---+Virtuoso RDF4J and Sesame HTTP Repository Configuration and Usage %TOC% ---++What Eclipse RDF4J ([[http://rdf4j.org/2016/05/18/goodbye-sesame-hello-rdf4j/][formerly known as OpenRDF Sesame]]) is an open source Java framework for storing, querying and reasoning with RDF and RDF Schema. It can be used as a database for RDF and RDF Schema, or as a Java library for applications that need to work with RDF internally. The RDF4J HTTP and Console repositories serves as a proxy for a RDF store hosted on a remote RDF4J server, enabling the querying of the RDF store using the RDF4J HTTP protocol. ---++Why The RDF4J HTTP repository endpoint provides users with the greater flexibility for manipulating the RDF store via a common interface. RDF4J provides you with the necessary tools to parse, interpret, query and store all this information, embedded in your own application if you want, or, if you prefer, in a separate database or even on a remote server. ---++How To create a new RDF4J HTTP repository, the Console needs to create such an RDF document and submit it to the SYSTEM repository. The Console uses so called repository configuration templates to accomplish this. Repository configuration templates are simple Turtle RDF files that describe a repository configuration, where some of the parameters are replaced with variables. The Console parses these templates and asks the user to supply values for the variables. The variables are then substituted with the specified values, which produces the required configuration data. Refer to the [[http://docs.rdf4j.org/server-workbench-console/][RDF4J Server, Workbench, and Console]] documentation for more details on it usage. ---++Setup and Testing This section details the steps required for configuring and testing a Virtuoso RDF4J or Sesame Repository, both using the HTTP and Console RDF4J or Sesame repositories. ---+++Requirements * [[http://rdf4j.org/download/][RDF4J 2.x SDK]] or [[http://www.openrdf.org/download.jsp][Sesame 2.3.1]] or higher * [[https://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/rdf4j/2/virt_rdf4j.jar][RDF4J 2.x]] (virt_rdf4j.jar), <a href="VOSDownload/virt_sesame2.jar" style="wikiautogen">Virtuoso Sesame 2.x </a> (virt_sesame2.jar) or [[http://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/sesame/40/virt_sesame4.jar][Virtuoso Sesame 4.x]] (virt_sesame4.jar) Provider * [[https://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/jdbc/virtjdbc4_2.jar][Virtuoso JDBC Driver for Java 8]] (virtjdbc4_2.jar) or <a href="VOSDownload/virtjdbc4.jar" style="wikiautogen">Virtuoso JDBC Driver for earlier Java versions</a> (virtjdbc4.jar) * Virtuoso System Repository config file for [[https://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/rdf4j/2/create.xsl][RDF4J 2.x]] or <a href="%ATTACHURLPATH%/create.xsl" style="wikiautogen">Sesame 2.x</a> or [[http://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/sesame/40/create.xsl][Sesame 4.x]] (create.xsl) * Virtuoso Repository config file for [[https://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/rdf4j/2/create-virtuoso.xsl][RDF4J 2.x]] or <a href="%ATTACHURLPATH%/create-virtuoso.xsl" style="wikiautogen">Sesame 2.x </a> or [[http://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/sesame/40/create-virtuoso.xsl][Sesame 4.x]] (create-virtuoso.xsl) * Configuration Template file for a Virtuoso Repository for [[https://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/rdf4j/2/virtuoso.ttl][RDF4J 2.x]] or <a href="%ATTACHURLPATH%/virtuoso.ttl" style="wikiautogen">Sesame 2.x </a> or [[http://download3.openlinksw.com/uda/virtuoso/rdfproviders/sesame/40/virtuoso.ttl][Sesame 4.x]] (virtuoso.ttl) * [[http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi][Apache Tomcat]] version 5 or higher ---+++Setup RDF4J or Sesame HTTP Repository This section details the steps required for configuring and testing a Virtuoso HTTP RDF4J or Sesame Repository. 1 Install [[http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.html][Apache Tomcat]] web server 1 If using RDF4J: * From the RDF4J 2.x SDK "lib" directory copy the "rdf4j-server.war" and "rdf4j-workbench.war" files to the tomcat "webapps" directory where they will automatically be deployed creating two new sub directories "rdf4j-server" and "rdf4j-workbench". * Place the corresponding Virtuoso RDF4J 2.x Provider "virt_rdf4j.jar" and JDBC Driver "virtjdbc4_2.jar" into the Tomcat <code>~/webapps/rdf4j-server/WEB-INF/lib/</code> and <code>~/webapps/rdf4j-workbench/WEB-INF/lib/</code> directories for use by the RDF4J HTTP Repository for accessing the Virtuoso RDF repository. * Place the "create.xsl" and "create-virtuoso.xsl" files in the Tomcat <code>~/webapps/rdf4j-workbench/transformations/</code> directory.

A connection via this method is made via the Virtuoso RDF4J or Sesame provider which will be faster and provide better support for transactions, than making a direct connection to the SPARQL endpoint using the HTTP Repository class. This is analogous to the ODBC Driver Manager in the ODBC realm for generic access to a data store via a suitable ODBC Driver. * <b>RDF4J or Sesame HTTP Repository</b> class - A repository that serves as a proxy for a remote repository on a RDF4J or Sesame server or directly to a SPARQL endpoint. This method does not make use of the Virtuoso RDF4J or Sesame Provider, using instead the HTTP protocol to make requests directly RDF4J or Sesame server or other SPARQL endpoint. ---++++ Using the RDF4J or Sesame Remote Repository Manager class If a RDF4J or Sesame HTTP Repository endpoint, as detailed above already exists, the [[http://docs.rdf4j.org/server-workbench-console/#_http_repository_configuration][Remote Repository Manager class]] can be used to make a remote connection as follows by specify the URL to the remote RDF4J or Sesame HTTP Server and the <nop>RepositoryID for the repository the connection is to be made to: <verbatim> //Initialize Remote Repository Manager RepositoryManager repositoryManager = new RemoteRepositoryManager( "http://hostname:portno/openrdf-sesame" ); repositoryManager.initialize(); //Set Virtuoso (or any other) repositoryID on http://hostname:portno/openrdf-sesame Repository repository = repositoryManager.getRepository("RepositoryID"); // Open a connection to this repository con = repository.getConnection(); // ... do something </verbatim> ---++++ Using the RDF4J or Sesame HTTP Repository class A direct connection to the default built-in Virtuoso SPARQL Endpoint can be made using the [[http://docs.rdf4j.org/server-workbench-console/#_rdf4j_console][RDF4J or Sesame HTTP Repository class]] by simply specifying the URL to the Virtuoso SPARQL Endpoint i.e. <code>http://{host}:{port}/sparql</code> as follows: <verbatim> // Initialize Direct SPARQL Endpoint HTTP Repository connection String endpointURL = "http://hostname:portno/sparql"; HTTPRepository sparqlEndpoint = new HTTPRepository(endpointURL, ""); sparqlEndpoint.initialize(); // Open a connection to this repository con = sparqlEndpoint.getConnection(); // ... do something </verbatim> ---++Related * [[VirtSesame2Provider][Virtuoso RDF4J and Sesame Provider]]
