Study Notes
Semantic Web Lecture: C04 SPARQL Query Evaluation
- The lecture covers SPARQL query evaluation, explaining how to get from queries to solutions.
Introduction to SPARQL Query Evaluation
- The set of slides are part of the lecture "Semantic Web Technologies," and have been updated for 2024-08-11.
- RWTH Aachen University holds the lecture.
- Andreas Harth, Maribel Acosta, and Lars Heling partially based the slides on the slides, and Lars Gleim prepared the slides.
- The content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0).
- RDF is used to publish and access data.
- SPARQL is used to pose queries against an RDF data set.
- SPARQL query various forms and modifiers are used.
Evaluating SPARQL Query
- The doc.ttl document bases the query that will be executed
- The evaluation of a SPARQL query against an RDF dataset involves computing the solutions of the query.
Computing Query Solutions
- The computation of solutions for a SPARQL query against a clause specified in the FROM clause involves:
- Translation of the SPARQL query into an algebra expression, algebra expression evaluation for graph patterns, evaluation the algebra expression of the query.
Translating Queries to Algebra Expressions
- Distinctions between the algebra expression for the conditions specified in the WHERE clause (SPARQL Graph Patterns) and the algebra expression for the query form.
- Algebra expression for query form and SPARQL Graph Patterns.
- A SPARQL graph pattern (or graph pattern) is built recursively.
- A triple pattern tp is a graph pattern.
- If P₁ and P2 are graph patterns, then P1 . P2 is a graph denoted (P1 JOIN P₂).
- If P₁ and P2 are graph patterns, then (P1 UNION P2) is a graph pattern.
- If P₁ and P2 are graph patterns, then (P₁ OPTIONAL P2) is a graph pattern.
- If P is a graph pattern and R is a filter condition (a boolean expression), then (P FILTER R) is a graph pattern.
- If g∈ (UUV), then (g GRAPH P) is a graph pattern if P is a graph pattern.
- Translation the WHERE clause of the SPARQL query into the algebra expression for graph patterns is covered in examples.
- Algebra expressions are defined for SELECT, ASK and CONSTRUCT query forms.
- A SPARQL SELECT query is of the form SELECTs(P).
- A SPARQL ASK query has the expression ASK(P) and a SPARQL CONSTRUCT query is an expression of the form CONSTRUCT(P,Q).
Pattern Matching & SPARQL Algebra
- Pattern matching: intuition involves the code WHERE(?borough : borough ?berlin, ?berlin :name "Berlin")
- Default graph uses population, locatedOnBank, borough, etc
- Pattern matching and the matching of borough to Pankow, Berlin
- It considers the following solution mappings μ1 and μ2.
- The domain of µ1 and 2 are as follows:
- A solution mapping is a partial function μ: V → (BULUU) from a subset of variables to RDF terms.
- The domain of a mapping μ, is the subset of V where u id defined.
- Vars(tp) indicates the variable in triple pattern tp
- U(tp) is triple pattern by replacing all x e dom(u) ^ vars(tp) in tp by u(x).
Compatibility of Solution Mappings
- Two mappings μ1, μ2 are compatible, written µ₁ ~ µ2, if ∀x ∈ dom(µ1)∩dom(µ2) : μ1(x) = μ2(x)
- Solution mappings can be considered for x, y, z, etc.
- empty solution mapping, µø, is the mapping whose domain is empty, i.e., dom(µø)
- All solution mappings is compatible with µø by definition of compatibility.
- An RDF instance mapping is a RDF mapping and does not involve variables.
- Blank nodes are the domain of the mapping.
- P matches G if there exists an RDF instance mapping σ and solution mapping µ, and if all triple pattern tp in P: the domain of o is the set of blank node.
- In tp, the domain of µ is the set of variables and µ(σ(tp)) is a subgraph of G.
- Datatypes literals are also compared.
SPARQL Algebra Operators
- SPARQL algebra defines the operators to combine sets of solution mappings, along with solution and RDF instance mappings. The operators are as follows:
- Join(Ωι, Ω) :={μι υ μy
- Union(Ω, Ω) := {μl
- Minus(Ω, Ω) := {μεΩι μγμεΩγ:μι~μγ} μενιor μεΩΝ
- R(µ) evaluations the instantiation of variables and returns with values. TRUE, FALSE, or error occurs 3ΕΩγ: μιαμγ
Eval Function for SPARQL Graph Patterns
- Eval is a function that translates SPARQL algebra expressions into SPARQL algebra operators following this definition: eval(D(G), P1 JOIN P2):= Join(eval(D(G), P₁), eval(D(G), P2)). eval(D(G), P₁ JOIN P2) corresponds to Eval(D(G), P1). Eval(D(G), P₁ UNION P2), Eval(D(G), P₂), Eval(D(G), P1 OPTIONAL P2) where the 1's and 2's correspond.
- Graph evaluates expressions and evaluations with a triple pattern corresponds to the definition matching pattern
Evaluation of the SPARQL eval function along with expression example has been shown.
- Function examples are shown for Evaluating the join expression
- Filter operator considers the set of solution
- The definition of the eval function is shown as the SPARQL query forms.
- The functions that specify the evaluation are (SELECT, ASK, and CONSTRUCT) query forms.
- Eval functions also provide SELECT which returns variables from the solutioin mapping, ask which returns false/true, and construct
SPARQL Set Semantics
- D is an RDF dataset and eval is a function that translates SPARQL algebra expression to: eval D(G)
Scoping Graph
- Scoping graph has been set to the definition of: satellite . the identifiers and blank nodes
- User agent Algorithm SPARQL
- Translating SPARQL and RDF triples into variables of set notation from different graph patterns is covered in the recap
- Evaluate SPARQL function with different triple patterns sets has been covered in the recap
Learning Goals
- Graph pattern matching
- Query SPARQL to generate queries
- Evaluate the expression on RDF sets
