OpenLink Virtuoso
More specifically, the WebDAV File System Module a/k/a OpenLink Data Spaces (ODS) Layer. ODS is a Data Space Shim built around Virtuoso's WebDAV layer that adheres to Solid conventions of —

- Document Access Controls (or Authorization) — via WebACLS or WAC
- Read-Write Operations on Documents — via HTTP PATCH using
application/sparql-updatepayloads
Minimum installation atop basic Virtuoso (Enterprise Edition only) installation is Virtuoso Authentication Layer (VAL), ODS-Framework, and ODS-Briefcase VADs.
