grlc Makes GitHub Taste Like Linked Data APIs

چکیده
Building Web APIs on top of SPARQL endpoints is becoming a common practice to enable universal access to the integration favorable dataspace of Linked Data. However, the Linked Data community cannot expect users to learn SPARQL to query this dataspace, and Web APIs are the most common way of enabling programmatic access to data on the Web. However, the implementation of Web APIs around Linked Data is often a tedious and repetitive process. Recent work speeds up this Linked Data API construction by wrapping it around SPARQL queries, which carry out the API functionality under the hood. Inspired by this, in this paper we present grlc, a lightweight server that translates SPARQL queries curated in GitHub repositories to Linked Data APIs on the fly.

SPARQL2Git: Transparent SPARQL and Linked Data API Curation via Git
In this demo, we show how an effective and application agnostic way of curating SPARQL queries can be achieved by leveraging Git-based architectures. Often, SPARQL queries are hard-coded into Linked Data consuming applications. This tight coupling poses issues in code maintainability, since these queries are prone to change to adapt to new situations; and query reuse, since queries that might b...
متن کاملAutomatic Query-Centric API for Routine Access to Linked Data
Despite the advatages of Linked Data as a data integration paradigm, accessing and consuming Linked Data is still a cumbersome task. Linked Data applications need to use technologies such as RDF and SPARQL that, despite their expressive power, belong to the data integration stack. As a result, applications and data cannot be cleanly separated: SPARQL queries, endpoint addresses, namespaces, and...
متن کاملWYSIWYQ - What You See Is What You Query
Existing Linked Data browsing user interfaces (UIs) allow users who are not familiar with Semantic Web technologies to explore interlinked datasets by generating SPARQL queries behind the scenes. This is analogous to the well-known WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) paradigm, which generates the required markup in the background based on the user interactions. Nonetheless, and contrarily to...
متن کاملFunctional Composition of Sensor Web APIs
Web apis are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to the more heavy-weight Web services. Recently, they also have been used in the context of sensor networks. However, making different Web apis (and thus sensors) cooperate often requires a significant amount of manual configuration. Ideally, we want Web apis to behave like Linked Data, where data from different sources can be combined i...
متن کاملLinked Web APIs Dataset Web APIs meet Linked Data
Web APIs enjoy significant increase in popularity and usage in the last decade. They have became the core technology for exposing functionalities and data. Nevertheless, due to the lack of semantic Web API descriptions their discovery, sharing, integration, and assessment of their quality and consumption is limited. In this paper, we present the Linked Web APIs dataset, an RDF dataset with sema...
