YASGUI: Web-based SPARQL client with bells ‘n wistles

Source: Data2Semantics

A few months ago Laurens Rietveld was looking for a query interface from which he could easily query any other SPARQL endpoint.

But he couldn’t find any that fit my requirements:

• Work on all endpoints conforming to the SPARQL protocol (not just the CORS enabled ones)
• Nice / easy to use interface
• Cross-platform (preferably a web interface)
• Query highlighter / syntax checker
• Namespace prefix autocompletion (through http://prefix.cc)

So he decided to make his own!

Give it a try at: http://aers.data2semantics.org/yasgui/

Future work (next year probably):

• extend it with functionality such as predicate autocompletion, and
• integration with the mondeca ‘endpoint status’ catalog (instead of ckan)

Comments are appreciated (including feature ideas / bug reports).
