[Bigdata-developers] - Editor; web SPARQL administration console

[Jean-Marc V. <jea...@gm...>]

Hi

Bigdata does not work with Flint Sparql Editor, a JavaScript application.
I investigated here in this issue:
https://github.com/TSO-Openup/FlintSparqlEditor/issues/5

Note that the advantage of Flint over the BigData console is that it offers
completion on prefixed URI's by typing Control-space .

In general, it is too bad that each Sparql server implementation comes with
its own implementation of a web console : BigData, Jena TDB, and others.
Indeed, a web SPARQL administration console is something that has few
server specific features and many SPARQL generic features.
Moreover, having a nice SPARQL administration tool is important for the
acceptance of semantic technologies. This would be a nice Open Source
project, if it does not already exist !

Among the features laking in Bigdata workbench:

   1.  completion on prefixed URI's
   2.  modify or remove a triple
   3. in the explore view
   4.  creation form for a resource of a certain class
   5.  leverage prefix.cc web service to get URI's for prefixes
   6. history of file uploads ( date, file name , size)
   7.
   query construction by analogy, given one or more URI instances selected
   by the user who will check the desired properties
   8. parameterized queries
   9. reuse parameterized queries  as forms whose fields labels come from
   underlying RDF properties.
   10. add to a query a name and comments
   11. dashboard about named graphs; possibility to delete, create them
   12. traceability of admin actions

I guess this would be a post for the swig list ...

P.S.   Where are stored the queries in Bigdata workbench?
