Hi Kingsely, we are a bit unsure about your complaint, please clarify, do you mean to say that sparallax give that user agent when trying to connect to an external sparql endpoint? we tried and got the user agent of the browser. Not sure how it is important to use a user agent instead of another when making a request to a sparql endpoint anyway. In terms of what sparallax is for well i think a pretty interesting use for Sparallax is that of installing it on the same servers as LOD datasets and offereing it to the users as way to browse the entire dataset via textual search and filtering/hopping from set to set. This as opposed to (on top of) the simple click and browse currently offered which does nothing but mimiking the normal document web. (its completely impossible to explain to anyone what the power is). With sparallax this becomes clear, you can search via text, then browse, refine link etc. if you have your sparql endpoint it all comes for free! :-) nothing else to install but a simple .. Javascript (and a php file, ok) Cheers! Giovanni > Giovanni, > > Please relay the following to whoever performed this port: > > Please unshackle the HTTP URIs of the "Things" mentioned in the page.
