Re: natural language visual interface for SPARQL

Thank you Hugh

(while trying out the other services offered)

thanks a lot,  looks neat and simple, and hides complexity, which is good.

 thinking of some kind of middle layer to simplify and some extent
perhaps automate the complexity of the querying task, so that it does
not require a highly skilled and experienced individual to put
together a dynamic output

can an interface be created to guide an inexperienced user to
articulate this complexity and automate the process of publishing some
dynamic output that you show

thinking  expert system in the web service domain
