SPARQL 1.1
• W3C Recommendation 21 March 2013
• New features in Query language:
- Aggregate functions: COUNT, SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG,
GROUP_CONCAT, and SAMPLE.
- Subqueries: Nest the results of a query within another query
- Negation: Check the absence of triples in a graph
- Expressions in SELECT: Introduce new variables in the SELECT clause
- Property paths: Search graphs through structures that involve
arbitrary-length paths
- Assignment: BIND keyword and expressions in SELECT and
GROUP_BY
- Short form for CONSTRUCT
- Expanded functions and operators: EXISTS, NOT EXISTS, SUBSTR,
etc.2

Other SPARQL 1.1 specifications
• Update
Language extension to express updates to an RDF graph/store
• Protocol
Changes related to the update operation
• Service description
Discover a SPARQL endpoint's capabilities and summary information of its data
• Graph Store HTTP Protocol
Update and fetch RDF graph content from a Graph Store over HTTP in the REST style
• Entailment Regimes
Define the semantics of SPARQL queries for some entailment frameworks: OWL
flavors, RDFS, RIF
• Federation Extensions
Take a query and provide solutions based on information from many different
sources
• Query Result JSON, CSV, TSV
3

ToC
• Update
• Federated queries
• Basic property paths

Federated Queries - Motivation
17
DBpedia
LinkedMDB
Query both datasets in an integrated way

What is exactly Federated SPARQL
Query?

Federated SQL queries within DBMS?
19
• Not so difficult if we are using the same
DBMS vendor
- MySQL to MySQL
- Oracle to Oracle
- PostgreSQL to PostgreSQL
• If we are dealing with different DBMS vendor
- Build wrappers

Federated SPARQL Query Syntax
