- 1 translation for SPARQL 1.1 Entailment Regimes
- Ελληνικά
The goal of this document is to specify conditions such that SPARQL can be used with entailment regimes other than simple entailment. Currently the semantics of SPARQL queries under RDF and RDFS entailment is defined. Time permitting, entailment regimes will also be defined for D-entailment, OWL with Direct and RDF-Based semantics including OWL 2 Profiles, and the rule interchange format RIF.

- 1 translation for SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store HTTP Protocol
- Ελληνικά
SPARQL provides a standard way to query RDF data. The SPARQL update language allows a user to update RDF graphs in an RDF dataset at various levels of granularity, including individual RDF statements. The protocol described here is meant to provide a minimal set of uniform, colloquial HTTP operations for managing a semantic web of network-manipulable RDF at a strictly large level of granularity.

This document is an overview of SPARQL 1.1. It provides an introduction to a set of W3C specifications that facilitate querying and manipulating RDF graph content on the Web or in an RDF store.

The SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language (SPARQL) is a query language and protocol for RDF. This document specifies the SPARQL Protocol; it uses WSDL 2.0 to describe a means for conveying SPARQL queries to an SPARQL query processing service and returning the query results to the entity that requested them.

RDF is a directed, labeled graph data format for representing information in the Web. The SPARQL specification defines the syntax and semantics of the SPARQL query language for RDF. This document describes changes that will be made to the SPARQL query language to form SPARQL 1.1 Query.

The formats CSV [RFC4180] (comma separated values) and TSV [IANA-TSV] (tab separated values) provide simple, easy to process formats for the transmission of tabular data. They are supported as input datat formats to many tools, particularly spreadsheets. This document describes their use for expressing SPARQL query results from SELECT queries.

This document describes SPARQL Service Descriptions, a method for discovering and vocabulary for describing SPARQL services made available via the SPARQL Protocol. Such descriptions are intended to provide a mechanism by which a client or end user can discover information about the SPARQL implementation/service such as supported extension functions and details about the available dataset.

This document describes SPARQL-Update, an update language for RDF graphs. It uses a syntax derived from SPARQL. Update operations are performed on a collection of graphs in a Graph Store. Operations are provided to change existing RDF graphs as well as create and remove graphs in the Graph Store.

RDF is a flexible, extensible way to represent information about World Wide Web resources. It is used to represent, among other things, personal information, social networks, metadata about digital artifacts like music and images, as well as provide a means of integration over disparate sources of information. A standardized query language for RDF data with multiple implementations offers developers and end users a way to write and to consume the results of queries across this wide range of information.
This document describes an XML format for the variable binding and boolean results formats provided by the SPARQL query language for RDF, developed by the W3C RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG), part of the Semantic Web Activity as described in the activity statement .

RDF is a directed, labeled graph data format for representing information in the Web. This specification defines the syntax and semantics of the SPARQL query language for RDF. SPARQL can be used to express queries across diverse data sources, whether the data is stored natively as RDF or viewed as RDF via middleware. SPARQL contains capabilities for querying required and optional graph patterns along with their conjunctions and disjunctions. SPARQL also supports extensible value testing and constraining queries by source RDF graph. The results of SPARQL queries can be results sets or RDF graphs.

This document describes SPARQL Property Paths. Property Paths give a more succinct way to write parts of basic graph patterns and also extend matching of triple pattern to arbitrary length paths. Property paths do not invalidate or change any existing SPARQL query.
Property paths are a time-permitting feature.

SPARQL is a query language for RDF data on the Semantic Web with formally defined meaning. This document is a simple introduction to the new features of the language, including an explanation of its differences with respect to the previous SPARQL Query Language Recommendation [SPARQL/Query 1.0]. It also presents the requirements that have motivated the design of the main new features, and their rationale from a theoretical and implementation perspective.
