Integration of RDF Processing into a Programming Language

Semantic Web enables semantic-level processing on real world information, and is often used for context information format in pervasive computing environments. Conventionally, application developers manage Semantic Web data in a general purpose programming language through related APIs. However, such a traditional approach has known drawbacks-the generated code is liable to be spoiled with tedious sequences of method invocations with quite long actual parameters. We propose a simplified way of light-weight Semantic Web data management by suggesting a Java-based script language equipped with new facilities of direct management of RDF (Resource Description Format) data. We expect using this language to yield shorter and less erroneous codes and to accelerate development cycles, in implementing Semantic Web data management software.
