Prototype for query formulation

As the final outcome of our work in the context of the Wisdom project, a prototype for query formulation has been developed in order to prove the validity of the M-FIRE framework [3, 5, 4], and the feasibility of our approach to knowledge representation and exploration. The prototype includes a client module (written in C#) and a server module (written in Java) which communicate through a state-based TCP connection. Many clients can connect to a single M-FIRE server and deliver requests to it. In a typical scenario, clients would ask for a representation of some part of the available knowledge, and the server would reply by returing semantically annotated XHTML pages (the M-FIRE framework can actually support other representation formats than XHTML); after rendering is completed, actions made by the user on such documents will trigger new requests, which are eventually translated into SPARQL queries; the results of the generated queries are processed by the M-FIRE server and translated into a new XHTML document, which is then sent back to the client for rendering.
