  1. SPARQLAN RDF Query Language

  2. SPARQL SPARQL is a recursive acronym for SPARQL Protocol And Rdf Query Language SPARQL is the SQL for RDF Example: PREFIX abc: <http://example.com/exampleOnto#> SELECT ?capital ?country WHERE { ?x abc:cityname ?capital ; abc:isCapitalOf ?y . ?y abc:countryname ?country ; abc:isInContinent abc:Africa . }

  3. SPARQL SPARQL is a recursive acronym for SPARQL Protocol And Rdf Query Language SPARQL is the SQL for RDF Example: PREFIX abc: <http://example.com/exampleOnto#> SELECT ?capital ?country WHERE { ?x abc:cityname ?capital ; abc:isCapitalOf ?y . ?y abc:countryname ?country ; abc:isInContinent abc:Africa . }

  4. SPARQL History Several RDF query languages were developed prior to SPARQL W3C RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) worked out SPARQL 2005-2008 Became a W3C recommendation in January 2008 with key documents: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-protocol/ http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-XMLres/ Implementations for multiple programming languages available

  5. SPARQL Query Forms • SELECT • Returns all, or a subset of, the variables bound in a query pattern match. • ASK • Returns a boolean indicating whether a query pattern matches or not. • DESCRIBE • Returns an RDF graph that describes the resources found. • CONSTRUCT • Returns an RDF graph constructed by substituting variables in a set of triple templates.

  6. It’s Turtles all the way down Turtle (Terse RDF Triple Language ): − An RDF serialization − Triple representation of <Subject, Predicate, Object> − Human-friendly alternative to RDF/XML <http://example/person/A> <http://xmlns.com/foaf.0.1/name> “Jek” @prefix person: <http://example/person/> . @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> . Person:A foaf:name “Jek" . Person:A foaf:mbox <mailto:jek@example.net> . Person:B foaf:name “Yuan" . _:b foaf:name “Jeff" . _:b foaf:mbox <mailto:jeff@example.org> . ------------- | name | ======== | “Jek” | | ”Yuan” | | ”Jeff” | ------------- Blank Node A "hello world" of queries SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:name ?name }

  7. Matching RDF Literals @prefix dt: <http://example.org/datatype#> . @prefix ns: <http://example.org/ns#> . @prefix : <http://example.org/ns#> . @prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> . :x ns:p "cat"@en . :y ns:p "42"^^xsd:integer . :z ns:p "abc"^^dt:specialDatatype . --------- | v | ===== ---------------------------------- | v | =================== |http://example.org/ns#x | ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- | V | =================== |http://example.org/ns#z | ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- | V | =================== |http://example.org/ns#y | ---------------------------------- SELECT ?v WHERE { ?v ?p "cat" } SELECT ?v WHERE { ?v ?p "cat“@en } SELECT ?v WHERE { ?v ?p 42 } SELECT ?v WHERE { ?v ?p "abc dt:specialDatatype}

  8. Filter @prefix dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> . @prefix stock: <http://example.org/stock#> . @prefix inv: <http://example.org/inventory#> . stock:book1 dc:title "SPARQL Query Language Tutorial" . stock:book1 dc:edition “First” stock:book1 inv:price 10 . stock:book1 inv:quantity 3 . stock:book2 dc:title "SPARQL Query Language (2nd ed)" . stock:book2 inv:price 20 ; inv:quantity 5 . stock:book3 dc:title "Applying XQuery“; dc:edition “Second” . stock:book3 inv:price 20 ; inv:quantity 8 . --------------------------------------------------------------------- | book | title | ======================================= | stock:book1 | "SPARQL Query Language Tutorial" | --------------------------------------------------------------------- PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> PREFIX stock: <http://example.org/stock#> PREFIX inv: <http://example.org/inventory#> SELECT ?book ?title WHERE { ?book dc:title ?title . ?book inv:price ?price . FILTER ( ?price < 15 ) ?book inv:quantity ?num . FILTER ( ?num > 0 ) }

  9. Other Solution Modifiers PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:name ?name } ORDER BY ?name PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT DISTINCT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:name ?name } ORDER BY?name LIMIT5OFFSET10

  10. ASK @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> . _:a foaf:name “Jek" . _:a foaf:homepage <http://work.example.org/Jek/> . _:b foaf:name "Bob" . _:b foaf:mbox <mailto:bob@work.example> . Yes PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> ASK { ?x foaf:name “Jek" } <?xml version="1.0"?> <sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#"> <head> </head> <results> <boolean>true</boolean> </results> </sparql>

  11. DESCRIBE PREFIX books: <http://example.org/book/> PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> DESCRIBE ?book WHERE { ?book dc:title "Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban" } <rdf:RDF> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://example.org/book/book3"> <dc:creator rdf:parseType="Resource"> <vcard:N rdf:parseType="Resource"> <vcard:Given>Joanna</vcard:Given> <vcard:Family>Rowling</vcard:Family> </vcard:N> <vcard:FN>J.K. Rowling</vcard:FN> </dc:creator> <dc:title>Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban</dc:title> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

  12. Describes’s results? • The DAWG did not reach a consensus on what describe should return • Possibilities include • All triples where the variable bindings are mentioned • All triples where the bindings are the subject • Something else • What is useful might depend on the application or the amount of data involved • So it was left to the implementation

  13. CONSTRUCT @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> . _:a foaf:givenname "Alice" . _:a foaf:family_name "Hacker" . _:b foaf:firstname "Bob" . _:b foaf:surname "Hacker" . PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> PREFIX vcard: <http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#> CONSTRUCT{ ?x vcard:N _:v . _:v vcard:givenName ?gname . _:v vcard:familyName ?fname } WHERE { { ?x foaf:firstname ?gname } UNION { ?x foaf:givenname ?gname } . { ?x foaf:surname ?fname }UNION { ?x foaf:family_name ?fname } .} @prefix vcard: <http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#> . _:v1 vcard:N _:x . _:x vcard:givenName "Alice" . _:x vcard:familyName "Hacker" . _:v2 vcard:N _:z . _:z vcard:givenName "Bob" . _:z vcard:familyName "Hacker" .

  14. On construct • Having a result form that produces an RDF graph is a good idea • It enables on to construct systems by using the output of one SPARQL query as the data over which another query works • This kind of capability was a powerful one for relational databases

  15. Data: @prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> . @prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> . _:a rdf:type foaf:Person . _:a foaf:name "Alice" . _:a foaf:mbox <mailto:alice@example.com> . _:a foaf:mbox <mailto:alice@work.example> . _:b rdf:type foaf:Person . _:b foaf:name "Bob" . Query: PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name ?mbox WHERE { ?x foaf:name ?name . OPTIONAL { ?x foaf:mbox ?mbox } } Optional Pattern Matching Query Result:

  16. RDF Dataset • RDF data stores may hold multiple RDF graphs: • record information about each graph • queries that involve information from > one graph • RDF Dataset in SPARQL terminology • the background graph, which doen’t have a name, & 0 or more named graphs, identified by URI reference • Use cases: • (i) to have information in the background graph that includes provenance information about the named graphs (the application is not directly trusting the information in the named graphs ) • (ii) to include the information in the named graphs in the background graph as well

  17. RDF Named graphs • Having multiple RDF graphs in a single document/repository and naming them with URIs • Provides useful additional functionality built on top of the RDF Recommendations • SPARQL queries can involve several graphs, a background one and multiple named ones, e.g.: SELECT ?who ?g ?mbox FROM <http://example.org/dft.ttl> FROM NAMED <http://example.org/alice> FROM NAMED <http://example.org/bob> WHERE { ?g dc:publisher ?who . GRAPH ?g { ?x foaf:mbox ?mbox } }

  21. Accessing Graph Labels

  22. Restricting by Graph Label

  23. Restricting via Query Pattern

  25. Limitation of SPARQL SPARQL has many limitations, including No Insert, Update, Delete queries No aggregation functions These and many other features are being evaluated for inclusion in a future recommendation, see http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Category:Features
