Magic SPARQL endpoints
Instant triplestores for testing and exploration, prepopulated with the RDF/Turtle data that is inlined in the SPARQL endpoint URLs.
How it works
- You enter some RDF data in the Turtle format.
- The tool generates a URL that directly embeds the RDF data with some additional metadata (serialized, compressed, URL-encoded).
- The generated URL is a functional SPARQL endpoint that can be used to query the data stored in the virtual triplestore.
Use cases and implications
When you only need a quick triplestore to do some testing or experiment with SPARQL, it's much easier to use these "magic" SPARQL endpoints than to spin up a regular triplestore or graph database.
Since the data and configuration are stored in the URL itself (similar to how data URIs encapsulate their content), every individual URL corresponds to an immutable (read-only) triplestore that's been seeded with the data from the URL.
