Web APIs (Application Programming Interface) are a common means for Web portals and data producers to enable HTTP-based, machine-processable access to their data. They are a prominent source of information*
The SPARQL Micro-Service architecture (
In this demo, we wish to showcase the value of SPARQL micro-services in the biodiversity domain. We first query TAXREF-LD, a Linked Data representation of the French taxonomic register of living beings (
Different visualizations are demonstrated, ranging from raw RDF triples to Web pages generated dynamically and integrating heterogeneous data, as suggested in Fig.
Web API, SPARQL, data integration, linked data, JSON-LD
Franck Michel is a research engineer at the University Côte d'Azur, CNRS, France. His research topics notably concern the integration and federation of heterogeneous data sources using Semantic Web technologies, and their publication in the Web of Data.
19,300+ Web APIs are registered on ProgrammableWeb.com as of March 2018.
