Making GUIs SPARQL

Slide 2: Motivation

• There are many public web resources:
  • CSV, JSON, and other "data silos"
  • Linked Data (eg, SPARQL endpoints)

• However, using them can be a challenge.
  • Few examples of working apps.
  • Not everyone is a programmer.

• So, let's collaborate!

Slide 3: Overview

• Find a hospitable collaboration platform.
  (eg, GitHub)

• Start with their server-side technology.
  (eg, GitHub Pages, Jekyll)

• Add development tools, as needed.

• Add nifty client-side technology.

• Write cool recipes!

Slide 4: Technology Mix

The current technology mix includes:

• Development support
  (eg, Git, GitHub, Jekyll, Ruby, YAML)

• Template languages
  (eg, Handlebars, Liquid, Markdown)

• JavaScript libraries
  (eg, CoffeeScript, D3, jQuery)

• Semantic Web languages
  (eg, JSON-LD, SPARQL, Turtle)
