Hello GNOME Community!
I am Divyansh Jain, a computer science student at IIT Roorkee, India. I also go by my hacker alias, Demigod, whenever I am programming. I really love tech, and any new advancements in technology excite me.
When I’m not programming, I love to cook, sleep, and read about politics.
I’m honored to join the GNOME community as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) contributor this year. I’ll be developing a web-based tool for writing and running SPARQL queries within Tracker (now TinySPARQL). I will be mentored by Carlos Garnacho and Sam Thursfield.
Introducing the Tool
SPARQL is a query language used to retrieve data from databases that store information in a specific format (RDF). This tool aims to simplify writing and running these queries directly in a web browser, eliminating the need for the command line. Additionally, it will present the results in a visually appealing format, enhancing readability and user experience.
Benefits for Everyone
This project will significantly improve the experience for those using libtracker-sparql to interact with RDF databases. By lowering the barrier to entry for newcomers, boosting developer productivity with visual editing, and fostering collaboration through easier query sharing, this web IDE promises a more streamlined workflow.
Looking Forward!
I’m excited for a summer full of learning and collaborating with the GNOME community. Updates on the project’s progress will be shared soon!
