Figure 113. SPARQL querying VB
The checkbox at the bottom left of the query area Include inferred statements sets a parameter in
the query so that it includes or ignores triples inferred by reasoner from the search space.
The two buttons at the bottom right Clear and Submit allow respectively for cleaning the query
area and for submitting the query.
The UI engine behind this interface is based on Flint14, an open source web editor for SPARQL
offering syntax completion and highlighting. In VB, Flint has been customized to interact more
deeply with the underlying data. For instance, by hitting CTRL+SPACEBAR at the top of a query, a
list of suggestions will come up through a contextual menu .
