Overview

GraphDB 6.4 introduces support for SPARQL-MM, a multimedia-extension for SPARQL 1.1. The implementation is based on code by Thomas Kurz.

Installation

The SPARQL-MM support is implemented as a GraphDB plugin, which is currently not enabled by default. To enable the plugin follow these steps:

Locate the plugin zip file in the plugins/sparql-mm folder of the GraphDB distribution.
Unzip the file into your plugins directory (by default root of unpacked web app/WEB-INF/classes/plugins}}.

Usage examples

Temporal Relations

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX mm: <http://linkedmultimedia.org/sparql-mm/ns/1.0.0/function#>

SELECT ?t1 ?t2 WHERE {
    ?f1 rdfs:label ?t1.
    ?f2 rdfs:label ?t2.
    FILTER mm:precedes(?f1,?f2)
} ORDER BY ?t1 ?t2

Temporal Aggregation

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX mm:  <http://linkedmultimedia.org/sparql-mm/ns/1.0.0/function#>

SELECT ?f1 ?f2 (mm:temporalIntermediate(?f1,?f2) AS ?box) WHERE {
    ?f1 rdfs:label "a".
    ?f2 rdfs:label "b".
}

Spatial Relations

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX mm: <http://linkedmultimedia.org/sparql-mm/ns/1.0.0/function#>

SELECT ?t1 ?t2 WHERE {
    ?f1 rdfs:label ?t1.
    ?f2 rdfs:label ?t2.
    FILTER mm:rightBeside(?f1,?f2)
} ORDER BY ?t1 ?t2

Spatial Aggregation

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>

SELECT ?f1 ?f2 (mm:spatialIntersection(?f1,?f2) AS ?box) WHERE {
    ?f1 rdfs:label "a".
    ?f2 rdfs:label "b".
}

Combined Aggregation

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX mm:  <http://linkedmultimedia.org/sparql-mm/ns/1.0.0/function#>

SELECT ?f1 ?f2 (mm:boundingBox(?f1,?f2) AS ?box) WHERE {
    ?f1 rdfs:label "a".
    ?f2 rdfs:label "b".
}

Accessor Method
