Rapid Semantic Web Mashup Development through Semantic Web Pipes [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The use of RDF data published on the Web for applications is still a cumbersome and resource-intensive task due to the limited software support and the lack of standard programming paradigms to deal with everyday problems such as combination of RDF data from different sources, object identifier consolidation, ontology alignment and mediation or plain querying and processing tasks. While in a lot of other areas such tasks are supported by excellent libraries and component-oriented toolboxes of basic processing functionalities, RDF-based Web applications are still largely customized programs for a specific purpose, with little potential for reuse. This increases development costs and incurs a more error-prone development process. Speaking in software engineering terms, this means that a good standard architectural style with good support for rapid application development is still missing. In this paper we present a framework based on the classical abstraction of pipes which tries to remedy this problem and support the fast implementation of software, while preserving desirable properties such as abstraction, encapsulation, component-orientation, code re-usability and maintainability, which are common and well supported in other application areas.
