Representing, Querying and Transforming Social Networks with RDF/SPARQL
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 data model based on RDF, and a query and transformation language based on SPARQL meeting the above requirements. We study its expressive power and complexity showing that it behaves well, and present an illustrative prototype.

Extensions of SPARQL towards Heterogeneous Sources and Domain Annotations
SPARQL is the W3C Recommended query language for RDF. My current work aims at extending SPARQL in two distinct ways: (i) to allow a better integration of RDF and XML; and (ii) to define a query language for RDF extended with domain specific annotations. Transforming data between XML and RDF is a much required, but not so simple, task in the Semantic Web. The aim of (i) is to enable transparent ...
متن کاملQuerying RDF Data Using A Multigraph-based Approach
RDF is a standard for the conceptual description of knowledge, and SPARQL is the query language conceived to query RDF data. The RDF data is cherished and exploited by various domains such as life sciences, Semantic Web, social network, etc. Further, its integration at Web-scale compels RDF management engines to deal with complex queries in terms of both size and structure. In this paper, we pr...
متن کاملOptimization of SPARQL by using coreSPARQL
SPARQL is becoming an important query language for RDF data. Query optimization to speed up query processing has been an important research topic for all query languages. In order to optimize SPARQL queries, we suggest a core fragment of the SPARQL language, which we call the coreSPARQL language. coreSPARQL has the same expressive power as SPARQL, but eliminates redundant language constructs of...
متن کاملDynamic 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 کاملAn efficient SQL-based querying method to RDF schemata
Applications based on knowledge engineering require operations on semantic data. Traditionally, in this area relational data are transformed to a form expected by a reasoning system (usually RDF). In this work a method is presented that transforms a query to a RDF data structure (i.e. SPARQL) to a SQL query executed by RDBMS. This could lead to significant increase to efficiency of reasoning. O...
