Hi Andy, Thank you very much for the quick response. I already followed the discussion under the JIRA bug report and did some background research on that. Also, I found a useful tutorial [1] to get background knowledge on SPARQL and used twinkle tool to test queries.
As for the related projects, currently I'm doing an internship at WSO2 org [2] and these days we are contributing to a project to implement a QA portal [3]. Please take a look into that. So for now I'll do some further research on JSON-LD and try to build the Jena codebase and get familiar with it. Thank you again for the guidance. -Thanks Dammina PS : I did not participate for GSoC 2013 :) [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/#introduction [2] http://wso2.com/ [3] https://github.com/catchsudheera/qa_portal On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 6:26 PM, Andy Seaborne <[email protected]> wrote: > On 24/02/14 09:37, Dammina Sahabandu wrote: > >> Hi, >> I'm Dammina Sahabandu, a Computer Engineering Undergraduate at University >> of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
