Hi,
is there any preferred way to cite Apache Jena in a publication, preferably
in BibTeX?
Best regards,

Hi Jakub, thank you for asking.
You've done the right thing already.
The name of the project is "Apache Jena".
The first use in a paper, and use in a reference, should be that. Then
"Jena" can be used. It's a trademark of the Apache Software Foundation
[1]. This is also the industry practice.
The reference should indicate the website https://jena.apache.org/.
(https please!). If relevant to, say, reproducibility of results, it'll
need to include the release version number. The date would be helpful to
the reader.
It is not "TDB" or "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.
