  • Mapping Spatiotemporal Data to RDF: a SPARQL Endpoint for Brussels
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Mapping Spatiotemporal Data to RDF: A SPARQL Endpoint for Brussels Alejandro Vaisman 1, * and Kevin Chentout 2 1 Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires 1424, Argentina 2 Sopra Banking Software, Avenue de Tevuren 226, B-1150 Brussels, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +54-11-3457-4864 Received: 20 June 2019; Accepted: 7 August 2019; Published: 10 August 2019 Abstract: This paper describes how a platform for publishing and querying linked open data for the Brussels Capital region in Belgium is built. Data are provided as relational tables or XML documents and are mapped into the RDF data model using R2RML, a standard language that allows defining customized mappings from relational databases to RDF datasets. In this work, data are spatiotemporal in nature; therefore, R2RML must be adapted to allow producing spatiotemporal Linked Open Data.Data generated in this way are used to populate a SPARQL endpoint, where queries are submitted and the result can be displayed on a map. This endpoint is implemented using Strabon, a spatiotemporal RDF triple store built by extending the RDF store Sesame. The first part of the paper describes how R2RML is adapted to allow producing spatial RDF data and to support XML data sources. These techniques are then used to map data about cultural events and public transport in Brussels into RDF. Spatial data are stored in the form of stRDF triples, the format required by Strabon. In addition, the endpoint is enriched with external data obtained from the Linked Open Data Cloud, from sites like DBpedia, Geonames, and LinkedGeoData, to provide context for analysis.

  • Validating RDF Data Using Shapes
    83 Validating RDF data using Shapes a Jose Emilio Labra Gayo ​ ​ a University​ of Oviedo, Spain Abstract RDF forms the keystone of the Semantic Web as it enables a simple and powerful knowledge representation graph based data model that can also facilitate integration between heterogeneous sources of information. RDF based applications are usually accompanied with SPARQL stores which enable to efficiently manage and query RDF data. In spite of its well known benefits, the adoption of RDF in practice by web programmers is still lacking and SPARQL stores are usually deployed without proper documentation and quality assurance. However, the producers of RDF data usually know the implicit schema of the data they are generating, but they don't do it traditionally. In the last years, two technologies have been developed to describe and validate RDF content using the term shape: Shape Expressions (ShEx) and Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL). We will present a motivation for their appearance and compare them, as well as some applications and tools that have been developed. Keywords RDF, ShEx, SHACL, Validating, Data quality, Semantic web 1. Introduction In the tutorial we will present an overview of both RDF is a flexible knowledge and describe some challenges and future work [4] representation language based of graphs which has been successfully adopted in semantic web 2. Acknowledgements applications. In this tutorial we will describe two languages that have recently been proposed for This work has been partially funded by the RDF validation: Shape Expressions (ShEx) and Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL).ShEx was Competitiveness, project: TIN2017-88877-R proposed as a concise and intuitive language for describing RDF data in 2014 [1].

  • A Visual Notation for the Integrated Representation of OWL Ontologies
    A Visual Notation for the Integrated Representation of OWL Ontologies Stefan Negru1 and Steffen Lohmann2 1Faculty of Computer Science, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, General Berthelot 16, 700483 Iasi, Romania 2Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems (VIS), Universit¨atsstraße 38, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Ontology Visualization, Visual Notation, OWL, Semantic Web, Knowledge Visualization, Ontologies. Abstract: The paper presents a visual notation for the Web Ontology Language (OWL) providing an integrated view on the classes and individuals of ontologies. The classes are displayed as circles, with the size of each circle representing its connectivity in the ontology. The individuals are represented as sections in the circles so that it is immediately clear from the visualization how many individuals the classes contain. The notation can be used to visualize the property relations of either the classes (conceptual layer) or of selected individuals (integrated layer), while certain elements are always shown for a better understanding. It requires only a small number of graphical elements and the resulting visualizations are comparatively compact. Yet, the notation is comprehensive, as it defines graphical representations for all OWL elements that can be reasonably visualized. The applicability of the notation is illustrated by the example of the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) ontology. 1 INTRODUCTION reasoning.

  • Mapping Between Digital Identity Ontologies Through SISM
    Mapping between Digital Identity Ontologies through SISM Matthew Rowe The OAK Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield, Regent Court, 211 Portobello Street, Sheffield S1 4DP, UK [email protected] Abstract. Various ontologies are available defining the semantics of dig- ital identity information. Due to the rise in use of lowercase semantics, such ontologies are now used to add metadata to digital identity informa- tion within web pages. However concepts exist in these ontologies which are related and must be mapped together in order to enhance machine- readability of identity information on the web. This paper presents the Social identity Schema Mapping (SISM) vocabulary which contains a set of mappings between related concepts in distinct digital identity ontolo- gies using OWL and SKOS mapping constructs. Key words: Semantic Web, Social Web, SKOS, OWL, FOAF, SIOC, PIMO, NCO, Microformats 1 Introduction The semantic web provides a web of machine-readable data. Ontologies form a vital component of the semantic web by providing conceptualisations of domains of knowledge which can then be used to provide a common understanding of some domain. A basic ontology contains a vocabulary of concepts and definitions of the relationships between those concepts. An agent reading a concept from an ontology can look up the concept and discover its properties and characteristics, therefore interpreting how it fits into that particular domain. Due to the great number of ontologies it is common for related concepts to be defined in separate ontologies, these concepts must be identified and mapped together. Web technologies such as Microformats, eRDF and RDFa have allowed web developers to encode lowercase semantics within XHTML pages.

  • Introduction Vocabulary an Excerpt of a Dbpedia Dataset
    D2K Master Information Integration Université Paris Saclay Practical session (2): SPARQL Sources: http://liris.cnrs.fr/~pchampin/2015/udos/tuto/#id1 https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-sparql11-query-20130321/ Introduction For this practical session, we will use the DBPedia SPARQL access point, and to access it, we will use the Yasgui online client. By default, Yasgui (http://yasgui.org/) is configured to query DBPedia (http://wiki.dbpedia.org/), which is appropriate for our tutorial, but keep in mind that: - Yasgui is not linked to DBpedia, it can be used with any SPARQL access point; - DBPedia is not related to Yasgui, it can be queried with any SPARQL compliant client (in fact any HTTP client that is not very configurable). Vocabulary An excerpt of a dbpedia dataset The vocabulary of DBPedia is very large, but in this tutorial we will only need the IRIs below. foaf:name Propriété Nom d’une personne (entre autre) dbo:birthDate Propriété Date de naissance d’une personne dbo:birthPlace Propriété Lieu de naissance d’une personne dbo:deathDate Propriété Date de décès d’une personne dbo:deathPlace Propriété Lieu de décès d’une personne dbo:country Propriété Pays auquel un lieu appartient dbo:mayor Propriété Maire d’une ville dbr:Digne-les-Bains Instance La ville de Digne les bains dbr:France Instance La France -1- /!\ Warning: IRIs are case-sensitive.

  • Supporting SPARQL Update Queries in RDF-XML Integration *
    Supporting SPARQL Update Queries in RDF-XML Integration * Nikos Bikakis1 † Chrisa Tsinaraki2 Ioannis Stavrakantonakis3 4 Stavros Christodoulakis 1 NTU Athens & R.C. ATHENA, Greece 2 EU Joint Research Center, Italy 3 STI, University of Innsbruck, Austria 4 Technical University of Crete, Greece Abstract. The Web of Data encourages organizations and companies to publish their data according to the Linked Data practices and offer SPARQL endpoints. On the other hand, the dominant standard for information exchange is XML. The SPARQL2XQuery Framework focuses on the automatic translation of SPARQL queries in XQuery expressions in order to access XML data across the Web. In this paper, we outline our ongoing work on supporting update queries in the RDF–XML integration scenario. Keywords: SPARQL2XQuery, SPARQL to XQuery, XML Schema to OWL, SPARQL update, XQuery Update, SPARQL 1.1. 1 Introduction The SPARQL2XQuery Framework, that we have previously developed [6], aims to bridge the heterogeneity issues that arise in the consumption of XML-based sources within Semantic Web. In our working scenario, mappings between RDF/S–OWL and XML sources are automatically derived or manually specified. Using these mappings, the SPARQL queries are translated on the fly into XQuery expressions, which access the XML data. Therefore, the current version of SPARQL2XQuery provides read-only access to XML data. In this paper, we outline our ongoing work on extending the SPARQL2XQuery Framework towards supporting SPARQL update queries. Both SPARQL and XQuery have recently standardized their update operation seman- tics in the SPARQL 1.1 and XQuery Update Facility, respectively. We have studied the correspondences between the update operations of these query languages, and we de- scribe the extension of our mapping model and the SPARQL-to-XQuery translation algorithm towards supporting SPARQL update queries.

  • Querying Distributed RDF Data Sources with SPARQL
    Querying Distributed RDF Data Sources with SPARQL Bastian Quilitz and Ulf Leser Humboldt-Universit¨at zu Berlin {quilitz,leser}@informatik.hu-berlin.de Abstract. Integrated access to multiple distributed and autonomous RDF data sources is a key challenge for many semantic web applications. As a reaction to this challenge, SPARQL, the W3C Recommendation for an RDF query language, supports querying of multiple RDF graphs. However, the current standard does not provide transparent query fed- eration, which makes query formulation hard and lengthy. Furthermore, current implementations of SPARQL load all RDF graphs mentioned in a query to the local machine. This usually incurs a large overhead in network traffic, and sometimes is simply impossible for technical or le- gal reasons. To overcome these problems we present DARQ, an engine for federated SPARQL queries. DARQ provides transparent query ac- cess to multiple SPARQL services, i.e., it gives the user the impression to query one single RDF graph despite the real data being distributed on the web. A service description language enables the query engine to decompose a query into sub-queries, each of which can be answered by an individual service. DARQ also uses query rewriting and cost-based query optimization to speed-up query execution. Experiments show that these optimizations significantly improve query performance even when only a very limited amount of statistical information is available. DARQ is available under GPL License at http://darq.sf.net/. 1 Introduction Many semantic web applications require the integration of data from distributed, autonomous data sources. Until recently it was rather difficult to access and query data in such a setting because there was no standard query language or interface.

  • SPARQL Query Processing with Conventional Relational Database Systems
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by e-Prints Soton SPARQL query processing with conventional relational database systems Steve Harris IAM, University of Southampton, UK [email protected] Abstract. This paper describes an evolution of the 3store RDF storage system, extended to provide a SPARQL query interface and informed by lessons learned in the area of scalable RDF storage. 1 Introduction The previous versions of the 3store [1] RDF triplestore were optimised to pro- vide RDQL [2] (and to a lesser extent OKBC [3]) query services, and had no efficient internal representation of the language and datatype extensions from RDF 2004 [4]. This revision of the 3store software adds support for the SPARQL [5] query language, RDF datatype and language support. Some of the representation choices made in the implementation of the previous versions of 3store made efficient support for SPARQL queries difficult. Therefore, a new underlying rep- resentation for the RDF statements was required, as well as a new query en- gine capable of supporting the additional features of SPARQL over RDQL and OKBC. 2 Related Work The SPARQL query language is still at an early stage of standardisation, but there are already other implementations. 2.1 Federate Federate [6] is a relational database gateway, which maps RDF queries to existing database structures. Its goal is for compatibility with existing relational database systems, rather than as a native RDF storage and querying engine. However, it shares the approach of pushing as much processing down into the database engine as possible, though the algorithms employed are necessarily different.
