查询公式是信息检索的一个关键方面，有助于提高许多语义应用程序的效率和可用性。许多查询语言，如SPARQL，已经为语义Web开发出来；然而，到目前为止，在创建和编辑语义查询方面支持最终用户的工具还很少。在本文中，我们介绍了NITELIGHT，一个基于web的基于W3C SPARQL规范的语义查询构建图形工具。NITELIGHT结合了许多特性来支持终端用户创建SPARQL查询。其中包括一个列式本体浏览器、一个交互式图形设计界面、一个SPARQL兼容的可视化查询语言、一个SPARQL语法查看器和一个集成语义查询结果浏览器。本文描述了每个组件的功能。此外，我们还讨论了NITELIGHT工具对规则创建/编辑和语义集成功能的潜在贡献。
Query formulation is a key aspect of information retrieval, contributing to both the efficiency and usability of many semantic applications. A number of query languages, such as SPARQL, have been developed for the Semantic Web; however, there are, as yet, few tools to support end users with respect to the creation and editing of semantic queries. In this paper we introduce NITELIGHT, a Web-based graphical tool for semantic query construction that is based on the W3C SPARQL specification. NITELIGHT combines a number of features to support end-users with respect to the creation of SPARQL queries. These include a columnar ontology browser, an interactive graphical design surface, a SPARQL-compliant visual query language, a SPARQL syntax viewer and an integrated semantic query results browser. The functionality of each of these components is described in the current paper. In addition, we discuss the potential contribution of the NITELIGHT tool to rule creation/editing and semantic integration capabilities.
