jQuery.Talis is a plugin for the popular javascript library jQuery. It acts as a wrapper around the talis convert service, for retrieving json, through jsonp, from the Platform.

You can read about it on the n2 wiki and download it from the n2 svn.

You can use it like this:

$.Talis.Store('schema-cache').sparql('DESCRIBE ',
      function(data){
        $("#Person h1").html(data['http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person']['http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#'][0].value);
});

(This would fetch a description of the foaf:Person class from the http://api.talis.com/stores/schema-cache store, and insert the rdfs:label into the DOM.)

I don’t want to declare this stable yet, but it is usable in it’s current form (I use it in the SIOC Comments Widget). The size currently comes in at ~4k without any compression or minification. So far, it’s only been tested in Firefox, Safari and Opera, so reports of cross-browser problems, and any other bugs, would be appreciated.
