The Semantic Web
The Semantic Web is a project that intends to add computer-processable meaning
(semantics) to the Word Wide Web.
SPARQL
A a protocol and a query language SQL-like for querying RDF graphs via pattern
matching
VIRTUOSO
Both back-end database engine and the HTTP/SPARQL server.

DBpedia.org
Is the Semantic Web mirror of Wikipedia.
RDF
Is a data model of graphs on subject, predicate, object triples.
APACHE JENA
A free and open source Java framework for building Semantic Web and Linked
Data applications.
ARQ - A SPARQL Processor for Jena for querying Remote SPARQL Services

DBpedia.org extracts from Wikipedia editions in 119 languages, convert it into RDF
and make this information available on the Web:
★ 24.9 million things (16.8 million from the English Dbpedia);
★ labels and abstracts for 12.6 million unique things;
★ 24.6 million links to images and 27.6 million links to external web pages;
★ 45.0 million external links into other RDF datasets, 67.0 million links to
Wikipedia categories, and 41.2 million YAGO categories.

The dataset consists of 2.46 billion RDF triples (470 million were extracted from
the English edition of Wikipedia), 1.98 billion from other language editions, and 45
million are links to external datasets.
DBpedia uses the Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a flexible data
model for representing extracted information and for publishing it on the Web. We
use the SPARQL query language to query this data.

What is a Triple?
A Triple is the minimal amount of information expressable in Semantic Web. It is
composed of 3 elements:
1. A subject which is a URI (e.g., a "web address") that represents something.
2. A predicate which is another URI that represents a certain property of the
subject.
3. An object which can be a URI or a literal (a string) that is related to the
subject through the predicate.

John has the email address john@email.com
(subject) (predicate) (object)
Subjects, predicates, and objects are represented with URIs, which can be
abbreviated as prefixed names.
Objects can also be literals: strings, integers, booleans, etc.

Why SPARQL?
SPARQL is a quey language of the Semantic Web that lets us:
1. Extract values from structured and semi-strutured data
2. Explore data by querying unknown relatioships
3. Perform complex join query of various dataset in a unique query
4. Trasform data from a vocabulary in another

Structure of a SPARQL query:
● Prefix declarations, for abbreviating URIs ( PREFIX dbpowl:
<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Mountain> = dbpowl:Mountain)
● Dataset definition, stating what RDF graph(s) are being queried (DBPedia,
Darwin Core Terms, Yago, FOAF - Friend of a Friend)
● A result clause, identifying what information to return from the query The
query pattern, specifying what to query for in the underlying dataset (Select)
● Query modifiers, slicing, ordering, and otherwise rearranging query results -
ORDER BY, GROUP BY

##EXAMPLE - Give me all cities & towns in Abruzzo with more than 50,000
inhabitants
PREFIX dbpclass: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/>
PREFIX dbpprop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT ?resource ?value
WHERE {
?resource a dbpclass:CitiesAndTownsInAbruzzo .
?resource dbpprop:populationTotal ?value .
FILTER ( ?value > 50000 )
}
ORDER BY ?resource ?value

Some PREFIX:
PREFIX owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX txn: <http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl#>

DBPEDIA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREFIX dbp: <http://dbpedia.org/>
PREFIX dbpowl: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX dbpres: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>
PREFIX dbpprop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
PREFIX dbpclass: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/>

Wikipedia articles consist mostly of free text, but also contain different types of
structured information: infobox templates, categorisation information, images,
geo-coordinates, and links to external Web pages. DBpedia transforms into RDF
triples data that are entered in Wikipedia. So creating a page in Wikipedia creates
RDF in DBpedia.

Example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction describes the movie. DBpedia creates a
URI: http://dbpedia.org/resource/wikipedia_page_name (where
wikipedia_page_name is the name of the regular Wikipedia html page) =
http://dbpedia.org/page/Pulp_Fiction. Underscore characters replace spaces.
DBpedia can be queried via a Web interface at ttp://dbpedia.org/sparql . The
interface uses the Virtuoso SPARQL Query Editor to query the DBpedia endpoint.

Public SPARQL Endpoint - use OpenLink Virtuoso
Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction
DBPedia resource: http://dbpedia.org/page/Pulp_Fiction
InfoBox: dbpedia-owl:abstract; dbpedia-owl:starring; dbpedia-owl:budget;
dbpprop:country; dbpprop:caption ecc.
For instance, the figure below shows the source code and the visualisation of an
infobox template containing structured information about Pulp Fiction.

data between different data sources.

SPARQL queries have two parts (FROM is not indispensable):
1. The query (WHERE) part, which produces a list of variable bindings (although
some variables may be unbound).
2. The part which puts together the results. SELECT, ASK, CONSTRUCT, or
DESCRIBE.
Other keywords:
UNION, OPTIONAL (optional display if data exists), FILTER (conditions), ORDER
BY, GROUP BY

SELECT - is effectively what the query returns (a ResultSet)
ASK - just looks to see if there are any results
COSTRUCT - uses a template to make RDF from the results. For each result row
it binds the variables and adds the statements to the result model. If a template
triple contains an unbound variable it is skipped. Return a new RDF-Graph
DESCRIBE - unusual, since it takes each result node, finds triples associated with
it, and adds them to a result model. Return a new RDF-Graph

set of related things together!
