STTL - A SPARQL-based Transformation Language for RDF
نویسندگان
چکیده
The general research question addressed in this paper is How to transform RDF into other languages. This is of prime interest to present data selected and extracted from the Web of data in a format suitable for the user (e.g., HTML or CSV). Moreover, RDF can be viewed as a meta-model to represent on the Web of data other languages and models. The above research question then becomes How to generate the concrete syntax of expressions of a given language from their RDF representation. To answer these questions, we present SPARQL Template Transformation Language (STTL), a generic RDF transformation rule language, independent from the output language. We conceived it as a lightweight syntactic extension to SPARQL and we show how to compile it into standard SPARQL. We present a generic transformation rule engine implementing STTL and several RDF transformers we defined for various output languages, showing STTL’s expressive power.

Validating Ontologies Against OWL 2 Profiles with the SPARQL Template Transformation Language
In this paper we address the general research question of How can we express constraints on RDF data and how can we check that an RDF graph satisfies some given constraints? and we focus on expressing constraints defining OWL 2 profiles and checking these constraints for OWL validation. We propose an approach based on the SPARQL Template Transformation language (STTL). An STTL template is a tra...
متن کاملA Generic RDF Transformation Software and Its Application to an Online Translation Service for Common Languages of Linked Data
In this article we present a generic template and software solution for developers to support the many cases where we need to transform RDF. It relies on the SPARQL Template Transformation Language (STTL) which enables Semantic Web developers to write specific yet compact RDF transformers toward other languages and formats. We first briefly recall the STTL principles and software features. We t...
متن کاملUn navigateur pour les données liées du Web
Le Web de documents structurés qui repose sur le standard XML a rapidement été muni du standard XSLT pour engendrer des formats de présentation tels que HTML ou bien pour écrire des transformations de XML vers XML. De la même manière, le Web de données sémantiques qui repose sur le standard RDF a maintenant besoin d’un langage de transformation pour présenter les données RDF dans des formats li...
متن کاملA relational algebra for SPARQL
The SPARQL query language for RDF provides Semantic Web developers with a powerful tool to extract information from large datasets. This report describes a transformation from SPARQL into the relational algebra, an abstract intermediate language for the expression and analysis of queries. This makes existing work on query planning and optimization available to SPARQL implementors. A further tra...
متن کاملRepresenting, Querying and Transforming Social Networks with RDF/SPARQL
As social networks are becoming ubiquitous on the Web, the Semantic Web goals indicate that it is critical to have a standard model allowing exchange, interoperability, transformation, and querying of social network data. In this paper we show that RDF/SPARQLmeet this desiderata. Building on developments of social network analysis, graph databases and Semantic Web, we present a social networks ...
