SPLENDID: SPARQL Endpoint Federation Exploiting VOID Descriptions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to leverage the full potential of the Semantic Web it is necessary to transparently query distributed RDF data sources in the same way as it has been possible with federated databases for ages. However, there are significant differences between the Web of (linked) Data and the traditional database approaches. Hence, it is not straightforward to adapt successful database techniques for RDF federation. Reasons are the missing cooperation between SPARQL endpoints and the need for detailed data statistics for estimating the costs of query execution plans. We have implemented SPLENDID, a query optimization strategy for federating SPARQL endpoints based on statistical data obtained from voiD descriptions [1].

SPORTAL: Profiling the Content of Public SPARQL Endpoints
Access to hundreds of knowledge-bases has been made available on the Web through public SPARQL endpoints. Unfortunately, few endpoints publish descriptions of their content (e.g., using VoID). It is thus unclear how agents can learn about the content of a given SPARQL endpoint or, relatedly, find SPARQL endpoints with content relevant to their needs. In this paper, we investigate the feasibilit...
متن کاملSPORTAL: Searching for Public SPARQL Endpoints
There are hundreds of SPARQL endpoints on the Web, but finding an endpoint relevant to a client’s needs is difficult: each endpoint acts like a black box, often without a description of its content. Herein we briefly describe Sportal: a system that collects meta-data about the content of endpoints and collects them into a central catalogue over which clients can search. Sportal sends queries to...
متن کاملQuerying the Web of Interlinked Datasets using VOID Descriptions
Query processing is an important way of accessing data on the Semantic Web. Today, the Semantic Web is characterized as a web of interlinked datasets, and thus querying the web can be seen as dataset integration on the web. Also, this dataset integration must be transparent from the data consumer as if she is querying the whole web. To decide which datasets should be selected and integrated for...
متن کاملA SPARQL Endpoint Profiler for an Efficient Question Answering System
A question answering (QA) system querying SPARQL endpoints must know which endpoints have data to match a triple pattern of a given question. To develop a system that locates endpoints more efficiently, we propose a tool to collect several metadata of a SPARQL endpoint using SPARQL queries only. The metadata include IRIs of explicitly declared classes (i.e., objects of the rdf:type predicate) a...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of SPARQL Federation Engines Over Multiple Endpoints
Due to decentralized and linked architecture underlying Linking Data, running complex queries often require collecting data from multiple RDF datasets. The optimization of the runtime of such queries, called federated queries, is of central importance to ensure the scalability of Semantic-Web and Linked-Data-driven applications. This has motivated a considerable body of work on SPARQL query fed...
