SHACL (SHApe Constraint Language) is a W3C standardized constraint language for RDF graphs. In this paper, we study SHACL validation in RDF graphs under updates. We present a SHACL-based update language that can capture intuitive and…
Over the past few years, we have seen the emergence of large knowledge graphs combining information from multiple sources. Sometimes, this information is provided in the form of assertions about other assertions, defining contexts where…
Many repositories utilize the versatile RDF model to publish data. Repositories are typically distributed and geographically remote, but data are interconnected (e.g., the Semantic Web) and queried globally by a language such as SPARQL. Due…
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) represents information as subject-predicate-object triples. These triples are commonly interpreted as a directed labelled graph. We propose an alternative approach, interpreting the data as a 3-way…
SPARQL is the W3C candidate recommendation query language for RDF. In this paper we address systematically the formal study of SPARQL, concentrating in its graph pattern facility. We consider for this study a fragment without literals and a…
RDF has become very popular for semantic data publishing due to its flexible and universal graph-like data model. Yet, the ever-increasing size of RDF data collections makes it more and more infeasible to store and process them on a single…
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a Semantic Web standard that provides a data language, simply called RDF, as well as a lightweight ontology language, called RDF Schema. We investigate embeddings of RDF in logic and show how…
Ontology-Mediated Query Answering (OMQA) is a well-established framework to answer queries over an RDFS or OWL Knowledge Base (KB). OMQA was originally designed for unions of conjunctive queries (UCQs), and based on certain answers. More…
RDF and Description Logics work in an open-world setting where absence of information is not information about absence. Nevertheless, Description Logic axioms can be interpreted in a closed-world setting and in this setting they can be used…
Current "data deluge" has flooded the Web of Data with very large RDF datasets. They are hosted and queried through SPARQL endpoints which act as nodes of a semantic net built on the principles of the Linked Data project. Although this is a…
Partial evaluation has recently been used for processing SPARQL queries over a large resource description framework (RDF) graph in a distributed environment. However, the previous approach is inefficient when dealing with complex queries.…
The Triple Pattern Fragment (TPF) interface is a recent proposal for reducing server load in Web-based approaches to execute SPARQL queries over public RDF datasets. The price for less overloaded servers is a higher client-side load and a…
In this paper, we present a novel approach -- called WaterFowl -- for the storage of RDF triples that addresses some key issues in the contexts of big data and the Semantic Web. The architecture of our prototype, largely based on the use of…
Recently, the SPARQL query language for RDF has reached the W3C recommendation status. In response to this emerging standard, the database community is currently exploring efficient storage techniques for RDF data and evaluation strategies…
Since the database update view was standardised in the Prolog ISO standard, the so called logical update view is available in all actively maintained Prolog systems. While this update view provided a well defined update semantics and allows…
Linked Data Fragments (LDFs) refer to Web interfaces that allow for accessing and querying Knowledge Graphs on the Web. These interfaces, such as SPARQL endpoints or Triple Pattern Fragment servers, differ in the SPARQL expressions they can…
The SPARQL query language is a recent W3C standard for processing RDF data, a format that has been developed to encode information in a machine-readable way. We investigate the foundations of SPARQL query optimization and (a) provide novel…
Increasing amounts of scientific and social data are published in the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Although the RDF data can be queried using the SPARQL language, even the SPARQL-based operation has a limitation in implementing…
The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) is the W3C Recommendation for validating a single RDF graph. This makes SHACL inadequate for validating data across (named) graphs in an RDF dataset. Existing workarounds, such as graph unions or…
The combination of the flexibility of RDF and the expressiveness of SPARQL provides a powerful mechanism to model, integrate and query data. However, these properties also mean that it is nontrivial to write performant SPARQL queries.…
