Sparql Clipboard
Posted by Ian Davis at June 9, 2006 04:08 PM
Benjamin Nowack has produced an intriguing demonstration of a live web clipboard with a twist. The twist is that the data to be copied isn't embedded in the web page, instead it there's a reference to a Sparql server from which that data can be obtained. When you copy a snippet using your browser's normal clipboard function a unique identifier for the snippet and a link to the Sparql service are copied. When you subsequently paste, the code passes the identifier to the service and it's the results of that lookup that are pasted. This really is a novel idea and would certainly work extremely well with our directory which provides a Sparql lookup for each resource listed. Even better, Benjamin's demo uses embedded RDF to describe the copyable snippets
