An Extension of SPARQL for RDFS
نویسندگان
چکیده
RDF Schema (RDFS) extends RDF with a schema vocabulary with a predefined semantics. Evaluating queries which involve this vocabulary is challenging, and there is not yet consensus in the Semantic Web community on how to define a query language for RDFS. In this paper, we introduce a language for querying RDFS data. This language is obtained by extending SPARQL with nested regular expressions that allow to navigate through an RDF graph with RDFS vocabulary. This language is expressive enough to answer SPARQL queries involving RDFS vocabulary, by directly traversing the input graph.

Dynamic Querying of Mass-Storage RDF Data with Rule-Based Entailment Regimes
RDF Schema (RDFS) as a lightweight ontology language is gaining popularity and, consequently, tools for scalable RDFS inference and querying are needed. SPARQL has become recently a W3C standard for querying RDF data, but it mostly provides means for querying simple RDF graphs only, whereas querying with respect to RDFS or other entailment regimes is left outside the current specification. In t...
متن کاملAnswering SPARQL queries modulo RDF Schema with paths
SPARQL is the standard query language for RDF graphs. In its strict instantiation, it only offers querying according to the RDF semantics and would thus ignore the semantics of data expressed with respect to (RDF) schemas or (OWL) ontologies. Several extensions to SPARQL have been proposed to query RDF data modulo RDFS, i.e., interpreting the query with RDFS semantics and/or considering externa...
متن کاملConstrained regular expressions for answering RDF-path queries modulo RDFS
The standard SPARQL query language is currently defined for querying RDF graphs without RDFS semantics. Several extensions to SPARQL have been proposed to query RDF graphs considering RDFS semantics. In this paper, we discuss extensions of SPARQL that uses regular expressions to navigate RDF graphs and may be used to answer queries considering RDFS semantics. In particular, we present and compa...

متن کاملUsing SPARQL with RDFS and OWL Entailment
This chapter accompanies the lecture on SPARQL with entailment regimes at the 7th Reasoning Web Summer School in Galway, Ireland, 2011. SPARQL is a query language and protocol for data specified in the Resource Description Format (RDF). The basic evaluation mechanism for SPARQL queries is based on subgraph matching. The query criteria are given in the form of RDF triples possibly with variables...
