | ||
* Variables are not allowed outside of rules. | ||
* Literals and blank nodes are not allowed as property. | ||
|
||
* Variables are not allowed outside of graphs. | ||
* Literals, lists and graphs are not allowed as property. |
