SPARQL and several graphical query builders for querying the semantic web are based on triples in the underlying RDF model. This has the disadvantage that users have to think about low-level triples, rather than being able to keep their focus on higher-level concepts like entities, relationships and subclass-superclass hierarchies.
The aim of this project is to implement a system that can query the Semantic Web at a higher-level than using SPARQL. This could be done by implementing a functional query language (preferred approach), or by implementing a graphical interface based on an entity-relationship model.
There are possibilities other projects in this area, e.g. generating entity-relationship diagrams from RDFS or OWL descriptions.
The course "Advanced databases" (Chalmers: DAT475, GU: DIT930) is recommended.
