V0.93 announcement 16 Jan 2006ARQ - Implements the SPARQL query language for
Jena - License: BSD. Stable releases now part of the Jena distributions (binary, documentation) while continuing development releases as a separate system (code, documentation).
Joseki - Implements the SPARQL protocol - License: BSD. Implements both HTTP and SOAP versions of the SPARQL protocol.
Rasqal - Implements the SPARQL query language for Redland (C) - License: LGPL/GPL2/Apache2.0.
Redland Bindings provides interfaces to it in at least perl, php, python, ruby and others.
Rasqal demo using the perl interface.

sparql-p, a SPARQL API in Python, distributed as part of
RDFLib,
version 2.2.2 and higher. This is an updated version of an
older version of sparql-p which was a separate package on top of RDFLib. The separate version is now deprecated. An effort to include a parser of the SPARQL query language, with a mapping on sparql-p, has been
completed.

KAON2 OWL-DL and SWRL inference engine with SPARQL support.
Pellet Complete OWL-DL inference engine with SPARQL support, including for non-distinguished variable. The
Web Demo has some SPARQL examples.
Corese Corese stands for Conceptual Resource Search Engine. It is an RDF engine based on Conceptual Graphs (CG). It enables the processing of RDF Schema and RDF statements within the CG formalism, provides a rule engine and a query engine accepting the SPARQL syntax. See
discussion of SPARQL features and extensions supported. non-commercial use license to java binaries.
IBM Integrated Ontology Development Toolkit(IODT) support SPARQL query of ontology instances. IODT is a toolkit for ontology-driven development. This toolkit includes EMF Ontolgy Definition Metamodel (EODM), EODM workbench, and an OWL Ontology Repository (named Minerva). The Minerva is a high-performance OWL ontology storage, inference, and query system based on RDBMS and it supports SPARQL query language.
OpenLink Virtuoso supports SPARQL, and SPARQL embedded in SQL, for querying RDF data stored in Virtuoso's Object-Relational Database. In Virtuoso, SPARQL benefits from low-level support in the core engine via features such as; SPARQL aware type casting rules and a dedicated IRI data type. The
Virtuoso RDF Triple Store is the fastest developing functionality realm of Virtuoso at the current time. Virtuoso Open Source (license: GPL) and Commercial Editions (version 4.5.2) are now Available.
ARC is "a lightweight, SPARQL-enabled RDF system for mainstream Web projects. It is written in PHP and has been optimized for shared (or otherwise performance- or privilege-limited) Web environments." by

D2R Server, turns relational databases into SPARQL endpoints, based on Joseki
TopQuadrant's TopBraid Composer, is a complete standards-based platform for developing, testing and maintaining Semantic Web applications. Testing, consistency checking and debugging is supported by a bundled version of Pellet.
JRDF comes with a SPARQL GUI and is based on mapping relational operations to RDF. Supports only a subset of SPARQL: PREFIX, pattern matching, UNION, join (.) and OPTIONAL.
Grammars and Parsers for SPARQLARQ - Contains a JavaCC grammar
sparql.jjARC SPARQL Parser - PHP parser for SPARQL by Benjamin Nowack. License: W3C Software License. Builds a structure representing the query from the syntax. Has some limitations: "does not process collections, and it has not been tested against the DAWG test cases yet... the embedded Turtle parser may have some limitations as well." 2005-12-16.
RDFLib's
BisonGen-based
parser which is implemented as a Python/C extension which builds a library of SPARQL syntax objects.
SPARQL "Endpoints"
These endpoints offer a URI with a SPARQL service that can be accessed using the
SPARQL Protocol spec, and return XML and/or JSON.
