I followed Aldo Bucchi's suggestion to look at the Virtuoso server documentation. I missed your previous e-mail but regarding SPARQL results inclusion on client side, you may also be interested in SPARCool: http://sparcool.net It allows JSONP callbacks to easily include results in your webpages, see the last example of the previous link.

While I could get client-side JavaScript to recognize the payload as XML, I wasn't able to target its contents with XPath. If anyone has an working example of unpacking a SPARQL XML object with XPath in client-side JavaScript, I would appreciate seeing it. > > Thanks, Terry > > Terrence Brooks > Information School > University of Washington > Voice: 206 543-2646 > Fax: 206 616-3152 > E-mail: tabrooks@u.washington.edu > Web: http://faculty.washington.edu/tabrooks/ > > > >
