We are happy to announce FedX 1.0 - an open source framework for federated query processing over distributed Linked Data sources.
FedX allows to easily setup on-demand federations by specifying a list of relevant datasets (e.g. SPARQL endpoints from the LOD cloud) and to query these in an efficient and transparent way as a virtually combined dataset. Implemented as a Sesame SAIL, FedX can be used in Java applications or via an easy-to-use command line interface. For more information and downloads, please see http://www.fluidops.com/FedX. FedX core features: * Virtual integration of heterogeneous Linked Data sources (e.g. as SPARQL endpoints) * Transparent access to data sources through a federation * On-demand federation setup without preprocessing * Fast and effective query execution due to new optimization techniques for federated setups * Practical applicability & easy integration as a Sesame SAIL * Comprehensive CLI for federated query processing from the command line We welcome your feedback and comments. On behalf of the FedX team, Peter Haase
