OpenLink Virtuoso - SQL & RDF: OpenLink Virtuoso - SQL & RDF RDF Views of SQL Data (Exposing SQL Data as RDF) Orri Erling Program Manager - OpenLink Virtuoso mailto:oerling@openlinksw.com


Virtuoso Universal Server: Virtuoso Universal Server Native SQL & XML DBMS Federated / Hybrid Data Server (Virtual Database Engine) Web Services Platform SQL to RDF Mapping Native RDF Quad Store (with SPARQL support) In-built RDF Middleware (“Sponger”) RDF Linked Data Deployment Platform


Situation Analysis: Situation Analysis Data Drives Everything Data Heterogeneity is a fact of life There is no Information without Data The Era of Information Overload is Neigh Information Processing drives Corporate & Individual Agility


What We Hope: What We Hope Write The Final Chapter of the Information Integration Saga!


Yes, if...: Yes, if... SPARQL to Match SQL for BI Queries Tools and Training for the Information Architect Successful Migration of Domain Specific XML Vocabularies to RDF


An Ideal Solution: An Ideal Solution


Slide7: Virtuoso’s RDF Views of SQL Data Functionality


What are RDF Views?: What are RDF Views? Expose pre-existing relational data as virtual RDF graphs Available for querying through SPARQL or SPASQL (SPARQL embedded in SQL) No physical regeneration of relational data


Virtuoso RDF Views Implementation: Virtuoso RDF Views Implementation Quad Patterns Translate Relational Data to G, S, P, O Map Local or Heterogeneous Remote Data To RDF Map XML/Text/Web Services to RDF via Table Valued Functions Sophisticated Query Transformations and Optimization


Virtuoso SPARQL and SQL Extensions: Virtuoso SPARQL and SQL Extensions Aggregates, Grouping, Full Text for SPARQL SQL "Breakup" for Mapping Wide Rows to n-Triples Freely Intermingle SQL and SPARQL


Northwind Demo Database: Northwind Demo Database Tables include: Demo.demo.Orders Demo.demo.Customers


Northwind Demo Database: RDF View Definition Extract: Northwind Demo Database: RDF View Definition Extract prefix northwind: … create iri class northwind:Customer (in customer_id varchar not null) … alter quad storage virtrdf:DefaultQuadStorage … from Demo.demo.Customers as customers from Demo.demo.Orders as orders … { Demo.demo.Customers Northwind RDF View Definition create virtrdf:NorthwindDemo as graph iri (“http://^{URIQADefaultHost}^/Northwind”) { … northwind:Customer(customers.CustomerID) a foaf:Organization as virtrdf:Customer-CustomerID ; northwind:companyName customers.CompanyName as … ; … northwind:fax customers.Fax as virtrdf:Customer-fax . … } } northwind:Customer(orders.CustomerID) northwind:has_order northwind:Order(orders.OrderID) as virtrdf:Order-has_order .


Northwind Demo Database: RDF View Definition Extract: Northwind Demo Database: RDF View Definition Extract prefix northwind: … create iri class northwind:Order (in order_id integer not null) . … alter quad storage virtrdf:DefaultQuadStorage … from Demo.demo.Customers as customers from Demo.demo.Orders as orders … { Demo.demo.Orders Northwind RDF View Definition create virtrdf:NorthwindDemo as graph iri (“http://^{URIQADefaultHost}^/Northwind”) { … northwind:Order (orders.OrderID) a northwind:Order as virtrdf:Order-Order ; northwind:orderDate orders.OrderDate as virtrdf:Order-order_date ; northwind:requiredDate orders.RequiredDate as virtrdf:Order-required_date ; … … } } northwind:has_customer northwind:Customer (orders.CustomerID) as virtrdf:Order-order_has_customer northwind:has_employee northwind:Employee (orders.EmployeeID) as virtrdf:Order-order_has_employee ;


Northwind Demo Database: Customer Table to RDF Entity Mapping: Northwind Demo Database: Customer Table to RDF Entity Mapping Orders Table


Facilitate Information at Your Finger Tips: Facilitate Information at Your Finger Tips Provide a Conceptual View of Logical Data Make the Conceptual Views concrete focal points of Data Access Identify Data Entities using URIs (Data Links) e.g http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this Identify Associations / Relationships with other Entities using URIs e.g http://www.openlinksw.com/schemas/northwind#has_order


SQL-RDF Mapping Experiences: SQL-RDF Mapping Experiences Mapping is Non-Trivial Problems Start When Many Tables Map to the Same Thing Choice of URI Scheme Can Greatly Affect Optimization Possibilities


What We Need: What We Need Interop of Necessary SPARQL Extensions Visual Tools for SQL-RDF Mapping SQL-RDF Mapping Syntax Standardization Community Consensus on RDF Vocabularies


It is NOT about RDF vs. XML vs. SQL: It is NOT about RDF vs. XML vs. SQL Web Services are for Transactions and App. Integration RDF is for Disparate Data Meshing, Discovery, and Drill Down/Analysis SQL is Forever


SQL-RDF Integration Value: SQL-RDF Integration Value Enterprise: Alleviation of heterogeneous data integration challenges Public: A Whole Economy of Discoverable Linked Data and Data Mesh-ups Now: Full Text For All - Next: Analysis For All


OpenLink Futures: OpenLink Futures Commercial Deployment of SQL to RDF Mapping Towards Web-scale with Clustered RDBMS/Triple Store OpenLink Data Spaces (ODS) for Bootstrapping SemWeb Presence
