  • Benchmarking RDF Query Engines: the LDBC Semantic Publishing Benchmark
    Benchmarking RDF Query Engines: The LDBC Semantic Publishing Benchmark V. Kotsev1, N. Minadakis2, V. Papakonstantinou2, O. Erling3, I. Fundulaki2, and A. Kiryakov1 1 Ontotext, Bulgaria 2 Institute of Computer Science-FORTH, Greece 3 OpenLink Software, Netherlands Abstract. The Linked Data paradigm which is now the prominent en- abler for sharing huge volumes of data by means of Semantic Web tech- nologies, has created novel challenges for non-relational data manage- ment technologies such as RDF and graph database systems. Bench- marking, which is an important factor in the development of research on RDF and graph data management technologies, must address these challenges. In this paper we present the Semantic Publishing Benchmark (SPB) developed in the context of the Linked Data Benchmark Council (LDBC) EU project. It is based on the scenario of the BBC media or- ganisation which makes heavy use of Linked Data Technologies such as RDF and SPARQL. In SPB a large number of aggregation agents pro- vide the heavy query workload, while at the same time a steady stream of editorial agents execute a number of update operations. In this paper we describe the benchmark’s schema, data generator, workload and re- port the results of experiments conducted using SPB for the Virtuoso and GraphDB RDF engines. Keywords: RDF, Linked Data, Benchmarking, Graph Databases 1 Introduction Non-relational data management is emerging as a critical need in the era of a new data economy where heterogeneous, schema-less, and complexly structured data from a number of domains are published in RDF. In this new environment where the Linked Data paradigm is now the prominent enabler for sharing huge volumes of data, several data management challenges are present and which RDF and graph database technologies are called to tackle.

Academic Editors: Ioannis Gitas and Prasad S. Thenkabail Received: 31 March 2015 / Accepted: 17 July 2015 / Published: 22 July 2015 Abstract: The increasing availability of very high-resolution remote sensing imagery (i.e., from satellites, airborne laser scanning, or aerial photography) represents both a blessing and a curse for researchers. The manual classification of these images, or other similar geo-sensor data, is time-consuming and leads to subjective and non-deterministic results. Due to this fact, (semi-) automated classification approaches are in high demand in affected research areas. Ontologies provide a proper way of automated classification for various kinds of sensor data, including remotely sensed data. However, the processing of data entities—so-called individuals—is one of the most cost-intensive computational operations within ontology reasoning. Therefore, an approach based on graph databases is proposed to overcome the issue of a high time consumption regarding the classification task.

  • Ontop: Answering SPARQL Queries Over Relational Databases
    Undefined 0 (0) 1 1 IOS Press Ontop: Answering SPARQL Queries over Relational Databases Diego Calvanese a, Benjamin Cogrel a, Sarah Komla-Ebri a, Roman Kontchakov b, Davide Lanti a, Martin Rezk a, Mariano Rodriguez-Muro c, and Guohui Xiao a a Free University of Bozen-Bolzano {calvanese,bcogrel, sakomlaebri,dlanti,mrezk,xiao}@inf.unibz.it b Birkbeck, University of London [email protected] c IBM TJ Watson [email protected] Abstract. In this paper we present Ontop, an open-source Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) system that allows for querying relational data sources through a conceptual representation of the domain of interest, provided in terms of an ontology, to which the data sources are mapped. Key features of Ontop are its solid theoretical foundations, a virtual approach to OBDA that avoids materializing triples and that is implemented through query rewriting techniques, extensive optimizations exploiting all elements of the OBDA architecture, its compliance to all relevant W3C recommendations (including SPARQL queries, R2RML mappings, and OWL 2 QL and RDFS ontologies), and its support for all major relational databases. Keywords: Ontop, OBDA, Databases, RDF, SPARQL, Ontologies, R2RML, OWL 1. Introduction vocabulary, models the domain, hides the structure of the data sources, and can enrich incomplete data with Over the past 20 years we have moved from a background knowledge. Then, queries are posed over world where most companies had one all-knowing this high-level conceptual view, and the users no longer self-contained central database to a world where com- need an understanding of the data sources, the relation panies buy and sell their data, interact with several between them, or the encoding of the data.

  • Annotation of Existing Databases Using Semantic Web Technologies: Making Data More FAIR
    Annotation of existing databases using Semantic Web technologies: making data more FAIR Johan van Soest1,2, Ananya Choudhury1, Nikhil Gaikwad1, Matthijs Sloep1, Michel Dumontier2, Andre Dekker1 1 Department of Radiation Oncology (MAASTRO), GROW School for Oncology and Devel- opmental Biology, Maastricht University Medical Centre+, Maastricht, the Netherlands 2 Institute of Data Science, Maastricht university, Maastricht, The Netherlands *[email protected] Abstract. Making data FAIR is an elaborate task. Hospitals and/or departments have to invest into technologies usually unknown and often do not have the re- sources to make data FAIR. Our work aims to provide a framework and tooling where users can easily make their data (more) FAIR. This framework uses RDF and OWL-based inferencing to annotate existing databases or comma-separated files. For every database, a custom ontology is build based on the database schema, which can be annotated to describe matching standardized terminolo- gies. In this work, we describe the tooling developed, and the current imple- mentation in an institutional datawarehouse pertaining over 3000 rectal cancer patients. We report on the performance (time) of the extraction and annotation process by the developed tooling. Furthermore, we do show that annotation of existing databases using OWL2-based reasoning is possible. Furthermore, we show that the ontology extracted from existing databases can provide a descrip- tion framework to describe and annotate existing data sources. This would tar- get mostly the “Interoperable” aspect of FAIR. Keywords: FAIR, annotations, terminologies, linked data. 1 Introduction Semantic interoperability has been a topic in medical informatics since the introduc- tion of the digital patient chart [1].

  • Similarity Search in Knowledge Graphs: Adapting the Vector Space Model
    Similarity Search in Knowledge Graphs: Adapting the Vector Space Model Atanas Kiryakov1 and Svetla Boytcheva1;2 1 Ontotext, Sirma AI, Sofia, Bulgaria fatanas.kiryakov,[email protected] 2 Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria [email protected] Abstract. Exploring diverse knowledge graphs with SPARQL queries requires a laborious process of determining the appropriate predicates, classes and graph patterns. Another drawback is that such structured queries represent Boolean search without relevance ranking, which is im- practical for flexible querying of big volumes of data. We present an experiment of adaptation of the Vector Space Model (VSM) document retrieval technique for knowledge graphs. As a first demonstration we implemented SPARQL queries, which retrieve similar cities in FactForge - a graph of more than 2 billion statements, combining DBPedia, GeoN- ames and other data. The basic methods from this paper are augmented with graph analytics and embedding techniques and formally evaluated in [2] Keywords: Knowledge Graphs · Similarity · Graph Embedding . 1 Motivation In a big data era, characterized by 5V3 (volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value) knowledge management is a quite challenging task and requires the de- sign and development of new smart and efficient solutions. One prominent new paradigm are the so-called Knowledge Graphs (KG), which put data in context via linking and semantic metadata and this way provide a framework for data integration, unification, analytics and sharing. Given a critical mass of domain knowledge and good level of connectivity, KGs can serve as context that helps computers comprehend and manipulate data. Data in KG is accessed via structured query languages such as SPARQL4.
