ANN: SPARQLScript-based SPARQLBot

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce a new version of SPARQLBot[1], the small 
software wanna-be agent who simplifies access to linked data 
and the general Semantic Web. Based on user-defined commands,
the bot can load and integrate information from various sources 
and return compact, formatted results.

The command base is freely* extensible with custom SPARQLScript[2]
routines. The latter can federate operations to public SPARQL 
endpoints. I'm experimenting with a local cache, some commands 
are using that already.

More info is at [3] and [4]. The code is OS, I'll make it 
available as a Trice component once that is launched (feel free 
to ping me if you are interested in the source already now, it's 
not really documented, though).

Thanks to everyone who created the initial commands, most of them 
have been ported to the new site.

Have fun,
Benji
