What is Semantics?
A different way of organizing and searching information

What is Semantics?
A different way of organizing and searching information
Data stored in Triples
Expressed as Subject : Predicate : Object
Example:
"John Smith" : livesIn : "London"
"London" : isIn : "England"

What is Semantics?
A different way of organizing and searching information
Data stored in Triples
Expressed as Subject : Predicate : Object
Example:
"John Smith" : livesIn : "London"
"London" : isIn : "England"
Rules tell us something about the triples
Example:
If (A livesIn X) AND (X isIn Y) then (A livesIn Y)
Inference: "John Smith" : livesIn : "England"

Language: SPARQL is a language designed to query triples.
It looks a bit like SQL

Why do you care about Semantics?
Companies and organizations across all verticals
 Publishing: Dynamic Semantic Publishing (BBC)

Manage and leverage facts + documents for a rich user experience
 Pharma: facts about drugs + reports on clinical trials

Find new cures for diseases

Make decisions about what to research next
 Financial Services: reduce risk, comply with regulations

Report on exposure

Know where each piece of data came from
 Government Agencies: facts on file + intelligence reports

Find bad guys
 Civilian Government: Open Data

Slide 17

Dynamic Semantic Publishing
BBC Sports
The Challenge
Size and Complexity:
 # of athletes
 # of teams
 # of assets (match
reports, statistics, etc.)
 # of relations (facts)
Goals
 Rich user experience

See information in context

Personalize content

Easy navigation

Intelligently serve ads
(outside of UK)
 Manageable

Static pages?
Too many, too fast-changing
 Limited number of journalists

Slide 18

Automate as much as possible
BBC page for "West Ham" shows:
 News story about Andy Carroll

Carroll playsFor West Ham
 Latest results for West Ham

West Ham isIn this match
 League table for Premier League

West Ham playsIn Premier League
 Video/audio/news related to

West Ham's manager
West Ham's league

Dynamic Semantic Publishing: A Solution
MarkLogic
Triple Store
 Store, manage documents
 Metadata about documents

Stories

Tagged by journalists

Blogs

Added (semi-)automatically

Feeds

Inferred

Profiles
 Store, manage values

Statistics
 Full-Text search
 Performance, scalability
 Robustness
Slide 21
Copyright © 2013 MarkLogic® Corporation. All rights reserved.
 Facts reported by journalists
 Real-world facts from the
Open Data Web
Dynamic Semantic Publishing: A Solution
MarkLogic
Triple Store
 At query time, dynamically aggregate stories, blogs, feeds,
images, profiles, results, statistics, videos for a particular
concept such as "West Ham".
(See Jem Rayfield, BBC, http://bbc.in/I1NdkB)
 w e are not publishing pages, but publishing
content as assets which are then organized by the
metadata dynamically into pages
(John O'Donovan, BBC and PA)

XQuery and Triples
Load triples from an external source
sem:rdf-load(http://example.org/bigdata.rdf,“rdfxml”)
Construct a triple in XQuery
sem:triple(
sem:iri(“http://example.org/subject”),
sem:iri(“http://example.org/predicate”),
“object”
)
Extract triples from a document…

Facts
A mini case study
http://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/index
<tr>
<td class="ranking">1</td>
<td class="city-name"><a
href="http://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/oslo">Oslo
(Norway)</a></td>
<td class="price-index">267</td>
</tr>
…

Extracting Facts
Case study continued
let $html := xdmp:document-get(…)
let $rows := ($html//html:tr)[html:td/@class eq 'ranking']
let $build := sem:rdf-builder(sem:prefixes("my: http://example.org/vocab/"))
for $row in $rows
let $node := "_:" || $row/html:td[@class eq 'ranking']
return (
$build($node, "my:rank", xs:decimal( $row/html:td[@class eq 'ranking'] )),
$build($node, "rdfs:label", xs:string( $row/html:td[@class eq 'city-name'] )),
$build($node, "my:cola", xs:int( $row/html:td[@class eq 'price-index'] ))
)

It’s all about the connections
Subjects/Objects can point to database URIs
@prefix db: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>.
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>.
_:Person1 foaf:name “Micah Dubinko”.
_:Person1 foaf:mbox <mailto:[email protected]>.
_:Person1 foaf:depiction <http://example.org/dubinko.jpg>.
run SPARQL query and from the results, extract the image
let $img-url := (…get from SPARQL…)
return fn:doc($img-url)

It’s all about the connections
Documents can contain triple markup
<article>
<info>
<title>News for April 9, 2013</title>
<sem:triple>
<sem:subject>http://example.org/article</sem:subject>
<sem:predicate>http://example.org/mentions</sem:predicate>
<sem:object>http://example.org/Steve_Jobs</sem:object>
</sem:triple>
…
Query documents based on contained triples
cts:triple-range-query((), (), $match, ‘sameTerm’ )

Blended queries
Semantic queries with Search API
A semantic query can drive the construction of a custom query
declare function semquery:parse(…) {
run sparql query to determine meaning of “South Bay”
use sparql results to construct a particular polygon
feed polygon into generated query that Search API will use
}

REST API
Three approaches: graphs, queries, and things
CRUD on graphs
GET /v1/graphs?default
PUT /v1/graphs?graph=http://example.org/g
DELETE /v1/graphs?graph=http://example.org/g
Interoperable query support
POST /v1/graphs/sparql
(…SPARQL in POST body…)
Wander through your data
GET /v1/things?iri=http://dbpedia.org/resource/XML

What is RDF?
:birth-place
:place5
:person4
:first-name
“John”
:birth-place
:person5
Slide 38
:has-child

What is RDF?
RDF
•
•
•
•
Schema-less
Triple granularity
Open world assumption
Joins - the cost of granularity

Why use RDF?
RDF
• Born or extracted to RDF
• Denormalize into XML by default
• Lift data into RDF if you need to:
•
•
•
•
Slide 40
combine it with disparate data sources
navigate it like a graph
use it for relationships or taxonomy
expose it as RDF to end users

Triple Index
TRIPLE
•
•
•
•
•
•
3 triple orders
Cached for performance
Works seamlessly with other indexes
Security
350 bytes per triple on disk
1 billion+ triples per host

SPARQL
SPARQL
select * where {
?person :birth-place ?place;
:first-name “John”
}
•
•
•
•
•
Executed using the triple index
SPARQL 1.0
Cost-based optimization
Join ordering and algorithms
