Appbase

Reusable foundation for java RDF applications that provide a web UI or web API or both. Not a replacement to Ruby or client side JavaScript for serious UIs but suited to applications with management UIs (e.g. data converters) or with straightforward requirements (e.g. UKGovLD registry).

• Data access. Provides simple abstraction for accessing RDF data sources to ease switching between memory, TDB and remote sources. Mostly there to support ...
• Data wrapper. Wrappers to simplify access to RDF data from UI scripts. Supports cached access to labels/descriptions of resources for rendering.
• Template UI. Easy velocity based rendering.
• Actions. Configurable asynchronous tasks.
