+abstract: >-
+  SPARQL engines continue to diverge in the versions and
+  language extensions they support. With SPARQL 1.2 nearing
+  completion and the working group’s plans toward future
+  maintenance, this divergence is likely to grow. As a
+  result, language tools that aim to support multiple SPARQL
+  versions and dialects face increasing maintenance costs.
+  Furthermore, areas such as SPARQL federation become harder
+  to manage. To address these challenges, we introduce
+  Traqula, a modular TypeScript-based framework for parsing,
+  transforming, and generating SPARQL queries. This article
+  presents Traqula’s architecture and its builder-based
+  dependency-injection design, and we show how these
+  components provide modular support for SPARQL 1.1 and 1.2
+  parsing and generation. Traqula enables round-tripping,
+  supports generic algebraic and AST transformations, and
+  delivers significantly faster parsing compared to current
+  JavaScript-based SPARQL parsing. Traqula’s modular
+  architecture enables flexible experimentation for
+  researchers, and it is production-ready thanks to
+  extensive testing and modern development techniques.
+  Looking forward, Traqula lays the groundwork for
+  supporting additional query languages, developing generic
+  rewriting modules for SPARQL federation engines, and
+  building robust tooling for an increasingly diverse SPARQL
+  ecosystem.
