Protocols SPARQL Protocol, HTTP/REST

Fuseki exposes the SPARQL 1.1 Query/Update and Graph Store protocols over HTTP, plus a separate, distinctly non-SPARQL HTTP Administration Protocol (/$/ping, /$/datasets, /$/backup, /$/stats) for server and dataset management, which justifies keeping HTTP/REST alongside SPARQL Protocol against pass_B's drop of it.

Released 2010-10

Fuseki's first preview release predates the current value's 2011-12 date, which reflects Jena's Apache incubation announcement rather than Fuseki's own first release. Corrected.

  • The first SPARQL Server called Fuseki was mentioned on 12 October 2010 (and with a reference on 9 October 2010 on jena-devel@lists.sourceforge.net) as a preview release for a SPARQL 1.1 server.
