How Can I send SOAP requests to a Virtuoso SPARQL Endpoint?

The following example presents a sample scenario on how to execute a SPARQL query as a SOAP request to the Virtuoso SPARQL Endpoint.

  1. Assume the following sample SOAP request containing simple SPARQL query: 

    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <soapenv:Body>
      <query-request xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/09/sparql-protocol-types/#">
         <query xmlns="">SELECT DISTINCT ?z FROM virtrdf: {?x ?y ?z .} LIMIT 10</query>
      </query-request>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

  2. Save locally the content from above for ex. to file with the name "soap.xml".
  3. To pass the SOAP request to a Virtuoso SPARQL Endpoint, execute the following curl command: 

    $ curl -d@soap.xml -H "Content-Type:text/xml" -H "SOAPAction: ''" http://localhost:8890/sparql
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soapenv:Body>
    <query-result xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/09/sparql-protocol-types/#">
      <sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/rf1/result2.xsd">
        <head>
         <variable name="z"/>
        </head>
        <results distinct="false" ordered="true">
          <result>
            <binding name="z">

    </query-result>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
