Interwebs? Internet – graph of computers connected to one another Web – graph of documents hyper-linked to one another Semantic web – graph of concepts/ideas/data linked together by named relations.

RDF Triple: Subject Predicate Object Use URI for universal naming New York has the postal abbreviation NY <urn:x-states:New%20York> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/alternative> "NY" .

Linked Data • decentralized - sources may be spread out and referenced across the Web • modular - linked without advance planning or coordination • scalable - once store in place, it’s easy to extend • advantages hold even when definitions and structure of the data changes over time.

Other Sem Web Tech • Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS) • Defining the vocabularies intended to be used in RDF • class, property, type, subClassOf, range, and domain • Allows for reasoning over data • Web Ontology Language (OWL) • more expressive ontologies and more complex reasoning of them

Sparql SPARQL is a query language for the Semantic Web.

Sparql SELECT ?node ?title WHERE{ ?node <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title> ?title . } LIMIT 1

?node ?title http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title

SPARQLProxy • This is a web service that allows you to query any SPARQL endpoint, and get back the results in any format you want. • A RESTful way to query any endpoint in any environment.

SPARQLProxy http://logd.tw.rpi.edu/sparql? Paramiters: query: [required] encoded String of SPARQL query query-uri :[required] URI of SPARQL query (use as an alternative to "query" parameter. These two parameters are mutul-exclusive)

SPARQLProxy service-uri: [required] URI of SPARQL Endpoint – default is the LOGD endpoint output: output format. ''xml'' - SPARQL/XML (default) : ''exhibit'' - JSON for MIT Exhibit : ''gvds'' - JSON for Google Visualization : ''csv'' - CSV : ''html'' - HTML table : “sparql” - SPARQL JSON

Example • http://logd.tw.rpi.edu/sparql.php?query-option=text&query=PREFIX+conversion%3A+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Ftwc%2Fvocab%2Fconversion%2F%3E%0D%0ASELECT+%3Fg+sum%28+%3Ftriples+%29+as+%3Festimated_triples%0D%0AWHERE+{%0D%0A++GRAPH+%3Fg++{%0D%0A+++%3Fg+void%3Asubset+%3Fsubdataset+.%0D%0A+++%3Fsubdataset+conversion%3Anum_triples+%3Ftriples+.%0D%0A++}%0D%0A}+%0D%0AGROUP+BY+%3Fg%0D%0A&service-uri=&output=html&callback=&tqx=&tp=
