1. OGSA-DAI-RDF & Its Ontology Interfaces Isao Kojima and Masahiro Kimoto Data Grid Team, Grid Technology Research Center http://www.dbgrid.org/ http://www.gtrc.aist.go.jp/ AIST （ ↓ ）,Japan RDF, Ontologies and Meta-Data Workshop at Uk e-Science Centre 8 th June, 2006

2. Summary OGSA-DAI RDF Implementation of OGSA-DAI RDF Prototype Web(Grid) Service based access to RDF databases RDF – Supports RDF database type to OGSA-DAI database middleware ActivitiesSPARQL – RDF handling Activities including SPARQL query processing Supports Jena and Sesame Supports RDFS/OWL –Ontology –Ontology Interfaces implementation Based on the Ontogrid’s WS-DAIO initial(old) Proposal Specs –Schema & Instance Handling Interfaces –Supports Jena –Supports RDFS/OWL –Current Status and Future Directions

3. Approach OGSA-based: Web Service InterfacesOGSA-based: Web Service Interfaces –Use of Globus Toolkit/WS-RF –Can be combined with other Grid tools (GRAM,MDS,…..) Query Language (SPARQL)Query Language (SPARQL) –W3C Standard Query Language for RDF –Multi-Platform approach To support Jena, Sesame,,,,,,, (Oracle?) OGSA-DAI: –Activity Framework To combine RDF databases other data resources –XMLDBs, Relational DBs(and Files) To achieve RDF database workflow programming –DataConversion, Data Transfer,( Web Services)

4. OGSA-DAI OGSA-DAI: http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/ –UK e-Science R&D project for grid DB middleware Service-based Database Query and Integration –RDB:SQL (Oracle,PostgreSQL,MySQL,DB2,,,) –XML-DB: XPath and XQuery (Xindice,eXist,,,) –Integration tool OGSA-DQP for RDBs Supports Grid Middleware –WS-RF(Globus Toolkit 4) –WS-I(OMII)

5. OGSA-DAI-RDF Not available for some version OGSA-DAI Activities: Set of Primitives for Data Processing Relational, XML, File Transfer, Data Conversion/Compression RDF Activities OGSA-DAI-RDF: Set of RDF Processing Activities

6. Implemented Activities (Platform Independent = All activity supports Jena and Sesame) 1.SPARQL QueryStatement Activity –W3C Standard SPARQL for Jena/Sesame 2.RDF Resource(triple)Management Activity –Create/Delete RDF triples,statements 3.RDF Collection(model)Management Activity –Create/Delete/List RDF databases(model,repository) 4.RDF BulkLoad Activity –Bulk loading functions of RDF triples –To achieve common Interface Pattern with Relational, XML-DBs. 5. Ontology Interfaces (based on the Ontogrid’s WS-DAIO initial(old) specs) - Schema level Activity - Instance level Activity Query (SPARQL) & Instance Level (Without ontology) Appoach

7. OGSA-DAI-RDF demo(1): Multi-Platform Environment SPARQL GUI Query Interface for Jena/Sesame –Modified OGSA-DAI DataBrowser OGSA-DAI Data Service (WS-RF and WS-I) Sesame Jena SPARQL Statement Result is SPARQL/XML Format

8. OGSA-DAI Activity Framework RDF Activities can be combined with other OGSA-DAI Activities –Data Compression,Conversion and Transfer –Other database Resources (SQL-DB, XML-DB) Activity Programming –Support of Workflow Programming –Simple Distributed Processing Site1: 1.SPAQL query result is converted with XLSTransform Activity 2. The converted data is send to site2 by deliverTo Activity Site2: 1.Data is received with delverfrom Activity 2.Triples are inserted into the temporary model by ResourceManagement Activity 3.Anthoer query is done for this temporary model

9. Demo(2) : Distributed SPARQL Processing ( to show the power of OGSA-DAI Activity Framework) Parallel & Synchronized Data Processing over 3 different sites can be programmed with this Framework

10. Currently Supported Platforms Jena and Sesame –RDF(S) and OWL for Jena Middleware-> Depends on the Underlying Platforms –Operational Semantics –Functional Limitation Supported Implementation Type –On DBMS(RDB as default) –On Memory (Jena) –On File (Sesame) Can be specified OGSA-DAI resource config file Dai.data.resource.type=RDF

15. Specifications Our system aims to cover OWL and RDF(S) –We think it is very convenient to cover them in a single framework. First GGF DAIS specs for RDF will target RDF(S) –WS-DAI-RDF/Ont architecture should have some extensibility/compatibility for future OWL –Need to Synchronize R&D and the Spec Discussion Must have some compatibility with W3C SPARQL Protocol Security and Authorization: No idea at now Implementations Jena: – Simple wrapping of Jena Ontology API Sesame: – Each interface message is converted to the query representation On top of the current OGSA-DAI-RDF query module –Our current approach is based on SPARQL, not SeRQL Aims to be a yet another implementation of WS-DAI-RDF/Ont Restricted with Sesame SPARQL implementation Should wait for the future stable releases Feedbacks and Problems

16. Current Implementation & Roadmap Current Prototype OGSA-DAI-RDF Activities Query Interface=full function with basic updates Ontology interface= basic functions of WS-DAIO Demo Server environment is already set-up –If you have OGSA-DAI 2.1 and download the configuration XML, you can access our demo site using SPARQL –Current config xsds will be downloadble soon. June,2006. 1 st Release (without ontology) Version 0.9 Ready to be released now. Re-designing the interface: Possible inconsistency with future releases. Almost no english document Sep. 2006 or Nov. 2006 2 nd Release Version1.0 with Stable Spec (with ontology interface????)

17. Future Directions Distributed & Scalability –Distributed Query Processing? –Combine with P2P Query Processing? (presented yesterday by A.Matono) We think the single site performance is already the matter of the DB vendors. Multi-site performance and optimization is our concern Applications (related topic will be presented today by S.Mirza) –Resource Discovery & Management –Service Management for the Semantic SOA. –Database Integration (Geosciences, Clinical-bioinformatics) Collaboration –DAIS-RDF/Ont Spec Discussions / Ontogrid Project (F2F will be tomorrow) –Semantic Web Group within AIST
