LITEQ : Language Integrated Types , Extensions and Queries for RDF Graphs

In order to program with RDF data, one needs to deal with challenges concerning the integration of one or several RDF data sources into a host programming language. LITEQ allows for exploring an RDF data source and mapping the data schema and the data itself from this RDF data source into the programming environment for easy reuse by the programmer. Core to LITEQ is a novel kind of path query language, NPQL, that allows for both extensional queries returning data and intensional queries returning class descriptions. While NPQL has limited expressivity compared to SPARQL it has been conceived for supporting interactive data source exploration with an autocompletion semantics for incomplete queries in order to support the programmer at development time.
