SPARQL (cont.)

• There are also SPARQL “endpoints” on the Web:

• • send a query and a reference to data over HTTP GET, receive the result in XML or JSON
  • • some of those can be easily installed on any machine
  • big datasets often offer “SPARQL endpoints” to their local data
  • applications may not need any direct RDF programming any more, just use a SPARQL processor

• SPARQL can also be used to construct graphs!
