That should appear as the first +use in a paper and in a reference. After that "Jena" can be used. +It is also a [trademark](https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/#books) +of the Apache Software Foundation. This is also the industry practice. + +The reference should indicate the website +(`https` is preferable). If relevant to reproducibility, or discussing +performance, the release version number **MUST** also be included. The date +of access would also be helpful to the reader. + +You can use names such as “TDB” and “Fuseki” on their own. They are informal +names to parts of the whole system. They also change over time and versions. +You could say “Apache Jena Fuseki” for the triplestore but as the components +function as part of the whole, “Apache Jena” would be accurate. + +The first paper citing Jena is [Jena: implementing the semantic web recommendations](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1013367.1013381). +That only covers the API and its implementation. Some parts of the system +mentioned in that paper have been dropped a long time ago (e.g. the “RDB” +system). The paper is also prior to the move to under the Apache Software +Foundation. It is also good to acknowledge Brian McBride, who started the +project. + +Here is an example of what a citation may look like: + +``` +Apache Software Foundation, 2021. Apache Jena, Available at: https://jena.apache.org/. +```
