\item{host}{host address for mysql, postgres, or virtuoso storage}

\item{name}{name for the storage object created. Default is usually fine.}
\item{new_db}{logical, default FALSE. Create new database or connect to existing?}
\item{fallback}{logical, default TRUE. If requested storage system cannot initialize,
should \code{rdf()} fall back on memory (default) or throw an error (fallback=FALSE)?}

an rdf object

\description{
Initialize an \code{rdf} Object
}
\details{
an rdf Object is a list of class 'rdf', consisting of
three pointers to external C objects managed by the redland library.
These are the \code{world} object: basically a top-level pointer for
all RDF models, and a \code{model} object: a collection of RDF statements,
and a \code{storage} object, indicating how these statements are stored.
\code{rdflib} defaults to an in-memory hash-based storage structure.
which should be best for most use cases. For very large triplestores,
disk-based storage will be necessary. Enabling external storage devices
will require additional libraries and custom compiling. See the storage
vignette for details.
