Accessing Data Through Web Services

It is possible to access Nomisma linked data through a variety of web services, either about individual concepts or any class of object integrated into Nomisma’s SPARQL endpoint.

Individual Concepts

Nomisma supports delivery of individual concepts in a variety of models and serializations through both REST and content negotiation. Content negotiation (with the accept header) requests should be sent to the URI space http://nomisma/id/. Requesting an unsupported content type will result in an HTTP 406: Not Acceptable error.
