Sample Applications

A sample application, often referred to as a demo or prototype, is a functional representation of a software program or system that demonstrates its basic features, functionalities, and capabilities. In the context of TED-SWS (TED Semantic Web Services), a sample application would refer to a functional representation of how to access data processed by the system.

Using TED-SWS sample apps may need some of the following:

Understanding of RDF and SPARQL

Familiarity with RDF (Resource Description Framework) and SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is crucial. TED-SWS provides data in RDF format and utilises SPARQL for querying.

Access to a Programming Language

You should have proficiency in a programming language capable of making HTTP requests and processing data. Common choices include Python or R.

Knowledge of Semantic Web Technologies

A basic understanding of Semantic Web concepts and technologies is beneficial. This includes knowledge of RDF triples, ontologies, and linked data principles.

Development Environment

Set up a development environment for your chosen programming language or at least ensure that you have installed MS Excel.

Understanding of EU Procurement Data

If your goal is to work with specific types of EU procurement data, such as contract notices or award notices, it’s important to have a basic understanding of these concepts, and the eProcurement ontology.

The sample applications can be accessed via the menu on the left.
