Project Brainstorming

This page contains initial ideas on the Xturtle project

Project Goal

The final goal is to provide an eclipse based UI for editing turtle files, featuring code completion, navigation, hover info, code folding etc.

The initial phase will evaluate the feasibility of using the Xtext framework for creating the editor. We will implement a prototype having the core features. Not all language features defined in the official Turtle Grammar definition may be supported. If you miss a feature, feel free to submit an issue (with an example, please).

Scope

The editor is intended for prototyping and editing small files, not for browsing RDF dumps. For several - including performance - reasons, we will not load resources dynamically from the web. All the vocabulary you need will have to be present as turtle files in your workspace.

Preliminaries

As some committers have no prior experience with RDF, terminology used in the documentation may not be precise to begin with and will have to stabilize over time. The brainstorming section in particular is not to be read as stating facts, but conjectures that serve as basis for discussion.
