Modern software applications increasingly benefit from accessing the multifarious and heterogeneous Web of Data, thanks to the use of Web APIs and Linked Data principles. In previous work the authors proposed a platform to develop applications consuming Linked Data in a declarative and modular way. This paper describes in detail the functional language the platform gives access to, which is based on SPARQL (the standard query language for Linked Data) and on the dataflow paradigm. The language
