The common denominator is “non-core-rdflib”. The main RDFExtras project acts as a focal point for RDFLib-associated packages and plug-ins with distinct uses, such as SPARQL query processors (numbering one, thus far), commandline tools, serializers/parsers, experimental or unmaintained stores and similar. Warning: The rdfextras packages are to be considered unstable in general. Useful, sometimes near core, but not currently guaranteed never to be renamed, refactored, reshuffled or redesigned. Contents 1 rdfextras Documentation, Release 0.1a 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Plug-ins Overview The current set of RDFLib and RDFExtras plug-ins includes RDF parsers, serializers, stores and the “sparql-p” SPARQL query processor: 1.1 SPARQL query processor The pure Python no-sql SPARQL implementation bits that were in the RDFLib development trunk are now in rdfextras.sparql. This “default” SPARQL implementation has been developed from the original sparql-p implementation (by Ivan Herman, Dan Krech and Michel Pelletier) and over time has evolved into a full implementation of the W3C SPARQL 3 rdfextras Documentation, Release 0.1a Algebra, providing coverage for the full SPARQL grammar including all combinations of GRAPH. The implementation includes unit testing and has been run against the new DAWG testsuite. May 02, 2015 1.1.1 “sparql-p” (default) SPARQL implementation Originally, on Wednesday 24 August, 2005: rdflib and SPARQL by Michel Pelletier: As some of you know rdflib has been slowly growing SPARQL support. It started when Ivan Herman from the W3C implemented the SPARQL query logic for rdflib and contributed it back to us. The bulk of his work is in the rdflib.sparql module. While not a complete SPARQL implementation, because it lacked a parser, it represented the bulk of the work necessary to implement a SPARQL query language, ie, the actual query logic. On the parser front I have made some progress. You can find it in rdflib.sparql.grammar in the current SVN. It depends on the excellent pyparsing library to parse SPARQL queries into a structured token object from which all of the relevant bits of data about a particular SPARQL query can be extracted. The grammar is still young and being tested and it doesn’t work for all queries, but it’s a start. I’ve written a script that applies the grammar to all of the standard SPARQL tests, so that over time I can keep working on it until all the tests pass. Once we have a working parser that parses all the known SPARQL test queries then we can implement the last piece, the thin glue layer between the parser and Ivan’s query logic. I’m hoping that by rdflib 2.4 or 2.5 we can brag about having full SPARQL support as well as being able to successfully run and prove all of the standard tests. This would be a huge milestone for us as it would drive more developers to rdflib, if only because they want a framework against which to test and verify the spec: it encourages the existing SPARQL gurus out there to come our way because of the amazingly low barrier of entry rdflib provides by being pure Python. Subsquently, on 10 Oct 2005: SPARQL in RDFLib (Version 2.1) by Ivan Herman This is a short overview of the query facilities added to RDFLib. These are based on the July 2005 version of the SPARQL draft worked on at the W3C. For a lack of a better word, I refer to this implementation as sparql-p. Thanks to the work of Daniel Krech and mainly Michel Pelletier, sparql-p is now fully integrated with the newer versions of RDFLib (version 2.2.2 or later), whereas earlier versions were distributed as separate packages. This integration has led to some minor adjustments in class naming and structure compared to earlier versions. If you are looking for the documentation of the separate package, please refer to an earlier version of this document. Be warned, though, that the earlier versions are now deprecated in favour of RDFLib 2.2.2 or later. The SPARQL draft describes its facilities in terms of a query language. A full SPARQL implementation should include a parser of that language mapping on the underlying implementation. sparql-p does not include such parser yet, only the underlying SPARQL engine and its API. The description below shows how the mapping works. This also means that the API is not the full implementation of SPARQL: some of the features should be left to the parser that could use this API. This is the case, for example, of named Graphs facilities that could be mapped using RDFLib Graph instances: all query is performed on such an instance in the first place! In any case, the implementation of sparql-p covers (I believe) the most frequently used cases of SPARQL. — Intro Later still, on May 19 2006: SPARQL BisonGen Parser Checked in to RDFLib blog post by Chimezie 4 Chapter 1. Plug-ins Overview rdfextras Documentation, Release 0.1a I just checked in the most recent version of what had been an experimental, generated (see: http://copia.ogbuji.net/blog/2005-04-27/Of_BisonGe) parser for the full SPARQL syntax, I had been working on to hook up with sparql-p. It parses a SPARQL query into a set of Python objects rep- resenting the components of the grammar: http://svn.rdflib.net/trunk/rdflib/sparql/bison/ The parses itself is a Python/C extension, so the setup.py had to be modified in order to compile it into a Python module. I also checked in a test harness that’s meant to work with the DAWG test cases: http://svn.rdflib.net/trunk/test/BisonSPARQLParser I’m currently stuck on this test case, but working through it: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/tests/#optional-outer-filter-with-bound The test harness only checks for parsing, it doesn’t evaluate the parsed query against the corresponding set of test data, but can be easily be extended to do so. I’m not sure about the state of those test cases, some have been ‘accepted’ and some haven’t. I came across a couple that were illegal according to the most recent SPARQL grammar (the bad tests are noted in the test harness). Currently the parser is stand-alone, it doesn’t invoke sparql-p for a few reasons: I wanted to get it through parsing the queries in the test case first Our integrated version of sparql-p is outdated as there is a more recent version that Ivan has been working on with some improvements we should consider integrating Some of the more complex combinations of Graph Patterns don’t seem solvable without re-working / extending the expansion tree solver. I have some ideas about how this could be done (to handle things like nested UNIONS and OPTIONALs) but wanted to get a working parser in first And later yet, on Sun, 01 Apr 2007 SPARQL Algebra, Reductions, Forms and Mappings for Implementations a post to public-sparql-dev by Chimezie I’ve been gearing up to an attempt at implementing the Compositional SPARQL semantics expressed in both the ‘Semantics of SPARQL’ and ‘Semantics and Complexity of SPARQL’ papers with the goal of reusing existing sparql-p which already implements much of the evaluation semantics. Some intermediate goals are were neccessary for the first attempt at such a design [1]: • Incorporate rewrite rules outlined in the current DAWG SPARQL WD • Incorporate reduction to Disjunctive Normal Form outlined in Semantics and Complexity of SPARQL • Formalize a mapping from the DAWG algebra notation to that outlined in Semantics of SPARQL • Formalize a mapping from the compositional semantics to sparql-p methods In attempting to formalize the above mappings I noticed some interesting parallels that I thought you and Ivan might be interested in (given the amount independent, effort that was put into both the formal semantics and the implementations). In particular The proposed disjunctive normal form of SPARQL patterns coincides directly with the ‘query’ API of sparql-p [2] which essentially implements evaluation of SPARQL patterns of the form: (P1 UNION P2 UNION .... UNION PN) OPT A) OPT B) ... OPT C) I.e., DNF extended with OPTIONAL patterns. 1.1. SPARQL query processor 5 rdfextras Documentation, Release 0.1a In addition, I had suggested [3] to the DAWG that they consider formalizing a function symbol which relates a set of triples to the IRIs of the graphs in which they are contained. As Richard Newman points out, this is implemented [4] by most RDF stores and in RDFLib in particular by the ConjunctiveGraph.contexts method: contexts((s,p,o)) -> {uri1,uri2,...} I had asked their thoughts on performance impact on evaluating GRAPH patterns declaratively instead of imperatively (the way they are defined in both the DAWG semantics and the Jorge P.

Furthermore, there are several interlinking frameworks that find semantically equivalent geospatial resources in related RDF data sources. However, many existing Linked Open Data sources are currently sparsely interlinked. Also, many RDF generation and interlinking frameworks require a solid knowledge of Semantic Web and Geospatial Semantic Web concepts to successfully deploy them. This article comparatively evaluates features and functionality of the current state-of-the-art geospatial RDF generation tools and interlinking frameworks. This evaluation is specifically performed for cultural heritage researchers and professionals who have limited expertise in computer programming. Hence, a set of criteria has been defined to facilitate the selection of tools and frameworks.

    Series ISSN: 2160-4711 LABRA GAYO • ET AL GAYO LABRA Series Editors: Ying Ding, Indiana University Paul Groth, Elsevier Labs Validating RDF Data Jose Emilio Labra Gayo, University of Oviedo Eric Prud’hommeaux, W3C/MIT and Micelio Iovka Boneva, University of Lille Dimitris Kontokostas, University of Leipzig VALIDATING RDF DATA This book describes two technologies for RDF validation: Shape Expressions (ShEx) and Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL), the rationales for their designs, a comparison of the two, and some example applications. RDF and Linked Data have broad applicability across many fields, from aircraft manufacturing to zoology. Requirements for detecting bad data differ across communities, fields, and tasks, but nearly all involve some form of data validation. This book introduces data validation and describes its practical use in day-to-day data exchange. The Semantic Web offers a bold, new take on how to organize, distribute, index, and share data. Using Web addresses (URIs) as identifiers for data elements enables the construction of distributed databases on a global scale. Like the Web, the Semantic Web is heralded as an information revolution, and also like the Web, it is encumbered by data quality issues. The quality of Semantic Web data is compromised by the lack of resources for data curation, for maintenance, and for developing globally applicable data models. At the enterprise scale, these problems have conventional solutions. Master data management provides an enterprise-wide vocabulary, while constraint languages capture and enforce data structures. Filling a need long recognized by Semantic Web users, shapes languages provide models and vocabularies for expressing such structural constraints.

(Corresponding author: Mustafa Ali Bamboat) (Received 03 November 2020, Revised 22 December 2020, Accepted 28 January 2021) (Published by Research Trend, Website: www.researchtrend.net) ABSTRACT: The semantic web is an extension of the traditional web, in which contents are understandable to the machine and human. RDF is a Semantic Web technology used to create data stores, build vocabularies, and write rules for approachable LinkedData. RDF Framework expresses the Web Data using Uniform Resource Identifiers, which elaborate the resource in triples consisting of subject, predicate, and object. This study examines RDF libraries' performance on three platforms like Java, DotNet, and Python. We analyzed the performance of Apache Jena, DotNetRDF, and RDFlib libraries on the RDF model of LinkedMovie and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) in aspects measuring matrices such as loading time, file traversal time, query response time, and memory utilization of each dataset. SPARQL is the RDF model's query language; we used six queries, three for each dataset, to analyze each query's response time on the selected RDF libraries. Keywords: dotNetRDF, Apache Jena, RDFlib, LinkedMovie, MeSH.

  • Inscribing the Blockchain with Digital Signatures of Signed RDF Graphs. a Worked Example of a Thought Experiment
    Inscribing the blockchain with digital signatures of signed RDF graphs. A worked example of a thought experiment. The thing is, ad hoc hash signatures on the blockchain carry no information linking the hash to the resource for which the hash is acting as a digital signature. The onus is on the inscriber to associate the hash with the resource via a separate communications channel, either by publishing the association directly or making use of one of the third-party inscription services that also offer a resource persistence facility – you get to describe what is signed by the hash and they store the description in a database, usually for a fee, or you can upload the resource for storage, definitely for a fee. Riccardo Cassata has a couple of technical articles that expose more of the practical details: https://blog.eternitywall.it/2016/02/16/how-to-verify-notarization/ So what's published is a hexadecimal string indistinguishable from all the others which purportedly matches the hash of Riccardo's mugshot. But which? https://tineye.com/search/ed9f8022c9af413a350ec5758cda520937feab21 What’s needed is a means of creating an inscription that is not only a signature but also a resovable reference to the resource for which it acts as a digital signature. It would be even better if it were possible to create a signature of structured information, such as that describing a social media post – especially if we could leverage off’ve the W3’s recent Activity Streams standard: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/ An example taken from the

  • RDF in the JRS Server
    RDF in the JRS Server Simon Johnston, Martin Nally, Edison Ting May 16, 2008 This document describes the manner in which the JRS Server leverages, and exposes, RDF. JRS is not an RDF server, however it has made extensive use of RDF in the way in which it indexes resources and exposes indexed properties to client applications. This document covers not only the manner in which clients interact with this RDF view but the motivation for using RDF and some of the implementation details. 1 Motivation The Jazz REST Services (JRS) Server is a set of REST storage services that allow for the secure storage, indexing and query of resources supporting the development of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) application clients. A JRS server should not make any restriction on the type or representation of resources1 stored, and yet indexing of resources does require knowledge of the “raw” format (XML vs. plain text for example) and specific domain schema (requirement XML vs. test case XML for example). To this end the workflow within JRS on the storage of resources is to invoke a set of indexer tasks that are raw format specific and which may be further configured with declarative rules for domain schema. For example the JRS server provides an image indexer that is able to extract EXIF2 properties from photographs and indexes a fixed subset, the XML indexer however must be configured by a client to extract specific elements and attributes using a set of XPath expressions. These indexer tasks are responsible for the extraction of properties from the resource which the JRS server then makes available for queries.
