Agenda
• SPARQL Query Federation Approaches
• SPARQL Query Federation Optimization
– Source Selection
– Data Integration Options
– Join Order Selection
– Join Order Optimization
– Join Implementations
• Performance Metrics and Discussion

SPARQL Query Federation Approaches
• SPARQL Endpoint Federation (SEF)
• Linked Data Federation (LDF)
• Linked Data Fragments Federation (LDFF)
• Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs)
• Hybrid

SPARQL Endpoint Federation Approaches
• Most commonly used approaches
• Make use of SPARQL endpoints URLs
• Fast query execution
• RDF data needs to be exposed via SPARQL
endpoints
• E.g., HiBISCus, FedX, SPLENDID, ANAPSID, LHD,
TopFed, QUETSAL etc.

Linked Data Federation Approaches
• Data needs not be exposed via SPARQL endpoints
• Uses URI lookups at runtime
• Data should follow Linked Data principles
• Slower as compared to previous approaches
• E.g., LDQPS, SIHJoin, WoDQA etc.

Linked Data Fragments Federation
• Federation over Linked Data Fragments
• Will be explained in upcoming session in detail

Query federation on top of Distributed Hash Tables
• Uses DHT indexing to federate SPARQL queries
• Space efficient
• Cannot deal with whole LOD
• E.g., ATLAS

Hybrid
• Federation over SPARQL endpoints and Linked
Data
• Can potentially deal with whole LOD
• E.g., ADERIS-Hybrid (of SEF+LDF)

Source Selection
Total triple pattern-wise sources selected =
1+1+1+1+8 => 12

Types of Source Selection
• Index-free
– Using SPARQL ASK queries
– No index maintenance required
– Potentially ensures result set completeness
– SPARQL ASK queries can be expensive
– Can make use of the cache to store recent SPARQL ASK queries results
– E.g., FedX
• Index-only
– Only make use of Index/data summaries
– Less efficient but fast source selection
– Result set completeness is not ensured
– E.g., DARQ, LHD
• Hybrid
– Make use of index+SPARQL ASK
– Most efficient
– Result set completeness is not ensured
– Can make use of the cache to store recent SPARQL ASK queries results
– E.g., HiBISCuS, ANAPSID, SPLENDID

Index-free Source Selection
Input: SPARQL query Q , set of all data sources D
Output: Triple pattern to relevant data sources map M
for each triple pattern ti in SPARQL query Q
Ri = {}; // set of relevant data sources for triple pattern ti
for each data source di in D
if SPARQL ASK(di , ti) = true
Ri = Ri U {di};
end if
end for
M = M U {Ri};
end for
return M What is the total number of SPARQL ASK requests used?
total number of triple patterns * total number of data sources

Index-only Source Selection (LHD)
Input: SPARQL query Q , set of all data sources D, data sources index I storing all distinct predicates for
all data sources in D
p = Pred(ti) // predicate of ti
if (bound (p))
Ri = Lookup (I, p) // index lookup for predicate of ti
else
Ri = D ; // all data sources are relevant
end if
M = M U {Ri} ;
end for
return M Why it is the less efficient approach (i.e., greatly overestimate relevant data sources)?
• Source selection is only based on predicate of triple patterns
• Simply select all data sources for triple patterns having unbound predicates

Hybrid Source
Selection

Source Selection
• Triple pattern-wise source selection
– Ensures 100% recall
– Can over-estimate capable sources
– Can be expensive, e.g., total number of SPARQL ASK
requests used
– Performed by FedX, SPLENDID, LHD, DARQ, ADERIS etc.
• Join-aware triple-pattern wise source selection
– Ensures 100% recall
– May selects optimal/close to optimal capable sources
– Can be expensive, e.g., total number of SPARQL ASK
requests used
– Can significantly reduce the query execution time
– Performed by ANAPSID, HiBISCuS

HiBISCuS: Hypergraph-Based Source Selection for
SPARQL Endpoint Federation
• Hybrid source selection
• Join-aware triple-pattern wise source selection
• Makes use of the hypergraph representation of
SPARQL queries
• Makes use of the URI authorities
• Makes use of the cache to store recent SPARQL
ASK queries results

Problem Statement
• An overestimation of triple pattern-wise source selection can
be expensive
– Resources are wasted
– Query runtime is increased
– Extra traffic is generated
• How do we perform join-aware triple pattern wise source
selection in time efficient way?

HiBISCuS: Key Concept
• Makes use of the URI’s authorities

Total triple pattern-wise selected sources = 5
Total SPARQL ASK queries : 0

Complete Local Integration
• Triple patterns are individually and completely
evaluated against every endpoint
• Triple pattern results are locally integrated using
different join techniques, e.g., NLJ, Hash Join etc.
• Less efficient if query contains common
predicates such rdf:type and owl:sameAs
• Large amount of potentially irrelevant
intermediate results retrieval

Iterative Integration
• Evaluate query iteratively pattern by pattern
• Start with a single triple pattern
• Substitute mappings from previous triple pattern
in the subsequent evaluation
• Evaluate query in a NLJ fashion
• NLJ can cause many remote requests
• Block NLJ fashion minimize the remote requests

Join Order Selection
• Left-deep trees
– Joins take place in a left-to-right sequential order
– Result of the join is used as an outer input for the next join
– Used in FedX, DARQ
• Right-deep trees
– Joins take place in a right-to-left sequential order
– Result of the join is used as an inner input for the next join
• Bushy trees
– Joins take place in sub-tress both on left and right sides
– Used in ANAPSID
• Dynamic programming
– Used in SPLENDID

Join Order Selection Example
Compute Micronutrients using Drugbank and KEGG
SELECT ?drug ?title WHERE {
?drug drugbank:drugCategory drugbank-cat:micronutrient. // TP1
?drug drugbank:casRegistryNumber ?id . // TP2
?keggDrug rdf:type kegg:Drug . // TP3
?keggDrug bio2rdf:xRef ?id . // TP4

Goal: Execute smallest cardinality joins first

Join Order Optimization
• Exclusive Groups
– Group triple patterns with the same relevant data source
– Evaluation in a single (remote) sub-query
– Push join to the data source, i.e., endpoint
• Variable count-heuristic
– Iteratively determine the join order based on free variables
count of triple patterns and groups
– Consider “resolved ” variable mappings from earlier iteration
• Using Selectivities
– Store distinct predicates, avg. subject selectivities , and avg.
object selectivities for each predicate in index
– Use the predicate count, avg. subject selectivities , and avg.
object selectivities to estimate the join cardinality

Exclusive Groups
SELECT ?President ?Party ?TopicPage WHERE {
?President rdf:type dbpedia-yago:PresidentsOfTheUnitedStates .
?President dbpedia:party ?Party .
?nytPresident owl:sameAs ?President .
?nytPresident nytimes:topicPage ?TopicPage .

How to calculate avgPredJoinSel, avgSbjJoinSel, and avgObjJoinSel?
DARQ selected 0.5 as the avgJoinSel value for all joins

Join Implementations
• Bound Joins
– Start with a single triple pattern (lowest cardinality)
– Substitute mappings from previous triple pattern in the
subsequent evaluation
– Bound Joins in NLJ fashion
• Execute bound joins in nested loop join fashion
• Too many remote requests
– Bound Joins in Block NLJ fashion
• Execute bound joins in block nested loop join fashion
• Make use of SPARQL UNION construct
• Remote requests are reduced by the block size
• Other Join techniques
– E.g, Hash Joins

Bound Joins in Block NLJ
SELECT ?President ?Party ?TopicPage WHERE {
?President rdf:type dbpedia:PresidentsOfTheUnitedStates .
?President dbpedia:party ?Party .
?nytPresident owl:sameAs ?President .
?nytPresident nytimes:topicPage ?TopicPage .
}
Assume that the following intermediate results have been computed as input for the last triple pattern
Block Input
“Barack Obama”
“George W. Bush”
…
Before (NLJ)
SELECT ?TopicPage WHERE { “Barack Obama” nytimes:topicPage ?TopicPage }
SELECT ?TopicPage WHERE { “George W. Bush” nytimes:topicPage ?TopicPage }
…
Now: Evaluation in a single remote request using a SPARQL UNION
construct + local post processing (SPARQL 1.0)

Parallelization and Pipelining
• Execute sub-queries concurrently on different data
sources
• Multithreaded worker pool to execute the joins
and UNION operators in parallel
• Pipelining approach for intermediate results
• See FedX and LHD implementations

Performance Metrics and Discussion

Performance Metrics
• Efficient source selection in terms of
– Total triple pattern-wise sources selected
– Total number of SPARQL ASK requests used during source
selection
– Source selection time
• Query execution time
• Results completeness and correctness
• Number of remote requests during query execution
• Index compression ratio (1- index size/datadump size)
• See https://code.google.com/p/bigrdfbench/

Evaluation Setup
• Local dedicated network
• Local SPARQL endpoints (One per machine)
• Run each query 10 times and present the average results
• Statistically analyzed the results, e.g., Wilcoxon signed rank
test, student T-test

SPARQL Query Federation Engines
• FedX
• SPLENDID
• HiBISCuS+FedX
• HiBISCuS+SPLENDID
• ANAPSID
• LHD
• DARQ
• QUETSAL
• TopFed
• DAW 80
