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.
