RDFstands for
Resource: pages, dogs, ideas...
everything that can have a URI
Description: attributes, features, and
relations of the resources
Framework: model, languages and
syntaxes for these descriptions
RDFis a triple model i.e. every
piece of knowledge is broken down into
( subject , predicate , object )
doc.html has for author Fabien
and has for theme Music
doc.html has for author Fabien
doc.html has for theme Music
( doc.html , author , Fabien )
( doc.html , theme , Music )
( subject , predicate , object )
Predicate
Subject
Object
a triplethe RDF atom
RDFis also a graph model
to link the descriptions of resources
RDFtriples can be seen as arcs
of a graph (vertex,edge,vertex)

writing rules for RDF triples
• the subject is always a resource (never a literal)
• properties are binary relations and their types are
identified by IRIs
• the value is a resource or a literal
blank nodes (bnodes)

linked data principles Use RDF as data format
 Use HTTP URIs as names for things so that
people can look up those names
 When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information
(RDF, HTML, etc.) using content negotiation
 Include links to other URIs so that related things can be discovered

graph mapping / projection
classical three clauses:
– Select: clause to select the values to be returned
– Where: triple/graph pattern to match
– Filter: constraints expressed using test functions
(XPath 2.0 or external)
SPARQL triples
• triples and question marks for variables:
?x rdf:type ex:Person
• graph patterns to match:
SELECT ?subject ?proprerty ?value
WHERE {?subject ?proprerty ?value}
• a pattern is, by default, a conjunction of triples
SELECT ?x WHERE
{ ?x rdf:type ex:Person .
?x ex:name ?name . }
question:
• Query:
SELECT ?name WHERE {
?x name ?name .

• Inside the FILTER:
– Comparators: <, >, =, <=, >=, !=
– Tests on variables : isURI(?x), isBlank(?x),
isLiteral(?x), bound(?x)
– Regular expression regex(?x, "A.*")
– Attributes and values: lang(), datatype(), str()
– Casting: xsd:integer(?x)
– External functions and extensions
– Boolean combinations: &&, ||
• In the where WHERE: @fr , ^^xsd:integer
• In the SELECT: distinct
other functions (v 1.1)
isNumeric(Val) test it is a numeric value
coalesce(val,…, val) first valid value
IRI(Str)/URI(Str) to build an iri/uri from a string
BNODE(ID) to build a blank node
RAND() random value between 0 and 1
ABS(Val) absolute value
CEIL(Val), FLOOR(Val), ROUND(Val)
NOW() today’s date
DAY(Date), HOURS(Date), MINUTES(Date),
MONTH(Date), SECONDS(Date),
TIMEZONE(Date), TZ(Date), YEAR(Date)
to access different parts of a date
MD5(Val), SHA1(Val), SHA256(Val),
SHA384(Val), SHA512(Val) hash functions
string / literal functions (v1.1)
STRDT(value, type) build a typed literal
STRLANG(value, lang) build a literal with a language
CONCAT(lit1,…,litn) concatenate a list of literal
CONTAINS(lit1,lit2), STRSTARTS(lit1,lit2),
STRENDS(lit1,lit2)
to test string inclusion
SUBSTR(lit, start [,length]) extract a sub string
ENCODE_FOR_URI (Str) encodes a string as URI
UCASE (Str), LCASE (Str) uppercase and lowercase
STRLEN (Str) length of the string

types of properties
• ObjectProperty are relations between resources only
e.g. hasParent(#thomas,#stephan)
• DatatypeProperty have a literal value possibly typed
ex:hasAge(#thomas,16^^xsd:int)
• AnnotationProperty are ignored in inferences and used
for documentation and extensions
algebraic properties
• Symmetric property, xRy  yRx
<owl:SymmetricProperty rdf:ID="hasSpouse" />
• Inverse property, xR1y  yR2x
<rdf:Property rdf:ID="hasChild">
<owl:inverseOf rdf:resource="#hasParent"/>
</rdf:Property>
• Transitive property, xRy & yRz  xRz
<owl:TransitiveProperty rdf:ID="hasAncestor" />
• Functional property, xRy & xRz  y=z
<owl:FunctionalProperty rdf:ID="hasMother" />
• Inverse functional property, xRy & zRy  x=z
<owl:InverseFunctionalProperty
rdf:ID="hasSocialSecurityNumber" />
