WEBINAR: GraphQL
Bringing the Worlds of JSON and RDF Together

To accommodate attendees in different time zones, this webinar will be offered on June 21, 2018 at 9:00 AM EDT and on June 29, 2018 at 4:00 PM EDT.


We invite you to register for the time best suited to your location Thanks!

The Webinar will introduce the new GraphQL capabilities of TopBraid 6.0. GraphQL was designed by Facebook as an easy-to-use syntax for querying and updating data. GraphQL uses JSON and is increasingly popular as an alternative to REST for building web applications and exposing web APIs. It is enjoying a growing support across many tools and platforms.



TopBraid 6.0 includes a ground-breaking implementation of GraphQL that combines the richness and flexibility of W3C semantic technology standards with the simplicity and elegance of GraphQL. In this webinar you will learn how:
  • Every asset type defined in TopBraid EDG now has an out-of-the-box GraphQL API
  • TopBraid's GraphQL implementation uses schema definitions (expressed in either SHACL or the GraphQL schema language) to generate rich GraphQL APIs for RDF data, with model-driven features to select, filter, aggregate, dynamically compute and page query results
  • Clients can use these features to describe the structure and semantics of the JSON data that they want to extract from RDF graphs, and then send back the produced JSON to perform updates on RDF graphs
  • SHACL constraints can be used to validate the GraphQL updates before they are applied
  • GraphQL can be used as a compact language for SHACL
  • Use of RDF and SHACL enriches GraphQL capabilities
