JRDF SPARQL GUI

JRDF GUI 0.1 Release. Assuming Java 1.5, just download the jar and double click or type: "java -jar jrdf-gui-0.1.jar". This is what I was talking about recently.

Updated: I have fixed a couple of bugs and re-released the binary. This was to do with loading graphs from the user interface - re-creating the graph each time and making sure the file URI is properly escaped.

Hi Andrew,

I gave it a quick test under Ubuntu Linux. It started up ok first attempt.

I loaded the beer ontology (http://www.schemaweb.info/webservices/rest/GetRDFByID.aspx?id=99). The parser still has trouble parsing that file. It logged an exception, but nothing appeared in the GUI (perhaps a feature for the next release). I was able to select the statements that were successfully loaded.

It looks good and was very easy to use without any instructions. It is nice and simple and appears to be stable for what I was doing. I like it.

Cheers,
Rob

PS: It has a little way to go before it can compete with the TMC :P

I've added a bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1541737&group_id=96347&atid=616053

The GUI isn't fantastic - most of the issues currently revolve around the SPARQL parser - which I'll get to fixing soon and do another release.

The RDF/XML parser I've noticed is usually correct the RDF/XML is usually wrong (like non-absolute resources).

I doubt that JRDF GUI will be a worthy competitor of TMC. Have a look at:
