More cool SPARQL+AJAX stuff

From Christoph Görn: A little query form for some SIOC. The cool thing is that results are displayed instantly while you type. (Try typing the names of some Planet RDF authors, e.g. “Tim” or “Dan”.) Who says that RDF stuff has to be slow? OK, it’s just a toy dataset, but I still like it.

The Javascript-powered UI queries the backend server over SPARQL. The server is ARC, which seems to be a great choice for quick-and-dirty SPARQL endpoints on commodity PHP/MySQL webspace (SPARQL endpoint recipe from Benjamin Nowack here).

SPARQL and AJAX are a killer combination.
