Hi all, Yesterday, at the 2nd Linked Data London Meetup, Dave Reynolds, Jeni Tennison and myself ran a workshop introducing some work we've been doing around a "Linked Data API". The API is intended to be a middle-ware layer that can be deployed in-front of a SPARQL endpoint, providing the ability to create a RESTful data access layer for accessing the RDF data contained in the triple store. The middle-ware is configurable, and is intended to support a range of different access patterns and output formats. "Out of the box" the system provides delivery of the standard range of RDF serialisations, as well as simple JSON and XML serializations for descriptions of lists of resources. The API essentially maps parameterized URLs to underlying SPARQL queries, mediating the content negotiation of the results into a suitable format for the client. The current draft specification is at: http://purl.org/linked-data/api/spec And there is now a mailing list available at: http://code.google.com/p/linked-data-api/ We'd be interested in your feedback. Please join the list if you're interested in discussing the API specification or collaborating on the work and implementations. Cheers, L. -- Leigh Dodds Programme Manager, Talis Platform Talis leigh.dodds@talis.com http://www.talis.com
