How Do I Get Going? Download, install, and experience the power of coherent integration of disparate data sources, data access protocols, and data representation formats. In an nutshell, commence exploitation of powerful business intelligence, socially enhanced collaboration, data virtualization, and entity analytics without writing a line of code! Turn "Big Data" into exploitable "Smart Data" without compromise! © 2012 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved.

How Does Virtuoso Expose LOD Cloud Data To ODBC Clients? Creation of ODBC accessible SQL Views using SPASQL (SPARQL inside SQL) that targets local data Ditto via SPARQL-FED (Federated SPARQL) for external SPARQL endpoints. Example instances include:  DBpedia (Linked Data version of Wikipedia content and LOD Cloud nexus)  URIBurner Service for “on the fly” transformation of data from: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Freebase, Disqus etc.  Live Linked Open Data LOD Cloud Cache. © 2012 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved.
