R&Wbase (read: rawbase) enables the Read-Write Web. It is an interpretation layer on top of Triple Stores, that offers versioning to its interfaces (e.g., SPARQL endpoint).

Features

Versioning on live triples

Branching

SPARQL 1.1 Support

Console access

Software Release

The current implementation of R&Wbase is based on a modified Fuseki-Virtuoso setup.

With R&Wbase you will be able to commit to a local branch, you will be able to push towards a remote, or pull from a remote and so on and so forth. It brings the same innovation that Git brought to software development towards data.
