Jassa - A JavaScript suite for SPARQL-based faceted search
نویسندگان
چکیده
The availability of SPARQL endpoints on the Web provides interesting opportunities for rapid Web application development. However, sophisticated applications need components that can adopt to the data, yet, the efficient generic exploration and visualization of data contained in those endpoints is still challenging. In this paper, we present the “JAvascript Suite for Sparql Access” (Jassa) framework, which features various abstractions and utilities for the creation and transformation of SPARQL queries, as well as the processing of corresponding result sets. The current highlights comprise modules for RDF, SPARQL, data access, conversion of result sets to objects and faceted browsing, together with corresponding user interface components based on AngularJS.

Scalewelis: a Scalable Query-based Faceted Search System on Top of SPARQL Endpoints
This paper overviews the participation of Scalewelis in the QALD-3 open challenge. Scalewelis is a Faceted Search system. Faceted Search systems refine the result set at each navigation step. In Scalewelis, refinements are syntactic operations that modify the user query. Scalewelis uses the Semantic Web standards (URI, RDF, SPARQL) and connects to SPARQL endpoints.
متن کاملReconciling faceted search and query languages for the Semantic Web
Faceted search and querying are two well-known paradigms to search the Semantic Web. Querying languages, such as SPARQL, offer expressive means for searching RDF datasets, but they are difficult to use. Query assistants help users to write well-formed queries, but they do not prevent empty results. Faceted search supports exploratory search, i.e., guided navigation that returns rich feedbacks t...
متن کاملSPARQL Faceter - Client-side Faceted Search Based on SPARQL
The faceted search paradigm is widely used in web applications, and there are various tools available for implementing it on the server side. In contrast, this paper presents an HTML based component tool on the client side that can be plugged on virtually any public SPARQL endpoint on the web, using only SPARQL API for data retrieval. To test and demonstrate the idea and the tool, application o...

متن کاملExpressive and Scalable Query-Based Faceted Search over SPARQL Endpoints
Linked data is increasingly available through SPARQL endpoints, but exploration and question answering by regular Web users largely remain an open challenge. Users have to choose between the expressivity of formal languages such as SPARQL, and the usability of tools based on navigation and visualization. In a previous work, we have proposed Query-based Faceted Search (QFS) as a way to reconcile...
