(Espoo, 11.1.2005). Profium, ASemantics and HP Laboratories have initiated an
open source effort to provide Java programmers with a JDBC driver to access
SPARQL-enabled metadata repositories.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is in the process of developing the
SPARQL query language and protocol for Resource Description Framework
(RDF) based metadata repositories. The Data Access Working Group (DAWG)
has already delivered first working drafts of the requirements, uses
cases and the query language itself.
A SourceForge-hosted Open Source initiative starts with the development
of portable JDBC driver that will be ready by the time the working group
finishes its work in 2005.
