How can I use the LOAD command to import RDF data? SPARQL INSERT can be done using the LOAD command: SPARQL INSERT INTO <..> { .... } [[FROM ...] { ... }] SPARQL LOAD <x> [INTO <y>] -- <ResourceURL> will be the Graph IRI of the loaded data: SPARQL LOAD <ResourceURL> Examples Load from Resource URL In order to load data from resource URL for ex: http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i , execute the following command with isql: SQL> SPARQL LOAD <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i>; callret-0 VARCHAR _______________________________________________________________________________ Load <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i> into graph <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i> -- done 1 Rows. -- 703 msec. SQL> Load from file Create DAV collection which is visible to the public, for ex: http://localhost:8890/DAV/tmp Upload to the DAV collection a file, for example with name listall.rq and with the following content: SPARQL 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 Execute the following command from isql: SQL>SPARQL LOAD bif:concat ("http://", bif:registry_get("URIQADefaultHost"), "/DAV/tmp/listall.rq") into graph <http://myNewGraph.com>; callret-0 VARCHAR _______________________________________________________________________________ Load <http://localhost:8890/DAV/tmp/listall.rq> into graph <http://myNewGraph.com> -- done 1 Rows. -- 321 msec. Directly LOAD triples using iSQL Triples can be directly loaded into Virtuoso specifying the literal values to inserted, by executing a command of the following form from isql: SQL>SPARQL INSERT INTO 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> . }; Related Virtuoso Tips and Tricks Collection RDF Insert Methods in Virtuoso
