Couchdb 1 Couchdb CouchDB 1 CouchDB Apache CouchDB CouchDB's Futon Administration Interface, User database Original author(s) Damien Katz, Jan Lehnardt, Noah Slater, Christopher Lenz, J. Chris Anderson Developer(s) Apache Software Foundation Initial release 2005 Preview release 1.0.2 / February 1, 2011 Development status Active Written in Erlang Operating system Cross-platform Available in English Type Document-oriented database License Apache License 2.0 Website http:/ / couchdb. apache. org/ Apache CouchDB, commonly referred to as CouchDB, is an open source document-oriented database written in the Erlang programming language. It borrows from NoSQL and is designed for local replication and to scale horizontally across a wide range of devices. CouchDB is supported by commercial enterprises CouchBase and Cloudant. CouchDB 2 History In April 2005, Damien Katz (former Lotus Notes developer at IBM; now founder, CTO of CouchBase) posted on his blog about a new database engine he was working on. Details were sparse at this early stage, but what he did share was that it would be a "storage system for a large scale object database" and that it would be called CouchDB (Couch is an acronym for cluster of unreliable commodity hardware).[1] His objectives for the database were for it to become the database of the Internet and that it would be designed from the ground up to serve web applications. CouchDB was originally written in C++, but the project moved to the Erlang OTP platform for its emphasis on fault tolerance. He self-funded the project for almost two years and released it as an open source project under the GNU General Public License. In February 2008, it became an Apache Incubator project and the license was changed to the Apache License rather than the GPL.[2] On November 2008, it graduated to a top-level project alongside the likes of the Apache HTTP Server, Tomcat and Ant.[3] Currently, CouchDB is maintained at the Apache Software Foundation with backing from IBM. Katz works on it full-time as the lead developer. Design CouchDB is most similar to other document stores like MongoDB and Lotus Notes. It is not a relational database management system. Instead of storing data in rows and columns, the database manages a collection of JSON documents. The documents in a collection need not share a schema, but retain query abilities via views. Views are defined with aggregate functions and filters are computed in parallel, much like MapReduce. Views are generally stored in the database and their indexes updated continuously, although queries may introduce temporary views. CouchDB supports a view system using external socket servers and a JSON-based protocol.[4] As a consequence, view servers have been developed in a variety of languages. CouchDB exposes a RESTful HTTP API and a large number of pre-written clients are available. Additionally, a plugin architecture allows for using different computer languages as the view server such as JavaScript (default), PHP, Ruby, Python and Erlang. Support for other languages can be easily added. CouchDB design and philosophy borrows heavily from Web architecture and the concepts of resources, methods and representations and can be simplified as the following. Django may be built for the Web, but CouchDB is built of the Web. I’ve never seen software that so completely embraces the philosophies “behind HTTP. CouchDB makes Django look old-school in the same way that Django makes ASP look outdated. ” [5] —Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Django Developer It is in use in many software projects and web sites[6] , including Ubuntu, where it is used to synchronize address and bookmark data.[7] Since Version 0.11 CouchDB supports CommonJS' Module specification[8] . Features Document Storage CouchDB stores documents in their entirety. You can think of a document as one or more field/value pairs expressed as JSON. Field values can be simple things like strings, numbers, or dates. But you can also use ordered lists and associative maps. Every document in a CouchDB database has a unique id and there is no required document schema. ACID Semantics Like many relational database engines, CouchDB provides ACID semantics[9] . It does this by implementing a form of Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) not unlike InnoDB or Oracle. That means CouchDB can CouchDB 3 handle a high volume of concurrent readers and writers without conflict. Map/Reduce Views and Indexes To provide some structure to the data stored in CouchDB, you can develop views that are similar to their relational database counterparts. In CouchDB, each view is constructed by a JavaScript function (server-side JavaScript by using CommonJS and SpiderMonkey) that acts as the Map half of a MapReduce operation. The function takes a document and transforms it into a single value which it returns. The logic in your JavaScript functions can be arbitrarily complex. Since computing a view over a large database can be an expensive operation, CouchDB can index views and keep those indexes updated as documents are added, removed, or updated. This provides a very powerful indexing mechanism that grants unprecedented control compared to most databases. Distributed Architecture with Replication CouchDB was designed with bi-direction replication (or synchronization) and off-line operation in mind. That means multiple replicas can have their own copies of the same data, modify it, and then sync those changes at a later time. The biggest gotcha typically associated with this level of flexibility is conflicts. REST API CouchDB treats all stored items (there are others besides documents) as a resource. All items have a unique URI that gets exposed via HTTP. REST uses the HTTP methods POST, GET, PUT and DELETE for the four basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on all resources. HTTP is widely understood, interoperable, scalable and proven technology. A lot of tools, software and hardware, are available to do all sorts of things with HTTP like caching, proxying and load balancing. Examples CouchDB provides a set of RESTful HTTP methods (e.g., POST, GET, PUT or DELETE) by using the cURL lightweight command-line tool to interact with CouchDB server: curl http:/ / 127. 0. 0. 1:5984/ The CouchDB server processes the HTTP request, it returns a response in JSON as the following: {"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.0.1"} This is not terribly useful, but it illustrates nicely the way of interacting with CouchDB. Creating a database is simple—just issue the following command: curl -X PUT http:/ / 127. 0. 0. 1:5984/ wiki CouchDB will reply with the following message, if the database does not exist: {"ok":true} or, with a different response message, if the database already exists: {"error":"file_exists","reason":"The database could not be created, the file already exists."} The command below retrieves information about the database: curl -X GET http:/ / 127. 0. 0. 1:5984/ wiki The server replies with the following JSON message: {"db_name":"wiki","doc_count":0,"doc_del_count":0,"update_seq":0, "purge_seq":0,"compact_running":false,"disk_size":79, CouchDB 4 "instance_start_time":"1272453873691070","disk_format_version":5} The following command will remove the database and its contents: curl -X DELETE http:/ / 127. 0. 0. 1:5984/ wiki CouchDB will reply with the following message: {"ok":true} Open source components CouchDB includes a number of other open source projects as part of its default package. Component Description License SpiderMonkey SpiderMonkey is a code name for the first ever JavaScript engine, written by Brendan Eich at Netscape MPL/GPL/LGPL Communications, later released as open source and now maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. tri-license jQuery jQuery is a lightweight cross-browser JavaScript library that emphasizes interaction between JavaScript and Dual license: GPL HTML. and MIT ICU International Components for Unicode (ICU) is an open source project of mature C/C++ and Java libraries MIT License for Unicode support, software internationalization and software globalization.

Refactoring improves nonfunctional attributes of the software. Advantages include improved code readability and reduced complexity; these can improve source code maintainability and create a more expressive internal architecture or object model to improve extensibility. Typically, refactoring applies a series of standardised basic micro-refactorings, each of which is (usually) a tiny change in a computer program's source code that either preserves the behaviour of the software, or at least does not modify its conformance to functional requirements. Many development environments provide automated support for performing the mechanical aspects of these basic refactorings. If done extremely well, code

    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.

Document-oriented bases allow high flexibility in data representation which facilitates a rapid development of applications and enables many possi- bilities for data structuring. Nevertheless, the structural choices remain crucial because of their impact on several aspects of the document base and application quality, e.g, memory print, data redundancy, readability and maintainability. Our research is motivated by quality issues of document-oriented bases. We aim at facilitating the study of the possibilities of data structuring and providing objective metrics to better reveal the advantages and disadvantages of each solution with respect to user needs.

  • Standardised Xquery 3.0 Annotations for REST
    RESTful XQuery Standardised XQuery 3.0 Annotations for REST Adam Retter Adam Retter Consulting <[email protected]> January, 2012 Abstract Whilst XQuery was originally envisaged and designed as a query language for XML, it has been adopted by many as a language for application development This, in turn, has encouraged additional and diverse extensions, many of which could not easily have been foreseen. This paper examines how XQuery has been used for Web Application development, current implementation approaches for executing XQuery in a Web context, and subsequently presents a proposal for a standard approach to RESTful XQuery through the use of XQuery 3.0 Annotations. Keywords: XQuery 3.0, Annotations, REST, HTTP, Standard 1. Introduction 1.1 Background XML Query Language (XQuery) was originally born from several competing query languages for XML[1]. All of these languages had in common the noble yet limited goal of querying XML. They focused on XML as a read-only store for data. In addition, whilst several of these predecessors recognised the Web as a critical factor, like their successor XQuery, none of them attempted to implement constructs in the language that supported use as a (Web) server-side processing language. With the adoption and use of XQuery, because of its functional nature and module system which permit the organisation of code units, people attempted to write complex processing applications in XQuery. As the limits of what was achievable in XQuery were tested, real world scenarios emerged which called for additional XQuery facilities, resulting in extension standards: XPath and XQuery Update[2] and XQuery Full-Text[3].
