Outline• Demo Saveface SPARQL endpoint• Overview• Set up Joseki SPARQL endpoint• From Protégé (data modeling) to Jena/Jaster (RDF library/SPARQL endpoint – Protégé – Jastor – Facebook graph API – Jena 4

Overview• Protégé 4.1 (data modeling)• Jastor library (RDF to POJO)• Facebook graph API• RestFB*• Jena/Jastor 5

Setup Joseki (Jena)• Joskei is an HTTP engine that supports SPRAQL; (use jetty, support ARQ for Jena) – configuration as turtle file• Get Jena 2.6.3, tdb 0.8.7, Joseki 3.4.2 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jena/files/ – or go to http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2010/aintno/rdfData/aintno_j oseki.tar.gz for everything in one zip file – Jena is now an Apache Incubator program (http://incubator.apache.org/jena/index.html) source: http://ricroberts.com/articles/installing-jena-and-joseki-on-os-x-or-linux 6

Setup environment• export JOSEKIROOT=/path/to/Joseki-3.4.2• export TDBROOT=/path/to/TDB-0.8.7• export JENAROOT=/path/to/Jena-2.6.3• export CLASSPATH=.:$JENAROOT/lib/*.jar:$TDBROOT/lib/*.jar: $JOSEIKIROOT/lib/*.jar• export PATH=“$TDBROOT/bin:$JOSEKIROOT/bin:$PATH• if you download the all-in-one package(* I have put all jars under Joseki’s lib folder) – export JOSEKIROOT="/path/to/Joseki-aintno” – export PATH="$JOSEKIROOT/bin:$PATH” – export CLASSPATH=".:$JOSEKIROOT/lib/*.jar" 7

Run Joseki• cd /path/to/Joseki• ./bin/rdfserver – ./bin/rdfserver - - help (joseki.rdfserver [--verbose] [--port N] dataSourceConfigFile)• Now open browser at http://localhost:2020/ – test some of the SPARQL query interface with example data 8

Joseki - Http access to SPARQL Endpoint 9

Saveface• Goal: save my Facebook data as linked data• Facebook *finally* provides restful API to access its data (Facebook Graph API) – http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/a pi/ – graph structure (e.g. Album class) • http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/al bum/ 10

From Data model to Java POJO• Used Protégé to create owl class for each of the Facebook classes – be aware that mapping from OO to ontology needs cares – serialize as RDF files• Mapping ontologies (owl files) to JAVA classes – used Jastor library to generates Java interfaces, implementations, factories, and listeners based on the properties and class hierarchies in the Web ontologies – easier for non-Semantic Web java developer to make use of ontology 11

Jastor• Typesafe, Ontology Driven RDF Access from Java http://jastor.sourceforge.net/ – Use Jena 2.4• Provides an interface for access/setting/adding event listeners to RDF model Jastor Operator listener iCal SIOC Mapping tool Tag FOAF Jena2 Platform (RDF model + Reasoning Engine + Persistence System) RDF DB Ontology files JAVA VM 12

Example Create mappingJastorContext ctx = new JastorContext();ctx.addOntologyToGenerate(new FileInputStream("src/data/Tag.owl"), "http://www.mit.edu/dig/ns/tag", "edu.mit.dig.model.Tag");JastorGenerator gen = new JastorGenerator( new File("gensrc").getCanonicalFile(), ctx);gen.run(); Make use of the classTag tag = edu.mit.dig.model.Tag.tagFactory.createTag(NS_PREFIX + "id_1", model);tag.addName("A tag");tag.addX(45);tag.addY(32); 13

RestFB + RDF• Facebook graph API client• Forked RestFB 1.5.4 and added RDFUtil.java – used java reflection to covert each FB objects in RestFB to Jena RDF model (method toRDF())• Default domain name for Saveface data – http://servername:port_num/data/saveface/ 14

Demo• git clone git@github.com:fumingshih/savefaceDemo.git• Login to your Facebook• Go to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ – click on one of the links to view your content in json format (graph) – copy the access_token after https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token• Run saveface.tutorial.Exercise1.java – paste the access_token string (* only valid for one hour) – change the directory for storing RDF (TDB files) 15

Access SaveFace Data through Joseki• Open /path/to/your/Joseki/joseki-config.ttl• Three concepts in the configuration files – services • Services are the points that request are sent to • Need to specify dataset and processor • Note that the service reference and the routing of incoming requests by URI as defined by web.xml have to align – datasets • can be path to the dataset • or using Jena assembler description to compile different named graphs together – processors • set limitations on SPARQL queries (locking, no FROM/FROM NAMED) 16 Reference: http://www.joseki.org/configuration.html

Configuration Example (Service) # Service 3 - SPARQL processor only handing a given dataset(TDB) <#service3> rdf:type joseki:Service ; rdfs:label "SPARQL on the named graph of saveface" ; joseki:serviceRef "saveface" ; # web.xml must route this name to Joseki # dataset part joseki:dataset <#savefacedata> ; # Service part. # This processor will not allow either the protocol, # nor the query, to specify the dataset. joseki:processor joseki:ProcessorSPARQL_MultiDS ; . 17

Configuration Example (Dataset) # init tdb [] ja:loadClass "com.hp.hpl.jena.tdb.TDB" . tdb:DatasetTDB rdfs:subClassOf ja:RDFDataset . tdb:GraphTDB rdfs:subClassOf ja:Model . <#savefacedata> rdf:type tdb:DatasetTDB ; rdfs:label "saveface dataset" ; #change this line below to your path to the dataset tdb:location "/Users/fuming/tmp/saveface_demo" ; . 18

Facebook Data as Linked Data!• Change graph name to <urn:saveface:dataGraph:FumingShih> in the SPARQL query 19
