SWISH: An Integrated Semantic Web Notebook

SPARQL editors like Yasgui [6] make it easier to write and inspect their results. Notebooks like Jupyter/IPython [5] already support computerand data scientists in domains like statistics and machine learning. There is currently not an integrated notebook solution for Semantic Web programming that combines the strengths of SPARQL editors with the benefits of notebooks. The challenge is that Semantic Web formalisms are mostly logic-based and declarative, which does not always align naturally with imperative programming paradigm. SWISH takes a different approach by presenting an integrated notebook experience to the Semantic Web programmer that uses a declarative programming paradigm (SWI) as an integration layer.
