Abstract
The state of the art in programming Semantic Web applications is using complex application programming interfaces of Semantic Web frameworks. Extensive tests are necessary for the detection of errors, although many types of errors could be detected already at compile time. In this chapter, we propose an embedding of Semantic Web languages into the java programming language, such that Semantic Web data and queries are easily integrated into the program code, type safety is guaranteed, and already at compile time, syntax errors of Semantic Web data and queries are reported and unsatisfiable queries are detected.
