Jeneabean: if you know java beans you can read and write RDF
thursday 15:35 - 16:25
Jenabean (http://jenabean.googlecode.com) makes reading and writing RDF from java simple. It is backed by Jena, HP's full featured open source semantic web framework for Java. It provides a bean based programming model, as well as a polymorphic interface driven approach that hides the complexities of Jena programming. In the last 5 minutes we'll code a simple app that saves, retreives, and queries for entities usnig jenabean.
Semantic Web Programming for Java Developers
thursday 14:15 - 15:05
Java developers have several open source tools available that allow them to develop semantic web applications, applications that create or consume linked data as RDF. This seminar will breifly introduce the concept of linked data and quickly transition to practical advice and knowhow all in the context of Java. Real working software built on these technologies will be shared and discussed, such as http://geosparql.appspot.com and jenabean, an open source implementation of the JPA for Jena
