Dear Semi Structured Data Enthusiasts, we are today pleased to announce version 1 of Sparallax Sparallax is an adaptation of the FreeBase Parallax to use SPARQL endpoints. Thanks to a proxy and query translation modules (SPARQL to MQL and results translated back), Sparallax is minimally invasive to the original code of Freebase Parallax and will be maintained in parallel in the same SVN repository. Due to requirements of query functionalities and aggregates, Sparallax currently only works on Virtuoso SPARQL endpoints. (do other triplestores have aggregates? if so please let us know and we'll try to support other syntaxes as well) Sparallax allows faceted browsing of very large and complex SPARQL datasets. More than this it allows moving from sets of resources to other sets which are related through properties Try sparallax on our test datasets or put just the URL of your SPARQL endpoint (but make sure you have materialized your RDFs triples, it's needed) http://sparallax.deri.ie/ (please dont forget to visit the original parallax site, to watch that original screencast in case you didn't already) Big thanks to David Huynn for the support All credits must go to Nishant Jaint (Development) and Michele Catasta (Supervision) Giovanni
