SPARQLBot

Getting started with SPARQLBot

HOME: semsol.org/semcamp/sparqlbot

A hands-on introduction to SPARQLBot (SB), the Semantic Web command line tool.

SB is an IRC bot available on irc: #sparqlbot (as sparqlbot) and #foaf (as foafbot).
SB can load and query a bunch of Semantic Web formats, be it RDF-based or not (such as µF).
Many commands already exist from low-level stuff to specific tasks.

(ACTION) Launch your IRC client and connect to #sparqlbot

(ACTION) Copy and paste the following commands. Try one after the other and see what happens.
