An example of a holdings query program using Java and JENA

This tutorial explores how you might integrate data from the Talis Platform Holdings REST API into your Java application.

It uses the libraries provided by the JENA project (an open-source project funded by HP to provide a Semantic Web Framework for Java). You will need to download these from http://jena.sourceforge.net and include them in your project’s classpath in order for the example here to run. JENA will provide us a SPARQL query interface for our Java application.

Our application is going to do one thing in two different ways – provide a machine-to-machine (MMI) style implementation and a human readable implementation of a Holdings data query (by ISBN).
