• SPARQL Query Language for RDF
  The RDF Data Access Working Group has released the First Public Working Draft of the "SPARQL Query Language for RDF." SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle") offers developers and end users a way to write and to consume search results across a wide range of information such as personal data, social networks and metadata about digital artifacts like music and images. SPARQL also provides a means of integration over disparate sources. Visit the Semantic Web home page.
