How to build SPARQL queries in java?

Question

Is there a library, which is able to build SPARQL queries programmatically like the CriteriaBuilder in JPA or to build the queries like with a PreparedStateme

Answer 1

I have just released a beta project to do just this, called Spanqit.

I strove for readability and an intuitive interface, for example, here is some example Spanqit syntax for creating a query:

query.prefix(foaf).select(name)
    .where(x.has(foaf.iri("name"), name))
    .orderBy(name)
    .limit(5)
    .offset(10);
