Evaluator's Guide to Linked Data Deployment This guide will shows how to deploy Linked Data for Objects in an RDF Resource File (physical) or Linked Data Views (Virtual) To include both from references with specific examples for Physical and Virtual Resources to include Mapping Rules the list to consist of: 11 ways to get RDF into Virtuoso SPARQL Optimization Linked Data Deployment 11 ways to get RDF into Virtuoso HTTP Post using Content-Type: application/sparql-query With POST can be accomplished SPARQL Insert/Update etc. The result is in the rdf_quad. With GET Methods you can get the triples which are saved. Examples Example 1 Create a DAV collection xx for user demo with password demo. Execute the following command: curl -i -d "INSERT {<http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User>}" -u "demo:demo" -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query" http://localhost:8890/DAV/xx/yy The response should be: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Server: Virtuoso/05.00.3023 (Win32) i686-generic-win-32 VDB Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 12:50:12 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes MS-Author-Via: SPARQL Content-Length: 0 The result in the DAV/xx location will be a new WebDAV resource with name "yy" containing the following: if opened with Conductor: CONSTRUCT { ?s ?p ?o } FROM <http://localhost:8890/DAV/xx/yy> WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } if opened with GET, then the content will be RDF representation of what was inserted into the graph, i.e. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this"> <ns0pred:type xmlns:ns0pred="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" rdf:resource="http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User"/> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> Example 2 Create a DAV collection, for ex. with name "test" for user ( for ex. demo). Execute the following command: curl -i -d "INSERT IN GRAPH <http://mygraph.com> { <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> . <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> <Kingsley Uyi Idehen> . <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#creator_of> <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com/weblog/kidehen@openlinksw.com%27s%20BLOG%20%5B127%5D/1300> } " -u "demo:demo" -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query" http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/demo/test/myrq As result the response will be: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Server: Virtuoso/05.00.3023 (Win32) i686-generic-win-32 VDB Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:25:25 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes MS-Author-Via: SPARQL Content-Length: 0 Now let's check the inserted triples. Go to the sparql endpoint, i.e. http://localhost:8890/sparql and: Enter for Default Graph URI: http://mygraph.com Enter in the Query area: SELECT * WHERE {?s ?p ?o} Click the button "Run Query" As result will be shown the inserted triples: s p o http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Kingsley http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#creator_of http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com/weblog/kidehen@openlinksw.com%27s%20BLOG%20%5B127%5D/1300 HTTP PUT using Content-Type: application/rdf+xml The URI in a PUT request identifies the entity enclosed with the request. Therefore using HTTP PUT is a more useful and meaningful command than using POST (which is more about submitting data to a script). Example Suppose there is myfoaf.rdf file with the following content: <rdf:RDF xmlns="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#" xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" xmlns:log="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/log#" xmlns:myfoaf="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <foaf:Person rdf:about="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#jose"> <foaf:homepage rdf:resource="http://www.example/jose/"/> <foaf:knows rdf:resource="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#juan"/> <foaf:name>Jose Jimen~ez</foaf:name> <foaf:nick>Jo</foaf:nick> <foaf:workplaceHomepage rdf:resource="http://www.corp.example/"/> </foaf:Person> <foaf:Person rdf:about="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#juan"> <foaf:mbox rdf:resource="mailto:juan@mail.example"/> </foaf:Person> <foaf:Person rdf:about="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#julia"> <foaf:mbox rdf:resource="mailto:julia@mail.example"/> </foaf:Person> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#kendall"> <foaf:knows rdf:resource="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#edd"/> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> Now let's upload the myfoaf.rdf file to destination server demo.openlinksw.com for user demo: curl -T myfoaf.rdf http://demo.openlinksw.com/DAV/home/demo/rdf_sink/myfoaf.rdf -u demo:demo As result the response should be: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>201 Created</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Created</H1> Resource /DAV/home/demo/rdf_sink/ myfoaf.rdf has been created. </BODY> </HTML> SPARQL Insert using LOAD SPARQL INSERT operation can be done using the LOAD feature. Example:Execute from ISQL: sparql insert in graph <http://mygraph.com> { <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Kingsley#this> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> . <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Kingsley#this> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> <Kingsley> . <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Caroline#this> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> . <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Caroline#this> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> <Caroline> . <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Matt#this> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> . <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Matt#this> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> <Matt> . <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/demo#this> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> . <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/demo#this> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> <demo> .}; Create DAV collection which is visible to public, for ex: http://localhost:8890/DAV/tmp Upload to the DAV collection the following file for ex. with name listall.rq and with the following content: PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> PREFIX sioc: <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#> SELECT ?x ?p ?o FROM <http://mygraph.com> WHERE { ?x rdf:type sioc:User . ?x ?p ?o. ?x sioc:id ?id . FILTER REGEX(str(?id), "^King") } ORDER BY ?x Now from ISQL execute the following command: sparql load bif:concat ("http://", bif:registry_get("URIQADefaultHost"), "/DAV/tmp/listall.rq") into graph <http://myNewGraph.com>; As result should be shown: callret-0 VARCHAR _______________________________________________________________________________ Load <http://localhost:8890/DAV/tmp/listall.rq> into graph <http://myNewGraph.com> -- done 1 Rows. -- 321 msec. SPARQL Insert via /sparql endpoint SPARQL INSERT operation can be sent to a web service endpoint as a single statement and executed in sequence. Example Using the Virtuoso ISQL tool or using the /sparql UI at http://host:port/sparql, execute the following: Insert into graph http://example/bookStore 3 triples: sparql insert in graph <http://BookStore.com> { <http://www.dajobe.org/foaf.rdf#i> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> <1999-04-01T00:00:00> . <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> <1998-05-03T00:00:00> . <http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/#me> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> <2001-02-08T00:00:00> }; As result will be shown the message: Insert into <http://BookStore.com>, 3 triples -- done Next we will select all triples from the graph http://example/bookStore: sparql select * from <http://BookStore.com> where {?s ?p ?o}; As result will be shown: s p o VARCHAR VARCHAR VARCHAR _______________________________________________________________________________ http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date 1998-05-03T00:00:00 http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/#me http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date 2001-02-08T00:00:00 http://www.dajobe.org/foaf.rdf#i http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date 1999-04-01T00:00:00 3 Rows. -- 0 msec. Now let's insert into graph another http://NewBookStore.com graph's values: sparql PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> INSERT INTO GRAPH <http://NewBookStore.com> { ?book ?p ?v } WHERE { GRAPH <http://BookStore.com> { ?book dc:date ?date FILTER ( xsd:dateTime(?date) < xsd:dateTime("2000-01-01T00:00:00")). ?book ?p ?v. } }; As result will be shown: callret-0 VARCHAR _______________________________________________________________________________ Insert into <http://NewBookStore.com>, 2 triples -- done Finally we will check the triples from the graph NewBookStore.com: SQL> sparql select * from <http://NewBookStore.com> where {?s ?p ?o}; As result will be shown: s p o VARCHAR VARCHAR VARCHAR _______________________________________________________________________________ http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date 1998-05-03T00:00:00 http://www.dajobe.org/foaf.rdf#i http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date 1999-04-01T00:00:00 2 Rows. -- 10 msec. SPARQL Insert via HTTP Post using Content-Type: application/sparql-query and ODS wiki With HTTP Post and ODS wiki can be written an rdf document and respectively to be performed over it INSERT/UPDATE action. You can write to a file using SIOC terms for ODS-Wiki. You can check with sparql the inserted / updated triples in the Quad Store. Example Suppose there is ODS user test3 with ODS password 1, which has testWiki wiki instance. Execute the following: curl -i -d "INSERT {<http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki> <http://atomowl.org/ontologies/atomrdf#contains> <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#has_container> <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki> <http://atomowl.org/ontologies/atomrdf#entry> <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#container_of> <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#topic> <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://atomowl.org/ontologies/atomrdf#source> <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/types#Comment> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://atomowl.org/ontologies/atomrdf#Entry> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> 'MyTest' . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://atomowl.org/ontologies/atomrdf#Link> . <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#content> <test>}" -u "test3:1" -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query" http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest As result we should have 2 files created: In the user DAV folder "DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki/" will be created a file "MyTest" with type "application/sparql-query". You can view the content of this file from from the Conductor UI or from the user's Briefcase UI, path "DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki".

Using Virtuoso PL APIs Example In the example script we implement a basic mapper which maps a text/plain mime type to an imaginary ontology, which extends the class Document from FOAF with properties 'txt:UniqueWords' and 'txt:Chars', where the prefix 'txt:' we specify as 'urn:txt:v0.0:'. use DB; create procedure DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META ( in graph_iri varchar, in new_origin_uri varchar, in dest varchar, inout ret_body any, inout aq any, inout ps any, inout ser_key any ) { declare words, chars int; declare vtb, arr, subj, ses, str any; declare ses any; -- if any error we just say nothing can be done declare exit handler for sqlstate '*' { return 0; }; subj := coalesce (dest, new_origin_uri); vtb := vt_batch (); chars := length (ret_body); -- using the text index procedures we get a list of words vt_batch_feed (vtb, ret_body, 1); arr := vt_batch_strings_array (vtb); -- the list has 'word' and positions array , so we must divide by 2 words := length (arr) / 2; ses := string_output (); -- we compose a N3 literal http (sprintf ('<%s> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Document> .\n', subj), ses); http (sprintf ('<%s> <urn:txt:v0.0:UniqueWords> "%d" .\n', subj, words), ses); http (sprintf ('<%s> <urn:txt:v0.0:Chars> "%d" .\n', subj, chars), ses); str := string_output_string (ses); -- we push the N3 text into the local store DB.DBA.TTLP (str, new_origin_uri, subj); return 1; } ; -- delete from DB.DBA.SYS_RDF_MAPPERS where RM_HOOK = 'DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META'; insert soft DB.DBA.SYS_RDF_MAPPERS (RM_PATTERN, RM_TYPE, RM_HOOK, RM_KEY, RM_DESCRIPTION) values ('(text/plain)', 'MIME', 'DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META', null, 'Text Files (demo)'); -- here we set order to some large number so don't break existing mappers update DB.DBA.SYS_RDF_MAPPERS set RM_ID = 2000 where RM_HOOK = 'DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META'; To test the mapper we just use /sparql endpoint with option 'Retrieve remote RDF data for all missing source graphs' to execute: select * from <http://demo.openlinksw.com:8890/tutorial/hosting/ho_s_30/WebCalendar/tools/summary.txt> where { ?s ?p ?o } To check the results: Make sure the initial state of tutorial RD S_1 is set.

This should normally be the case. If not, you must manually grant this permission. As with most Virtuoso DBA tasks, the Conductor provides the simplest means of doing this. Using SIMILE RDF Bank API Virtuoso implements the HTTP-based Semantic Bank API that enables client applications to post to its RDF Triple Store. This method offers an alternative to using Virtuoso/PL functions or WebDAV uploads as the triples-insertion mechanism. Example From your machine go to Firefox->Tools->PiggyBank->My Semantic Bank Accounts Add in the shown form: For bank: address: http://demo.openlinksw.com/bank For account id: demo For password: demo Go to http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods Log in as user demo, password: demo Go to the Weblog tab from the main ODS Navigation Click on weblog instance name, for ex. "demo's Weblog". When the weblog home page is loaded, click Alt + P. As result is shown the "My PiggyBank" page with all the collected information presented in items. For several of the items add Tags from the form "Tag" shown for each of them. As result should be shown the message "Last updated: [here goes the date value]. You can also click "Save" and "Publish" for these items. Go to http://demo.openlinksw.com/sparql Enter for the "Default Graph URI" field: http://simile.org/piggybank/demo Enter for the "Query text" text-area: prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> prefix sioc: <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#> select * from <http://simile.org/piggybank/demo> where {?s ?p ?o} Click "Run Query".

Virtuoso Deploying Linked Data Linked data: Describes recommended best practice for exposing & connecting data on the Semantic Web Use the RDF data model Identify real or abstract things (resources) in your ?universe of discourse? (Data Spaces), using URIs as unique IDs Make URIs accessible via HTTP so people can discover and explore these Data Spaces Allow these URIs to be dereferenced and return information Include links to provide ?discovery paths? to entities in other Data Spaces Document Web Resources: In the traditional Document Web: All resources are document-orientated URI dereferencing returns a document Rendered representation is nearly always a document No real distinction between a resource and its representation Such resources have been referred to as ?information resources? Semantic Web Resources: In the Semantic Web: A URI identifies a thing (piece of data) in a data space The identity of a thing is distinct from its address and representation things may have several possible representations the most desirable representation of a thing may change, depending on the consumer (human or software-agent) things may be associated with data at different addresses within a data space Unfortunately, URIs identifying things are generally referred to as ?non-information resources? in AWWW parlance Entity or Object IDs, or Data Source Names, are preferable terms Deployment Challenges: We?ve established that the Semantic Web and Linked Data require: Data access with unambiguous naming Data (de)reference with ambiguous association Or put another way, we need mechanisms for an HTTP server to: Answer the question ?Does this URI identify a (physical) document resource or an (RDF based) abstract entity/thing?? Provide alternative representations of an entity/thing Deployment Challenge Resolution: Two solutions proposed by the SemWeb Community: Distinguish resource type through URL formats ?Hash? vs ?slash? URLs Content negotiation with URL rewriting ?Hash? vs ?Slash? URLs: A solution using the syntax of the URL to differentiate ?abstract? resources from ?information? resources Slash URIs Don?t contain a fragment identifier (#)? Identify document resources in traditional Web E.g. http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI Identifies a physical (X)HTML document Hash URIs Contain a fragment identifier Identify data resources (entities) in Semantic Web E.g. http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this Identifies the entity ALFKI, distinct from its representation Content Negotiation - Example: HTTP Request: HTML browser requests a HTML/XHTML document in English or French GET /whitepapers/data_mngmnt HTTP/1.1 Host: www.openlinksw.com Accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml Accept-Language: en, fr Accept header indicates preferred MIME types RDF browser might instead stipulate a MIME type of application/rdf+xml or application/rdf+n3 HTTP Response: Server redirects to a URL where the appropriate version can be found HTTP/1.1 302 Found Location: http://www.openlinksw.com/whitepapers/data_mngmnt.en.html Redirect is indicated by HTTP status code 302 (Found)? Client then sends another HTTP request to the new URL HTTP defines several 3xx status codes for redirection Deploying Linked Data Using Virtuoso: Virtuoso?s approach is to implement the generic solution outlined so far, using Content negotiation URL rewriting Virtuoso includes a Rules-based URL Rewriter Can be used to inject Semantic Web data into the Document Web URL Rewriting Example: URI dereferenced by RDF browser client <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI> or <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this> becomes after rewriting (omitting URL encoding)? /sparql?query = CONSTRUCT { <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this> ?p ?o } FROM <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/> WHERE { <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this> ?p ?o } URL Rewriting for iSparql: iSparql Query Builder: e.g.Browsing Linked Data View: <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind> Dereferencing: <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this> or <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI> UI supports two commands for dereferencing a URI: ?Explore? (i.e. Get all links to & from)? SELECT ?property ?hasValue ?isValueOf WHERE {{ <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this> ?property ?hasValue } UNION { ?isValueOf ?property <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this> }} ?Get Dataset? (i.e. Treat URI as a subgraph)? SELECT * FROM <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this>WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } URL Rewriting for iSparql: Issues: ?Get Dataset? Option ? Issues with URI being dereferenced: <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this> Assumes URI is a named graph ? It isn?t! It?s a unique node ID (object ID / entity instance ID)? The only graph defined by our Linked Data View is: <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind> Northwind URL Rewriting: The Aim: Aim of URL rewriting for the Northwind Linked Data View: Create a rule for RDF browsers which will map an IRI <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/something> to a SPARQL query CONSTRUCT <iri> ?p ?o FROM <http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/> WHERE { <iri> ?p ?o } and rewrite the request as /sparql?query=CONSTRUCT ...

Thus, in order to use such a schema as query context, one first loads the corresponding document into the triple store using ttlp or rdf_load_rdfxml or related functions. After the schema document is loaded, one can add the assertions therein into an inference context with the rdfs_rule_set function. This function specifies a logical name for the rule set plus a graph URI. It is possible to combine multiple schema graphs into a single rule set. A single schema graph may also independently participate in multiple rule sets. rdfs_rule_set (in name varchar, in uri varchar, in remove int := 0) This function adds the applicable facts of the graph into a rule set. The graph URI must correspond to the graph IRI of a graph stored in the triple store of the Virtuoso instance. If the remove argument is true, the specified graph is removed from the rule set instead. Changing Rule Sets Changing a rule set affects queries made after the change. Some queries may have been previously compiled and will not be changed as a result of modifying the rule set. When a rule set is changed, i.e. when rdfs_rule_set is called with the first argument set to a pre-existing rule set's name, all the graphs associated with this name are read and the relevant facts are added to a new empty rule set. Thus, if triples are deleted from or added to the graphs comprising the rule set, calling rdfs_rule_set will refresh the rule set to correspond to the state of the stored graphs.
