What Is It?

Nitelight is a graphical query tool that is revolutionising the way queries are built in the Semantic Web. It uses a graph based editor to allow both beginners and experienced users to rapidly build SPARQL queries.

How Does It Work?

Nitelight is a web based application which can be run from compatible web browsers (currently only firefox) and integrated into any website. Using standard libraries and beautiful visuals it is at the cutting edge of semantic query design.

Can I Get It?

You can experience the phenomenon that is Nitelight by trying out the demo, which is available here. If you wish to use nitelight on your own websites or within your own semantic applications, then an open source release is coming soon.
