Tasks

Registering for GraphDB Free

To retrieve a download link for Ontotext's GraphDB Free tool, you first need to register. Here is the registration link (or search for "ontotext graphdb registration").

If you do not like registering for proprietary software, it is still possible to do most of the exercises using Blazegraph, which you can download here (requires Java). Blazegraph is a powerful open-source tool, but GraphDB offers even more functionality and is what the lab leaders will prepare for this semester.

Installing and running GraphDB

When you have received the download link in an email from the GraphDB Team, you can proceed to install and run GraphDB according to this Quick Start Guide. Follow the guide up to and including the section Run GraphDB as a Standalone Server¶.

Setting up a repository

Jump forward in the Quick Start Guide to the section Create a Repository. Create a new GraphDB Repository called, for example, info216_lab3_NN, where NN are your initials. Choose No inference for now. Otherwise, the default parameters are fine.

Connect to the new repository and pin it as your default repository.

Load data

Download the Turtle file File:Russia investigation kg.txt, and save it with the correct extension, as russia_investigation_kg.ttl (not .txt). (You can also experiment with the Turtle file you saved after exercises 1 and 2.) Load the Russia_investigation data through the GraphDB Workbench as described in the QuickStart guide.

You can use http://example.org/ as Base IRI.

Graph visualisation

Go to Explore -> Visual graph and create an Easy graph around the resource http://example.org#Roger_Stone. Double-click on nodes to expand them. Have there been more investigations involving Russia?

SPARQL tasks

Go to the SPARQL Query & Update tab.

Task: Using the data in russia_investigation_kg.ttl, write the following SPARQL SELECT queries. ( This page explains the Russian investigation KG a bit more.)

  • List all triples in your graph.
  • List the first 100 triples in your graph.
  • Count the number of triples in your graph.
  • Count the number of indictments in your graph.
  • List everyone who pleaded guilty, along with the name of the investigation.
  • List everyone who were convicted, but who had their conviction overturned by which president.
  • For each investigation, list the number of indictments made.
  • For each investigation with multiple indictments, list the number of indictments made.
  • For each investigation with multiple indictments, list the number of indictments made, sorted with the most indictments first.
  • For each president, list the numbers of convictions and of pardons made after conviction.

If you have more time

Task: Try to program some of the queries in a Python program (this will be the topic of later labs). You have two options:

Using rdflib: Read the Turtle file into an rdflib Graph and use the query() method.

g = Graph()
g.parse(..., format='ttl')
r = g.query(...your_query_string...)

The hard part is picking the results out of the object r...

Using SPARQLwrapper: You can use SPARQLwrapper (another Python API) to connect to your running GraphDB endpoint. See the Python example page for how to do this.
