Low reliability and availability of public SPARQL endpoints prevent real-world applications from exploiting all the potential of these querying infras-tructures. Fragmenting data on servers can improve data availability but degrades…
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 increasing amount of Linked Data and its inherent distributed nature have attracted significant attention throughout the research community and amongst practitioners to search data, in the past years. Inspired by research results from…
Federated query engines allow data consumers to execute queries over the federation of Linked Data (LD). However, as federated queries are decomposed into potentially thousands of subqueries distributed among SPARQL endpoints, data…
The number of linked data sources and the size of the linked open data graph keep growing every day. As a consequence, semantic RDF services are more and more confronted to various "big data" problems. Query processing is one of them and…
The Semantic Web offers access to a vast Web of interlinked information accessible via SPARQL endpoints. Such endpoints offer a well-defined interface to retrieve results for complex SPARQL queries. The computational load for processing…
We propose techniques for processing SPARQL queries over a large RDF graph in a distributed environment. We adopt a "partial evaluation and assembly" framework. Answering a SPARQL query Q is equivalent to finding subgraph matches of the…
The ability of the RDF data model to link data from heterogeneous domains has led to an explosive growth of RDF data. So, evaluating SPARQL queries over large RDF data has been crucial for the semantic web community. However, due to the…
RDF has seen increased adoption in recent years, prompting the standardization of the SPARQL query language for RDF, and the development of local and distributed engines for processing SPARQL queries. This survey paper provides 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 adoption of Semantic Web technologies, and in particular the Open Data initiative, has contributed to the steady growth of the number of datasets and triples accessible on the Web. Most commonly, queries over RDF data are evaluated over…
In this study, a novel metacrawling method is proposed for discovering and monitoring linked data sources on the Web. We implemented the method in a prototype system, named SPARQL Endpoints Discovery (SpEnD). SpEnD starts with a "search…
This document defines extensions of the RDF data model and of the SPARQL query language that capture an alternative approach to represent statement-level metadata. While this alternative approach is backwards compatible with RDF reification…
The federated query extension of SPARQL 1.1 allows executing queries distributed over different SPARQL endpoints. SPARQL-LD is a recent extension of SPARQL 1.1 which enables to directly query any HTTP web source containing RDF data, like…
We propose an efficient and scalable architecture for processing generalized graph-pattern queries as they are specified by the current W3C recommendation of the SPARQL 1.1 "Query Language" component. Specifically, the class of queries we…
The ability to efficiently find relevant subgraphs and paths in a large graph to a given query is important in many applications including scientific data analysis, social networks, and business intelligence. Currently, there is little…
Efficient usage of the knowledge provided by the Linked Data community is often hindered by the need for domain experts to formulate the right SPARQL queries to answer questions. For new questions they have to decide which datasets are…
In this paper, we propose a new approach for fast processing of SPARQL queries on large RDF datasets containing RDF quadruples (or quads). Our approach called RIQ employs a decrease-and-conquer strategy: Rather than indexing the entire RDF…
In this paper, we present an embedding-based framework (TrQuery) for recommending solutions of a SPARQL query, including approximate solutions when exact querying solutions are not available due to incompleteness or inconsistencies of…
Answering queries over a federation of SPARQL endpoints requires combining data from more than one data source. Optimizing queries in such scenarios is particularly challenging not only because of (i) the large variety of possible query…
