Versa -- discussion of Versa, a query language for RDF
About Versa	English (USA)
Versa is a query language for RDF. There are many other query languages for RDF, and the W3C is working on a proposed standard, SPARQL. Many of us have tried these other languages and found them unsuitable. Versa is designed to be a simple, direct view of RDF's graph model, and to be integrated into other programming languages and systems. It is inspired in many ways by XPath, the very successful query language for XML. For now the Versa home page is: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/rdf/versa/ This list is a replacement from the older RIL list, which has been disabled. The RIL archives are still available, at http://lists.fourthought.com/pipermail/ril/ To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Versa Archives.
