# LV2 plugins are installed in a ``bundle'', a directory with a standard

 # structure.  Each bundle has a Turtle file named `manifest.ttl` which lists

 # the contents of the bundle.

 #

 # Hosts typically read the manifest of every installed bundle to discover

 # plugins on start-up, so it should be as small as possible for performance

 # reasons.  Details that are only useful if the host chooses to load the plugin

 # are stored in other files and linked to from `manifest.ttl`.

 #

 # ==== URIs ====

 #

 # LV2 makes use of URIs as globally-unique identifiers for resources.  For

 # example, the ID of the plugin described here is

 # `<http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp>`.  Note that URIs are only used as

 # identifiers and don't necessarily imply that something can be accessed at

 # that address on the web (though that may be the case).

 #

 # ==== Namespace Prefixes ====

 #

 # Turtle files contain many URIs, but prefixes can be defined to improve

 # readability.  For example, with the `lv2:` prefix below, `lv2:Plugin` can be

 # written instead of `<http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core#Plugin>`.

 @prefix lv2:  <http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core#> .

 @prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .

 # ==== Describing a Plugin ====

 # Turtle files contain a set of ``statements'' which describe resources.

 # This file contains 3 statements:

 # [options="header"]

 # |================================================================

 # | Subject                             | Predicate    | Object

 # | <http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp>  | a            | lv2:Plugin

 # | <http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp>  | lv2:binary   | <amp.so>

 # | <http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp>  | rdfs:seeAlso | <amp.ttl>

 # |================================================================

 # Firstly, `<http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp>` is an LV2 plugin:

 <http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp> a lv2:Plugin .

 # The predicate ```a`'' is a Turtle shorthand for `rdf:type`.

 # The binary of that plugin can be found at `<amp.ext>`:

 <http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp> lv2:binary <amp.so> .

 # This file is a template; the token `@LIB_EXT@` is replaced by the build

 # system with the appropriate extension for the current platform before

 # installation.  For example, in the output `manifest.ttl`, the binary would be

 # listed as `<amp.so>`.  Relative URIs in manifests are relative to the bundle

 # directory, so this refers to a binary with the given name in the same

 # directory as this manifest.

 # Finally, more information about this plugin can be found in `<amp.ttl>`:

 <http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp> rdfs:seeAlso <amp.ttl> .

 # ==== Abbreviation ====

 #

 # This file shows these statements individually for instructive purposes, but

 # the subject `<http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp>` is repetitive.  Turtle

 # allows the semicolon to be used as a delimiter that repeats the previous

 # subject.  For example, this manifest would more realistically be written like

 # so:

 <http://lv2plug.in/plugins/eg-amp>

 	a lv2:Plugin ;

 	lv2:binary <amp.so>  ;

 	rdfs:seeAlso <amp.ttl> .
