[edit] What it does

  • takes the URL of an rdf/xml document, passes it through http://convert.test.talis.com, and returns json within a specified callback function.
  • retrieves publicly available data, usually in the form of RDF/JSON, or SPARQL/JSON from the Talis Platform
    • list of available stores
    • /items search on a store
    • /services/sparql on a store
    • /services/multisparql on a store
    • the queue of pending jobs for a store (RDF/JSON representation of /jobs)
    • available snapshots of a store (RDF/JSON representation of /snapshots)


[edit] What it Doesn't Do

  • Access areas of the platform that require authentication
  • POST data to the platform (it's read only)

[edit] How it works

Download jQuery http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery

Download http://n2.talis.com/svn/playground/kwijibo/js/Talis.jQuery.plugin/trunk/Talis.jQuery.js (or point a script tag in your document head to that URL).

Reference the two scripts with script tags in your html - reference the jQuery library first: 

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://n2.talis.com/svn/playground/kwijibo/js/Talis.jQuery.plugin/trunk/jquery.js"></script>

$.Talis.stores(callback);  // retrieves RDF/JSON and passes 
						  // the data object as the first argument to the callback function
						
$.Talis.list_stores(callback); //retrieves a flat array of store names, passing it to the callback

$.Talis.Convert(url, callback); // url should be of a valid rdf/xml document
					
$.Talis.Store(store_name); // returns a Store object;

$.Talis.Store(store_name).sparql(query, callback);
$.Talis.Store(store_name).multisparql(query, callback);
$.Talis.Store(store_name).items(query, callback, url_params); // url_params are, optionally,
 		                                             // a hash with the keys max, offset and sort
$.Talis.Store(store_name).jobs(callback);
$.Talis.Store(store_name).snapshots(callback);
