SPARQLLoad[from]

is an update operator that can be applied to an RDFStore, which loads the graph located at from into the default graph.

SPARQLLoad[fromto]

loads the graph into the graph identified by to.

Details and Options

  • SPARQLLoad can be used in SPARQLExecute to load data into a SPARQL endpoint.
  • from is usually a URL or a File that contains the graph.
  • Data from the destination graph is not removed.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Wolfram Language code: Needs["GraphStore`"]

Data about countries:

Wolfram Language code: countryStore = ImportString[" prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> prefix wa: <http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=> prefix ex: <http://example.org/> wa:Entity%5B%22Country%22%2C%22Spain%22%5D rdfs:label \"Spain\"@en ; ex:population 46528024 . wa:Entity%5B%22Country%22%2C%22Hungary%22%5D rdfs:label \"Hungary\"@en ; ex:population 9778371 . ", "TriG"]

Create a "linkset" that links Wolfram and Wikidata entities:

Wolfram Language code: linkFile = File[CreateFile["links.ttl"]];
Wolfram Language code: WriteString[linkFile, " prefix wa: <http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=> prefix wd: <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/> prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> wa:Entity%5B%22Country%22%2C%22Spain%22%5D owl:sameAs wd:Q29 . wa:Entity%5B%22Country%22%2C%22Hungary%22%5D owl:sameAs wd:Q28 . "]

Load the linkset into the default graph:

Wolfram Language code: countryStore = countryStore//SPARQLLoad[linkFile]

Query the population of Hungary using its Wikidata ID (Q28):

Wolfram Language code: countryStore//SPARQLQuery[" prefix wd: <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/> prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> prefix ex: <http://example.org/> SELECT * WHERE { wd:Q28 ^owl:sameAs / ex:population ?population . } "]

Delete the linkset:

Wolfram Language code: DeleteFile[linkFile]
