[Ann] FedX 1.0 - Federation SAIL

We are happy to announce FedX 1.0 - an open source framework for federated
query processing over distributed Linked Data sources.

FedX allows to easily setup on-demand federations by specifying a list of
relevant datasets (e.g. SPARQL endpoints from the LOD cloud) and to query
these in an efficient and transparent way as a virtually combined dataset.

Implemented as a Sesame SAIL, FedX can be used in Java applications or via
an easy-to-use command line interface.

For more information and downloads, please see http://www.fluidops.com/FedX.

FedX core features:

* Virtual integration of heterogeneous Linked Data sources (e.g. as SPARQL
endpoints)
* Transparent access to data sources through a federation
* On-demand federation setup without preprocessing
* Fast and effective query execution due to new optimization techniques for
federated setups
* Practical applicability & easy integration as a Sesame SAIL
* Comprehensive CLI for federated query processing from the command line

We welcome your feedback and comments.

On behalf of the FedX team,
Peter Haase
