  6. Now that the Linked Data is here What to do next? Let’s Make Use of It

  7. Linked Data • Before using we should be sure that we understand the meaning. • What was the problem: Searching and Finding Search for Football Players who went to the University of Texas at Austin, played for the Dallas Cowboys as Cornerback

  8. Current Web = internet + links + docs Why cant we find it?

  9. So, what to do? • Make it easy for computers/software to find THINGS Publish Thing • As data • In a standardized way: RDF • RDF data is serialized in different ways: • RDF/XML, RDFa, N3, Turtle, JSON

  14. Linked Data makes the web appear as ONEGIANTHUGEGLOBALDATABASE!

  15. Do you remember Search and Find ?

  16. SPARQL Endpoints Query Linked Data with • Linked Data sources usually provide a SPARQL endpoint for their dataset(s) • SPARQL endpoint: SPARQL query processing service that supports the SPARQL protocol* • Send your SPARQL query, receive the result * http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-protocol/

  17. http://www.w3.org/wiki/SparqlEndpoints

  18. http://labs.mondeca.com/sparqlEndpointsStatus/

  19. SPARQL queries over multipledatasets How to do this? • Issue follow-up queries to different endpoints • Querying a central collection of datasets • Build store with copies of relevant datasets • Use query federation system

  20. 1- Follow-up Queries • Idea: issue follow-up queries over other datasets based on results from previous queries • Substituting placeholders in query templates

  21. String s1 = "http://cb.semsol.org/sparql"; String s2 = "http://dbpedia.org/sparql"; String qTmpl = "SELECT ?c WHERE{ <%s>rdfs:comment ?c }"; String q1 = "SELECT ?s WHERE { ..."; QueryExecution e1 = QueryExecutionFactory.sparqlService(s1,q1); ResultSet results1 = e1.execSelect(); while ( results1.hasNext() ) { QuerySolution s1 = results.nextSolution(); String q2 = String.format( qTmpl, s1.getResource("s"),getURI() ); QueryExecution e2= QueryExecutionFactory.sparqlService(s2,q2); ResultSet results2 = e2.execSelect(); while ( results2.hasNext() ) { // ... } e2.close(); } e1.close(); Find a list of companies Filtered by some criteria and return DbpediaURIs from them

  22. 1- Follow-up Queries • Advantage • Queried data is up-to-date • Drawbacks • Requires the existence of a SPARQL endpoint for each dataset • Requires program logic • Very inefficient

  23. 2- Querying a Collection of Datasets • Idea: Use an existing SPARQL endpoint that provides access to a set of copies of relevant datasets • Example: • SPARQL endpoint over a majority of datasets from the LOD cloud at: http://uberblic.org http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql

  24. (Linked) Data Marketplaces • FactForge • Integrates some of the most central LOD datasets • General-purpose information(not specific to a domain) • 1.2billion explicit and 1 billion inferred statements • The largest upper-level knowledge base • http://www.FactForge.net • LinkedLifeData • 25 of the most popular life-science datasets • 2.7billion explicit and 1.4 billion inferred statements • http://www.LinkedLifeData.com

  25. 2- Querying a Collection of Datasets • Advantage • No need for specific program logic • Drawbacks • Queried data might be out of date • Not all relevant datasets in the collection

  26. 3- Own Store of Dataset Copies • Idea: Build your own store with copies of relevant datasets and query it • Possible stores: • Jena TDB http://jena.hpl.hp.com/wiki/TDB • Sesame http://www.openrdf.org/ • OpenLink Virtuoso http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/ • 4store http://4store.org/ • AllegroGraphhttp://www.franz.com/agraph/ • etc.

  27. 3- Own Store of Dataset Copies • Advantages • No need for specific program logic • Can include all datasets • Independent of the existence, availability, and efficiency of SPARQL endpoints • Drawbacks • Requires effort to set up and to operate the store • Ideally, data sources provide RDF dumps; if not? • How to keep the copies in sync with the originals? • Queried data might be out of date

  28. 4- Federated Query Processing • Idea: Querying a mediator which distributes sub-queries to relevant sources and integrates the results

  29. 4- Federated Query Processing • DARQ (Distributed ARQ) • http://darq.sourceforge.net/ • Query engine for federated SPARQL queries • Extension of ARQ (query engine for Jena) • Last update: June 28, 2006 • Semantic Web Integrator and Query Engine(SemWIQ) • http://semwiq.sourceforge.net/ • Actively maintained!

  30. 4- Federated Query Processing • Advantages • No need for specific program logic • Queried data is up to date • Drawbacks • Requires the existence of a SPARQL endpoint for each dataset • Requires effort to set up and configure the mediator

  31. In any case • You have to know the relevant data sources • When developing the app using follow-up queries • When selecting an existing SPARQL endpoint over a collection of dataset copies • When setting up your own store with a collection of dataset copies • When configuring your query federation system • You restrict yourself to the selected sources Automated Link Traversal Idea: Discover further data by looking up relevant URIs in your application Can be combined with the previous approaches

  32. Link Traversal Based Query Execution • Applies the idea of automated link traversal to the execution of SPARQL queries • Idea: • Intertwine query evaluation with traversal of RDF links • Discover data that might contribute to query results during query execution • Alternately: • Evaluate parts of the query • Look up URIs in intermediate solutions

  43. Link Traversal Based Query Execution • Advantages • No need to know all data sources in advance • No need for specific programming logic • Queried data is up to date • Does not depend on the existence of SPARQL endpoints provided by the data sources • Drawbacks • Not as fast as a centralized collection of copies • Unsuitable for some queries • Results might be incomplete (do we care?)

  44. Implementations • Semantic Web Client library (SWClLib) for Java http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/bizer/ng4j/semwebclient/ • SWIC for Prolog http://moustaki.org/swic/ • SQUIN http://squin.org • Provides SWClLib functionality as a Web service • Accessible like a SPARQL endpoint

  45. Real World Example

  46. What is a Linked Data application? Software system that makes use of data on the web from multiple datasets and that benefits from links between the datasets

  47. Characteristics of Linked Data Applications • Consumedata that is published on the web following the Linked Data principles: an application should be able to request, retrieve and process the accessed data. • Discoverfurther information by following the links between different data sources: the fourth principle enables this. • Combinethe consumed linked data with data from sources (not necessarily Linked Data). • Exposethe combined data back to the web following the Linked Data principles. • Offer valueto end-users.
