JAWS: A Javascript API for the Efficient Testing and Integration of Semantic Web Services

Semantic Web Services (SWS) hold a lot of potential to the future of the Semantic Web. In this area, a number of tools have been developed to facilitate their definition and deployment. Our goal is to support an efficient means of testing and integration within a browser-based solution. For this purpose we propose JAWS (Javascript, AJAX, Web Service) : A Javascript API to facilitate the testing and integration of SWS. This software decouples the process of SWS integration and development through facilitation of the AJAX/REST paradigm. By leveraging metaprogramming and deep integration techniques we support Web 2.0 inspired applications in the context of complete browser-based development.
