phpBB 3 SIOC Reference
What is it about?
Unobtrusive generation of RDF instance data from phpBB 3. You simply use phpBB 3 as-is while reaping the benefit of "Linked Data Views" into your bulletin board data via the SIOC Ontology. In addition, you attain transparent integration between phpBB 3 and NNTP such that phpBB 3 data becomes accessible to NNTP aware applications.
Why is it important?
Unified Storage of heterogenous data originating from a variety of applications and associated protocols that is exposed as RDF instance data. Thus, benefits include:
- SPARQL access to phpBB 3 data via a SPARQL Endpoint
- Dereferenceable URIs (drill-down facilitating data pointers) for all data items (Entities) in the "Discussion Forum" / "Bulletin Board" domain (also referred to as Boardscape)
- Coherent exploitation of conceptual similarities between phpBB 3 and objects in the NNTP (Usenet / newsgroups) such as two-way interaction with common date via NNTP news-reader utilities or web-based discussion forum clients bound to phpBB 3 or NNTP.
How can one use this feature?
- Obtain an Open Source of Commercial Edition of Virtuoso ( enable PHP Hosting Support during installation)
- Install the virtuoso_phpbb_hosting_filesystem.vad package
- Go to http://
:[port]/phpBB3 - Use phpBB 3 as per usual
- Query SPARQL Data via the endpoint: http://
:[port]/phpBB3 using RDF Data Source URI (Named Graph): http:// :[port]/phpbb_v (for Virtual Graphs) and http:// :[port]/phpbb (for Physical Graphs)
What are the Linked Data Views supported?
- PHPBB3 rdf_views_script.sql or view the online version here.
Can I See This In Action Anywhere?
- Available demo you can find at the following location: http://demo.openlinksw.com/phpBB3/
- You can run the queries below or your own created ones using the Virtuoso SPARQL query page.
- For the database located at http://demo.openlinksw.com/phpBB3/, you should use the following graph(s) URI:
- Virtual Graph URI: http://demo.openlinksw.com/phpBB3_v/
- Physical Graph URI: http://demo.openlinksw.com/phpBB3/
