---++ SPARQL Sample Queries using Live Demonstration Data
This page presents examples of querying ODS RDF Graph via SPARQL.

---+++Querying ODS Data via RDF data mapped to SIOC Ontology

Graph IRI format: http://<cname>/dataspace

Examples:

   1 Public Demo Server Instance: http://demo.openlinksw.com/dataspace
   1 MyOpenLink Services (a demo instance of ODS): http://myopenlink.net/dataspace

---++++Setup Guide

   * MyOpenLink.net Service: You can either log on as user: <tt>test1</tt>, pwd: <tt>1</tt> or create a new account at http://myopenlink.net:8890/ods. 

   * Live Demo Server: You can either log on as user: demo, pwd: demo or create a new account at: http://demo.openlinksw.com/ods 

If you are creating a new account, please perform the following steps:

   1 Register under a username of your choosing
   1 Create ODS Application instances (aka Data Space Applications) for Briefcase, <nowiki>FeedManager</nowiki>, Mail, Blog, Wiki, Gallery, Bookmarks.
   1 Log under new user or use account: <tt>test1</tt> and then proceed to the "My Weblog"
   1 Create a few sample blog posts    
   1 Go to the "My Wiki" tab
   1 Create a sample Wiki article: Test1Sample, for instance
   1 Go to the Wiki Cluster Settings and press `Turn On' to enable Conversations
   1 Verify the "Conversation" feature by going to the "Discussions" tab in your ODS home, to see if a newsgroup has been automatically generated for your Wiki article. It should appear as: "oWiki-test1Wiki" assuming this is the name of your Wiki Data Space Instance
   1 From the <nowiki>WelcomeVisitors</nowiki> page clicks the Conversations link and sends one reply with body "This is sample reply"
   1 Create Data Space instances for the other ODS applications by clicking on the "My...." tabs which indicate each ODS Data Space
   1 Proceed to experiment with the SPARQL queries below.

---++++SPARQL Query Interfaces

The SPARQL Sample queries can be executed using Virtuoso's traditional console-based ISQL interface, the Web-based equivalent bundled with the Virtuoso Conductor Admin UI, or by using the iSPARQL Web Query Interface at http://myopenlink.net:8890/sparql_demo/ or exposed via the SPARQL endpoint at: http://myopenlink.net:8890/sparql/ . Of course you can also use the SPARQL Protocol to invoke these queries over HTTP using the SPARQL Query Endpoint at: http://myopenlink.net:8890/sparql/.

*Note*: If you are using SQL-based Data Access methods such as ISQL, ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, or XMLA , you must prepend each query with <b>sparql</b> which is the convention required for executing SPARQL via Virtuoso SQL. Also do not forget to terminate your queries with semicolons (<b>;</b>) when using the ISQL interface in console mode.
