Hi all,
Just letting you know that there is a public instance of grlc available at
[1]. No more hard-coded queries in your Linked Data consuming applications!
grlc [5], inspired by tools like BASIL [4], is a small server that converts
your SPARQL queries into Linked Data APIs, automatically and on the fly. To
do this, it assumes that your SPARQL queries are publicly available in a
GitHub (or similar) repository. For example, queries stored in
https://github.com/CLARIAH/wp4-queries have their equivalent API at
http://grlc.io/api/CLARIAH/wp4-queries/api-docs
(notice the user and repository names in the URIs). You can call API
endpoints by e.g. http://grlc.io/api/CLARIAH/wp4-queries/datasets
Full details are described in this paper [2].
The latest additions include a docker-based deployment, parameter
enumerations, result pagination, and compatibility with #LD servers, RDF
dumps, and HTML+RDFa pages (besides SPARQL endpoints).
We would be pleased to hear from your experiences on using grlc: bugs,
performance, use cases, feature requests, etc. grlc's issue tracker can be
found at [3].
Thanks,
Albert
