16.9.2. SPARQL endpoint REST API
With POST can be accomplished SPARQL Insert/Update etc.
The result is in the rdf_quad.
With GET Methods you can get the triples which are saved.
Examples:
Example 1:
Create a DAV collection xx for user demo with password demo.
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://example.com/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#" xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://demo.openlinksw.com/DAV/home/demo_about.rdf"> <ns0pred:type xmlns:ns0pred="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" rdf:resource="http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#User"/> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>
Example 2:
Create a DAV collection, for ex. with name "test" for user ( for ex. demo).
Execute the following command:
curl -i -d "INSERT IN GRAPH <http://mygraph.com> { <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/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/person/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> <Kingsley Uyi Idehen> . <http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/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> } " -u "demo:demo" -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-query" http://example.com/DAV/home/demo/test/myrq
As result the response will 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: 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://example.com/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:
s p o http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/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/person/kidehen@openlinksw.com#this http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Kingsley http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/person/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
