Linked Data
“Linked Data” – Title of a Web Design Issues Note by Tim Berners-Lee An effort to evolve current “Web of Documents” into a “Web of Linked Data” Describes recommended best practice for injecting data into the Web
Use the RDF data model Name real or abstract things (resources) in your ‘universe of discourse’
(Data Spaces), using URIs as unique IDs Make URIs accessible via HTTP so people can discover and explore
your data via the Web Expose useful information via your URIs Enhance your URIs by adding links to other data on the Web using their
URIs, enhancing the link density and richness of the Web

Common Web & Different Nature of URIs
‘Linked Data Web’ and the ‘Document Web’: - two dimensions of the Web separated by a common element - the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
Document Web URIs
These always point to “physical” Web documents (aka information resources)
URI = a URL when it specifies a location
URI = a URN when it specifies a name (i.e. when not location bound)
Linked Data Web
URIs identify physical or abstract resources

What are Resources?
Web parlance for a Data Object or Entity that may be physical or abstract
Document Web Resources are physical units of information (containers of contextualized data)
Linked Data Web Resources are generic real-world data objects or entities that include:
People, Places, and other Things
Abstract concepts (e.g. Emotion)
Subject Matter (e.g. Science, Geography, Economics etc.)

Resource Identity, Representation, and Access
Identity (URI) of an Object or Entity should be unambiguous and globally unique
On the Web a URI should provide an unambiguous data access path
Reference to abstract (physically inaccessible) Objects or Entities is only achievable via conduit documents that carry representations of entity descriptions (which at best are facets of an entire description)
The descriptive representations of an Object or Entity must be distinct from their URIs
Data Access mechanisms must be independent and facilitate negotiation of representation.

Linked Data Deployment RequirementsTo establish real-world object URIs in the Linked Data Web realm, a Linked Data
Server needs to honour the following requirements: Unique Global Identity for Resources using HTTP-based URIs
Deployment platform needs ability to generate proxy Web resources to convey descriptions of real-world (possibly abstract) resources
Challenges:
Separation of Identity and Representation within the context of HTTP protocol mechanics
Negotiable representation of resource descriptions through Transparent Content Negotiation and client-side or server-side QoS algorithms
URL rewriting and query association

Real-World Object Naming - URI Schemes
Linked Data Web URIs can take two forms:
‘Slash’ URIs - don’t contain a fragment identifier (#) http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI/id
http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI/pagehttp://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI/data
Identify an entity, it’s HTML representation (document),and it’s RDF representation (document) respectively
‘Hash’ URIs - contain a fragment identifier http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this
Identifies the entity ALFKI, distinct from its representation (http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI)
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Handling Identity with ‘Slash’ URIsFor this URI scheme HTTP redirection (30X response) is
required in order for resource “Identity” to be separated from “representation”. Examples:
http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI/id - URI of an Organization Entity
http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI/ page - HTML representation of Entity description
http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI/data - RDF representation that describes the Entity which could be: Turtle, N3, RDF/XML etc. based data serialization
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Handling Identity with ‘Hash’ URIsFor this URI scheme HTTP redirection isn’t required in order
for resource “Identity” to be separated from “representation”. Examples:
http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this - URI of an Organization Entity
http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI - a document (HTML, Turtle, N3, RDF/XML) representation of Entity description
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Negotiable Representation of Resource Descriptions
Use HTTP’s in-built Content Negotiation mechanism to:
Serve different format variants of the same resource description from one location
Enable user agent (client-side) specification of preferred description representations by order of preference
Enable server-side specification of preferred description representations by order of preference
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Content Negotiation - Example
HTTP Request:HTML browser requests a HTML/XHTML document in English or French
GET /whitepapers/data_mngmnt HTTP/1.1Host: www.openlinksw.comAccept: text/html, application/xhtml+xmlAccept-Language: en, fr
Accept header indicates preferred MIME types RDF browser might instead stipulate a MIME type of
application/rdf+xml or application/rdf+n3
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Content Negotiation - Example
HTTP Response:Server redirects to a URL where the appropriate version can be found
HTTP/1.1 302 FoundLocation: http://www.openlinksw.com/whitepapers/data_mngmnt.en.html
Redirect is indicated by HTTP status code 302 (Found) Client then sends another HTTP request to the new URL HTTP defines several 3xx status codes for redirection
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Content Negotiation Decision Table
200 (OK) – return RDF based information resource <http://…/ALFKI> that describes the entity <http://…/ALFKI#this> using N3, Turtle, RDF/XML etc.
303 (Redirect) to (X)HTML document describing entity <http://…/ALFKI#this>,or 404 or 406 (Not available) if one doesn’t exist
Hash based URI (identifies an entity / object ID)
<http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this>
200 (OK) – if an RDF information resource exists on the server
200 OKWeb Resource URL

RDFRepresentation Requested
(X)HTMLRepresentation Requested
URI TypeURI
200 (OK) if an (X)HTML information resource (document) exists, or404 or 406 (Not available) if one doesn’t exist
For static descriptions of a Data Object:Assumes there are static HTML and RDF documents available to provide HTML and RDF representations of the customer entity ALFKI
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Dynamic RDF RenderingsIf entity descriptions are held in an RDF quad store:
To provide a dynamic RDF rendering of the entity being dereferenced by the client:
Use SPARQL DESCRIBE or CONSTRUCT DESCRIBE <entity-uri> FROM <graph-uri>
‘Unconstrained’ – DESCRIBE output not prescribed by SPARQL specification
Virtuoso supports custom procedures for generating output through SPARQL define sql:describe-mode
CONSTRUCT { <entity-uri> ?p ?o } FROM <graph-uri> WHERE { <entity-uri> ?p ?o }
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Content Negotiation Decision Table
200 (OK) – return RDF based information resource <http://…/ALFKI> that describes the entity <http://…/ALFKI#this> (N3, RDF/XML etc.)
You can use SPARQL DESCRIBE to deliver RDF based description
303 (Redirect) to (X)HTML document describing entity <http://…/ALFKI#this>,or 404 or 406 (Not available) if one doesn’t exist
Hash based URI (identifies an entity / object ID)

URL Rewriting
Is the act of modifying a URL prior to final processing by a Web server
Provides a means to build a URL ‘on the fly’ identifying the resource in the required representation format referred to by a 303 redirection
Ideal solution is a rules-based URL rewriting processing pipeline using regular expression or sprintf substitutions
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
URL Rewriting – Example Pipeline
Last(must be last in processing chain)
For 406:Vary: negotiate, accept Alternates: {“ALFKI” 0.9 {type application/rdf+xml}}
200 (OK), or 406 (Not acceptable), or 303 redirect to a URL which can render the requested representation
(text/html) | (*/*)/Northwind/Customer/([^#]*)
Normal(order irrelevant)
None303 redirect to a URL which DESCRIBEs the entity identified by the URI
(text/rdf.n3) | (application/rdf.xml)

Deploying Linked Data Using Virtuoso
Virtuoso’s approach is to implement the generic solution outlined so far, using Content negotiation URL rewriting
Virtuoso includes a Rules-based URL Rewriter Can be used to inject Linked Data into the Document Web
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Virtuoso - URL Rewriter Key Elements
Rewriting Rule Describes how to parse a source URL and compose the URL of the
resource returned in “Location:” response headers Two types: sprintf-based and regex-based
Rewriting Rule List Named, ordered list of rewriting rules or rule lists Tried from top to bottom, first matching rule is applied
Conductor UI for rewriting rule configuration Configuration API – alternative to Conductor UI, for scripts
Functions for creating, dropping, enumerating rules & rule lists

Conductor UI for URL Rewriter
Defining the SPARQL query underpinning the ‘Destination Path Format’ of the RDF/XML / N3 rewriting rule – Automatically URL encoded when saved
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Rewrite Rule Components in Conductor UI
Request Path Pattern e.g. (/[^#]*) a regular expression matched against the input path
Substitution parameters Each successive pair of parentheses in the regex
denotes a parameter referred to elsewhere in the rewrite rule as $U1, $U2, $U3 … or $s1, $s2, $s3 …
Can be used to substitute the part of the input path that was matched into the new URL being composed
$accept parameter substitutes matched content types specified in Accept header
‘U’ format specifier – URL encodes inserted text ‘s’ format specifier – inserts matched text ‘as is’
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
URL Rewriter – URIQADefaultHost Macro
URIQADefaultHost Macro Makes rewriting rules (& RDF View definitions) more
portable Each occurrence is substituted with the value of the
DefaultHost parameter in URIQA section of virtuoso.ini configuration file
DefaultHost ::= server name. e.g. www.example.com:8890
DESCRIBE <http:///^{URIQADefaultHost}^$U1#this> FROM <http://^{URIQADefaultHost}^/Northwind>
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
URL Rewriting Process for HTML Requests
HTML requests are redirected via proxy /about/html to a rendering template - description.vsp
description.vsp rendering of Customer entity<http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKI#this>
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
description.vsp – Rendering RDF as HTML
Destination path in rewrite rule for HTML requests:/about/html/http://^{URIQADefaultHost}^$s1 Redirects client to the Virtuoso ‘Page Description Service’
via proxy interface /about/html Page description services invokes description.vsp which in
turn invokes the Virtuoso Sponger Sponger: a customizable RDFizer with pluggable cartridges
Extracts RDF from the target URL Native RDF sources: RDF is returned ‘as is’ Non-RDF sources: Meta-data is extracted and converted
to RDF using ontology mapping and XSLT description.vsp renders the extracted RDF as HTML
Substitutes RDF ‘hyperdata’ links with HTML hyperlinks

Exporting URL Rewriting Rules from Conductor
Rewrite rules configured in Conductor can be exported as Virtuoso PL for backup, use on another system etc.
Exported script recreates rules using Virtuoso’s URL Rewriting Configuration API

URL Rewriter API: Enabling Rewriting
Enabled through vhost_define( ) function vhost_define( ) defines a virtual host or virtual path opts parameter is a vector of field-value pairs Field url_rewrite controls / enables URL rewriting Field value is the IRI of the rule list to applye.g. DB.DBA.VHOST_DEFINE (
lhost=>'*ini*', vhost=>'*ini*',lpath=>'/Northwind',ppath=>'/DAV/home/demo/',is_dav=>1, vsp_user=>'dba',ses_vars=>0, opts=>vector ('url_rewrite', 'demo_nw_rule_list1'), is_default_host=>0);

‘Nice’ URLs vs ‘Long’ URLs
Rewriter developed with broader objectives than Linked Data – consequently influenced terminology
Rewriter takes a ‘nice’ URL and rewrites it as a ‘long’ URL ‘Nice’ URL
Free from parameters, typically short ‘Long’ URL
Typically contains query string with named parameters Often ignored by web crawlers (viewed as highly
dynamic) => low page ranking
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Sprintf Rules vs Regex Rules
Rewrite rules take two forms: sprintf-based & regex-based: For ‘nice’ to ‘long’ URL conversion
Functionally equivalent Only difference is syntax of match pattern definition
For ‘long’ to ‘nice’ URL conversion Only works for sprintf-based rules Regex-based rules are unidirectional

URL Rewriter - Verification with curl
curl utility provides a useful tool for verifying HTTP server responses and rewriting rules
$ curl -I -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind/Customer/ALFKIHTTP/1.1 303 See OtherServer: Virtuoso/05.09.3037 (Solaris) x86_64-sun-solaris2.10-64 VDBConnection: closeContent-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:23:31 GMTAccept-Ranges: bytesLocation: http://demo.openlinksw.com/sparql?query=DESCRIBE+%3Chttp%3A//demo.openlinksw.com%2FNorthwind%2FCustomer%2FALFKI%23this%3E+%3Chttp%3A//demo.openlinksw.com%2FNorthwind%2FCustomer%2FALFKI%3E+FROM+%3Chttp%3A//demo.openlinksw.com/Northwind%3E&format=application%2Frdf%2BxmlContent-Length: 0
Note: default rule for RDF requests changed to return HTTP response 303, rather than use an internal redirect, to allow the generated SPARQL query to be viewed and checked with curl

Content Negotiation Revisited - TCN
Virtuoso supports two flavours of content negotiation: HTTP/1.1 style content negotiation (introduced earlier)
Server-driven negotiation only Transparent Content Negotiation (TCN)
Server-driven or agent-driven negotiation
Suitably enabled user agents / browsers can take advantage of TCN
Non-TCN capable user agents continue to be handled using HTTP/1.1 content negotiation
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Transparent Content Negotiation
A protocol defined by RFC2295, layered on top of HTTP/1.1 Addresses deficiencies in HTTP/1.1 content negotiation
Limited to server selecting best variant (server-driven negotiation)Server doesn’t always know/select best variantUser agent might often be better placed to decide what is best
for its needs Inefficient
Sending details of user agent's capabilities and preferences with every request is inefficient
Large number of Accept headers requiredVery few Web resources have multiple variants
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
Transparent Content Negotiation
Supports variant selection by user agent or by server Transparent - all variants on server are visible to the agent
Variant Selection by User Agent: User agent chooses best variant itself from variant list sent
by server Requires sending fewer/smaller ‘Accept’ headers
Variant Selection by Server: User agent can instruct server to select best variant on its
behalf Server uses ‘remote variant selection algorithm’ (RFC2296)
© 2009 OpenLink Software, All rights reserved
TCN – Basic MechanicsClient Supplies Negotiate* request header Content negotiation directives include:
"trans" => user agent supports TCN for the current request "vlist" - user agent wants a variant list for the resource
Variant list is expressed as an Alternates header. Implies "trans".
"*" - user agent allows servers and proxies to run any remote variant selection algorithm
Server Returns a TCN* response header signalling that the resource is
transparently negotiated and either a choice or a list response as appropriate
*New headers introduced by RFC2295

Example – Preferred format: XML Assumes Virtuoso WebDAV server contains 3 variants of resource named ‘page’:
/DAV/TCN/page.xml /DAV/TCN/page.html /DAV/TCN/page.txt
