RDF Insert Methods in Virtuoso

Using this approach we can upload RDF resources into Virtuoso's WebDAV? repository and then automatically upload the triples within the resource into the Virtuoso Quad store (if you so choose via Virtuoso's special RDF Sink Folder? feature of WebDAV? ).

HTTP PUT Example 1

File: myfoaf.rdf
Destination Server: demo.openlinksw.com

curl -T myfoaf.rdf http://demo.openlinksw.com/DAV/home/demo/rdf_sink/myfoaf.rdf -u demo:demo

HTTP PUT Example 2

Create a folder of type "Linked Data Import" for an ODS user with the Briefcase application
1. Go to http://cname/ods, click the "Sign In" link and login as user "demo" for example;
2. Click the Briefcase application from the left vertical navigation bar;
3. Click "New Folder";
4. In the presented form specify the folder name and type, for example:
  - Folder name: "MyData?";
  - Folder type: "Linked Data Import"
5. Go to the tab "Linked Data Import";
6. Specify "Graph name", for example "urn:mydata";
7. Select the "Sponger (on/off)" check-box option to enable the Virtuoso sponger for use.
  - Optionally you can select which cartridges to be included from the "Sponger Extractor Cartridges" and "Sponger Meta Cartridges" lists:
8. Click "Create".
As result the new folder will be created.

Assume the existence of a local file called "kidehen.n3" containing:


<http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> .
<http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> 	"Kingsley" .
<http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#creator_of> <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com/weblog/kidehen@openlinksw.com%27s%20BLOG%20%5B127%5D/1300> .

Run the following command from a terminal shell, where cname is replaced with the actual Virtuoso host:port to load the file to the specified location:


$ curl -T kidehen.n3 http://cname/DAV/home/demo/MyData/ -u demo:demo
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
  <HTML>
    <HEAD>
      <TITLE>201 Created</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
      <H1>Created</H1>Resource /DAV/home/demo/MyData/kidehen.n3 has been created.
    </BODY>
  </HTML>

Go to Briefcase application and view the content of the folder "DAV/home/demo/MyData"
As a result of the curl command to uploaded file "kidehen.n3" an additional file "urn_mydata.RDF" is available as the identifier for the Linked Data graph created in the Quad Store:
The inserted triples can be queried from the Virtuoso SPARQL endpoint, i.e. http://cname/sparql by:
1. Entering the query below in the "Query Text" window:
```
SELECT * 
FROM <urn:mydata>
WHERE 
  {
    ?s ?p ?o
  }
```
2. Click the "Run Query" button;
3. The inserted triples from the "kidehen.n3" is displayed as the result set:

HTTP POST

Virtuoso's support for HTTP content negotiation and the SPARQL Protocol enables the execution of SPARUL as part of an HTTP POST payload using Content-Type: application/sparql-query.

HTTP POST Example 1

For user demo from Conductor -> System Admin -> User Accounts -> user demo -> Edit make sure the following properies are set:
- User type is SQL/ODBC and WebDAV?;
- Accounts Roles contains in "Selected" list SPARQL_UPDATE:
From Conductor -> Web Application Server -> Content Management or ODS Briefcase UI create a DAV collection "xx" with the following properties:
- owner is user demo (the user's password let's say is "demo");
- permissions set to rwxrwxrwxn:

Execute the following command:


curl -i -d "INSERT {<http://demo.openlinksw.com/DAV/home/demo_about.rdf> 
<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User>}"  -u "demo:demo"
-H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query" http://localhost:8890/DAV/xx/yy

The response should be:


HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Server: Virtuoso/05.00.3023 (Win32) i686-generic-win-32  VDB
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 12:50:12 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
MS-Author-Via: SPARQL
Content-Length: 0

the result in the DAV/xx location will be a new WebDAV? resource with name "yy" containing the inserted RDF:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"

rdf:resource="http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User"/>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

HTTP POST Example 2

Create a DAV collection, for ex. with name "test" for user for ex. demo with password demo.
- Note: user "demo" should have from "User type": SQL/ODBC and WebDAV? and should have "SPARQL_UPDATE" role set from Conductor -> System Admin -> User Accounts -> user demo' Edit Properties.

Execute the following command:


curl -i -d "INSERT IN GRAPH <http://mygraph.com> 
{ <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this>

  } " -u "demo:demo" -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query" http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/demo/test/myrq

As result the response will be:

Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:25:25 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
MS-Author-Via: SPARQL
Content-Length: 0

Now let's check the inserted triples. Go to the SPARQL endpoint, i.e., http://localhost:8890/sparql and:

Enter for Default Graph URI:
```
http://mygraph.com
```
Enter in the Query area:
```
SELECT * WHERE {?s ?p ?o}
```
Click the button "Run Query"

As result will be shown the inserted triples:

Examples using LOAD feature of SPARUL

Using the file: protocol specifier

A RDF file can be loaded from an absolute path on the file system (whose location is specified in the DirsAllowed? param in the INI file) using the file:/// protocol specifier:


SQL> sparql load <file://home/virtuoso/database/data/test.rdf> into <test>;

Done. -- 48 msec.
SQL> sparql select count(*) from <test> where {?s ?p ?o};
callret-0
INTEGER
_______________________________________________________________________________

31

1 Rows. -- 1 msec.
SQL>

A RDF file can also be uploaded directly from the Virtuoso Web Server root(~/vsp) directory using the file:/ protocol specifier:


SQL> sparql load <scheme:/test.rdf> into <test>; 
Done. -- 8 msec.
SQL> sparql select count(*) from <test> where {?s ?p ?o};
callret-0
INTEGER
_______________________________________________________________________________

31

1 Rows. -- 1 msec.
SQL>

Using a SPARQL query stored on DAV

Execute from ISQL:


SPARQL INSERT IN GRAPH <http://mygraph.com> 
{ 
  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Kingsley#this> 
  <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> .

  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Kingsley#this> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> 
  <Kingsley> .

  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Caroline#this> 
  <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> .

  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Caroline#this> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> 
  <Caroline> .

  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Matt#this> 
  <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> .

  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/Matt#this> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> 
  <Matt> .

  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/demo#this> 
  <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User> .

  <http://myopenlink.net/dataspace/demo#this> 
  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#id> 
  <demo> .

};

Create DAV collection which is visible to public, for ex: http://localhost:8890/DAV/tmp

Upload to the DAV collection the following file for ex. with name listall.rq and with the following content:


PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX sioc: <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#>
SELECT ?x ?p ?o
FROM <http://mygraph.com>
WHERE 
  {
    ?x rdf:type sioc:User .
    ?x ?p ?o.
    ?x sioc:id ?id .
    FILTER REGEX(str(?id), "^King")
  }
ORDER BY ?x

Now from ISQL execute the following command:


SPARQL 
LOAD bif:concat ("http://", bif:registry_get("URIQADefaultHost"), "/DAV/tmp/listall.rq") INTO GRAPH <http://myNewGraph.com>;

As result should be shown the message:


callret-0
VARCHAR
_______________________________________________________________________________

Load <http://localhost:8890/DAV/tmp/listall.rq> into graph <http://myNewGraph.com> -- done

1 Rows. -- 321 msec.

SPARQL Insert via /sparql endpoint

SPARQL INSERT operation can be sent to a web service endpoint as a single statement and executed in sequence.

Example

Using the Virtuoso ISQL tool or using the /sparql UI, for ex. at http://localhost:8890/sparql, execute the following:

Insert into graph http://BookStore.com 3 triples:


SPARQL INSERT IN GRAPH <http://BookStore.com> 
{ <http://www.dajobe.org/foaf.rdf#i> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> <1999-04-01T00:00:00> .
  <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> <1998-05-03T00:00:00> .
  <http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/#me> <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> <2001-02-08T00:00:00> };

As result will be shown the message:


Insert into <http://BookStore.com>, 3 triples -- done

Next we will select all triples from the graph http://BookStore.com:
```
SPARQL SELECT * FROM <http://BookStore.com> WHERE {?s ?p ?o};
```

As result will be shown:


s                                              p                                       o
VARCHAR                                        VARCHAR                                 VARCHAR
_______________________________________________________________________________

http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i    http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date    1998-05-03T00:00:00
http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/#me          http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date    2001-02-08T00:00:00
http://www.dajobe.org/foaf.rdf#i               http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date    1999-04-01T00:00:00

3 Rows. -- 0 msec.

Now let's insert into graph another http://NewBookStore.com graph's values:


SPARQL 
PREFIX dc:  <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
INSERT INTO GRAPH <http://NewBookStore.com> { ?book ?p ?v }
WHERE
  { GRAPH  <http://BookStore.com>
   { ?book dc:date ?date   
     FILTER ( xsd:dateTime(?date) < xsd:dateTime("2000-01-01T00:00:00")). 
     ?book ?p ?v.
   } 
  };

As result will be shown:


callret-0
VARCHAR
_______________________________________________________________________________

Insert into <http://NewBookStore.com>, 2 triples -- done

Finally we will check the triples from the graph NewBookStore.com:


SQL> sparql select * from <http://NewBookStore.com> where {?s ?p ?o};

As result will be shown:


s                                             p                                      o
VARCHAR                                       VARCHAR                                VARCHAR

Virtuoso Documentation for Manage RDF Storage

SPARQL Insert via HTTP Post using Content-Type: application/sparql-query and ODS wiki

With HTTP Post and ODS wiki, you can write an RDF document and perform INSERT/UPDATE actions over it.
You can write to a file using SIOC terms for ODS-Wiki.
You can check with sparql the inserted / updated triples in the Quad Store.

Example

Suppose there is ODS user test3 with ODS password 1, which has testWiki wiki instance.

Execute the following:


curl -i -d "INSERT {
  <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki>         <http://atomowl.org/ontologies/atomrdf#contains>   <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest>  .

  <http://localhost:8890/dataspace/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest>  <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#content>                  <test>
}" -u "test3:1" -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query" http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest

As result we should have 2 files created:

In the user DAV folder "DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki/" will be created a file "MyTest?" with type "application/sparql-query".

You can view the content of this file from from the Conductor UI or from the user's Briefcase UI, path "DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki":

It content will be:

1. You can view this file in path "DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki/" and its name will be "MyTest.txt".
2. Using the ODS wiki UI you can:
  1. Go to Index link
  2. As result the MyTest? article will be shown in the given list. Click on its link.
  3. As result the content of the article will be shown.

Now lets check what data was inserted in the Quad Store:

Go to the sparql endpoint, i.e. for ex. to http://localhost:8890/sparql

Enter for Default Graph URI:


http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test3/wiki/testWiki/MyTest

Enter for Query text:
```
SELECT * WHERE {?s ?p ?o}
```
Click the "Run Query" button.

As result will be shown the inserted triples:

Example Using WebDAV?

Mount folder to DAV and dump; if this is the rdf_sink the Quad Store is updated automatically, or you can load from DAV manually to quad store.

Using ODS Briefcase:

Go to your ods location, for ex. http://localhost:8890/ods
Register user, for ex. user test1
Login if not already in ods
Go to ODS ->Briefcase
Create new instance
Go to the briefcase instance by clicking its name link

Upload file in a new created folder mytest or in the rdf_sink folder with:

checked option "RDF Store"
set RDF Graph Name, for example, http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test1/<name of the current folder>/, e.g., http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test1/mytest/ or http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test1/rdf_sink/

For example, upload the following file with name jose.rdf.


<rdf:RDF xmlns="http://www.example/jose/foaf.rdf#"
    xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"
    xmlns:log="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/log#"

Execute the following query:


-- for specified user folder:
SELECT * FROM <http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test1/mytest/>
WHERE {?s ?p ?o}
-- or if the file is uploaded into the rdf_sink folder
SELECT * FROM <http://localhost:8890/DAV/home/test1/rdf_sink/>
WHERE {?s ?p ?o}

As result the following triples should be found:


s                                         p                                                  o

Example using Virtuoso PL APIs

In the example script we implement a basic mapper which maps a text/plain mime type to an imaginary ontology, which extends the class Document from FOAF with properties 'txt:UniqueWords?' and 'txt:Chars', where the prefix 'txt:' we specify as 'urn:txt:v0.0:'.


USE DB;

CREATE PROCEDURE DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META
    (
     IN     graph_iri       VARCHAR,
     IN     new_origin_uri  VARCHAR,
     IN     dest            VARCHAR,
     INOUT  ret_body        ANY,
     INOUT  aq              ANY,
     INOUT  ps              ANY,
     INOUT  ser_key         ANY
    )
{
  DECLARE words, chars INT;
  DECLARE vtb, arr, subj, ses, str ANY;
  DECLARE ses ANY;
  -- if any error we just say nothing can be done
  DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE '*'
    {
      RETURN 0;
    };
  subj := COALESCE (dest, new_origin_uri);
  vtb := vt_batch ();
  chars := LENGTH (ret_body);
  -- using the text index procedures we get a list of words
  vt_batch_feed (vtb, ret_body, 1);
  arr := vt_batch_strings_array (vtb);
  -- the list has 'word' and positions array, so we must divide by 2
  words := LENGTH (arr) / 2;
  ses := string_output ();
  -- we compose a N3 literal
  http (sprintf ('<%s> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Document> .\n', subj), ses);
  http (sprintf ('<%s> <urn:txt:v0.0:UniqueWords> "%d" .\n', subj, words), ses);
  http (sprintf ('<%s> <urn:txt:v0.0:Chars> "%d" .\n', subj, chars), ses);
  str := string_output_string (ses);
  -- we push the N3 text into the local store
  DB.DBA.TTLP (str, new_origin_uri, subj);
  RETURN 1;
}
;

--
DELETE FROM  DB.DBA.SYS_RDF_MAPPERS  WHERE  RM_HOOK = 'DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META';

INSERT SOFT  DB.DBA.SYS_RDF_MAPPERS (RM_PATTERN, RM_TYPE, RM_HOOK, RM_KEY, RM_DESCRIPTION)
    VALUES ('(text/plain)', 'MIME', 'DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META', null, 'Text Files (demo)');

-- here we set order to some large number so don't break existing mappers
UPDATE  DB.DBA.SYS_RDF_MAPPERS  SET  RM_ID = 2000  WHERE  RM_HOOK = 'DB.DBA.RDF_LOAD_TXT_META';

To test the mapper we just use /sparql endpoint with option 'Retrieve remote RDF data for all missing source graphs' to execute:


SELECT * 
  FROM <http://demo.openlinksw.com:8890/tutorial/hosting/ho_s_30/WebCalendar/tools/summary.txt> 
  WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }

Check the results here.

Important: Setting Sponger Permissions

In order to allow the Sponger to update the local RDF quad store with triples constituting the the Network Resource being fetched as structured data, the role "SPARQL_UPDATE" must be granted to the account "SPARQL". This should normally be the case. If not, you must manually grant this permission. As with most Virtuoso DBA tasks, the Conductor provides the simplest means of doing this.

Virtuoso on-line tutorial

Example using SIMILE RDF Bank API

Virtuoso implements the HTTP-based Semantic Bank API that enables client applications to post to its RDF Triple Store. This method offers an alternative to using Virtuoso/PL functions or WebDAV? uploads as the triples-insertion mechanism.

From your machine go to FireFox?->Tools->PiggyBank?->My Semantic Bank Accounts
Add in the shown form:
1. For bank address: http://demo.openlinksw.com/bank
2. For account id: demo
3. For password: demo
Go to demo.openlinksw.com/ods
Log in as user demo, password: demo
Go to the Weblog tab from the main ODS Navigation
Click on weblog instance name, for ex. "demo's Weblog".
When the weblog home page is loaded, click Alt + P.
As result is shown the "My PiggyBank?" page with all the collected information presented in items.
