Still in its very infancy but hopefully it can be something to consider. I personally think the Semantic Web community desperately needs a simpler protocol for querying RDF, along side SPARQL. I have nothing against SPARQL, it's an important standard to have. But something simpler and RESTful needs to be part of the Semantic Web stack. > > The entire web community is used to consuming APIs as simple HTTP requests (REST). Would you imagine GitHub, Flickr, or any other web-service API actually exposing SQL instead of their RESTful API? It would make things a bit more complicated for third-parties in my opinion, but more importantly it would make things so much more complicated for services to implement. > > I would love to think what the community thinks about this. > > Best, > Luca
