Summary
Implementation of OGSA-DAI RDF Prototype
Web(Grid) Service based access to RDF databases
– Supports RDF database type to OGSA-DAI database
middleware
– RDF handling Activities including SPARQL query
processing
• Supports Jena and Sesame
• Supports RDFS/OWL
– Ontology Interfaces implementation
• Based on the Ontogrid’s WS-DAIO initial(old) Proposal Specs
– Schema & Instance Handling Interfaces
– Supports Jena
– Supports RDFS/OWL
– Current Status and Future Directions
Approach
• OGSA-based: Web Service Interfaces
– Use of Globus Toolkit/WS-RF
– Can be combined with other Grid tools
(GRAM,MDS,…..)
• Query Language (SPARQL)
– W3C Standard Query Language for RDF
– Multi-Platform approach
• To support Jena, Sesame,,,,,,, (Oracle?)
• OGSA-DAI:
– Activity Framework
• To combine RDF databases other data resources
– XMLDBs, Relational DBs(and Files)
• To achieve RDF database workflow programming
– DataConversion, Data Transfer,( Web Services)
OGSA-DAI
• OGSA-DAI: http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/
– UK e-Science R&D project for grid DB middleware
• Service-based Database Query and Integration
– RDB:SQL (Oracle,PostgreSQL,MySQL,DB2,,,)
– XML-DB: XPath and XQuery (Xindice,eXist,,,)
– Integration tool OGSA-DQP for RDBs
• Supports Grid Middleware
– WS-RF(Globus Toolkit 4)
– WS-I(OMII)

Instance Level
(Without ontology)
Appoach
Bulk loading functions of RDF triples
To achieve common Interface Pattern with Relational, XML-DBs.
5. Ontology Interfaces
(based on the Ontogrid’s WS-DAIO initial(old) specs)
- Schema level Activity
- Instance level Activity

OGSA-DAI Activity Framework
• RDF Activities can be combined with other OGSA-DAI Activities
– Data Compression,Conversion and Transfer
– Other database Resources (SQL-DB, XML-DB)
• Activity Programming
– Support of Workflow Programming
– Simple Distributed Processing
Site1:
1.SPAQL query result is converted with XLSTransform Activity
2. The converted data is send to site2 by deliverTo Activity
Site2:
1.Data is received with delverfrom Activity
2.Triples are inserted into the temporary model by ResourceManagement Activity
3.Anthoer query is done for this temporary model
Demo(2) : Distributed SPARQL Processing ( to show the
power of OGSA-DAI Activity Framework)
•Parallel & Synchronized Data Processing over 3 different
sites can be programmed with this Framework
Currently Supported Platforms
• Jena and Sesame
– RDF(S) and OWL for Jena
• Middleware-> Depends on the Underlying Platforms
– Operational Semantics
– Functional Limitation
• Supported Implementation Type
– On DBMS(RDB as default)
– On Memory (Jena)
– On File (Sesame)
Can be specified OGSA-DAI resource config file
Dai.data.resource.type=RDF

Implemented Ontology Interface Activities
This is only a prototype based on the obsolete specs
•To find the usefulness of these kind of interfaces
•To get the feedbacks for the future ontology interface discussion
•To explore the integrated architecture with Query interface and Ontology Interface
•To be a candidate for the second GGF reference implementation

PerformDocument Example: NCI Cancer Ontology
Import of NCI cancer ontology using the Activity Framework
1. Create a Model on RDB using RDF Collection(model)Management Activity
2. Get the data from the NCI site using the OGSA-DAI deliverFromActivity
3. Uncompress the file using the OGSA-DAI gZip Activity
4. Load the data with our RDF BulkLoad Activity
Access Example of the Ontology

Feedbacks and Problems
Specifications
• Our system aims to cover OWL and RDF(S)
– We think it is very convenient to cover them in a single framework.
• First GGF DAIS specs for RDF will target RDF(S)
– WS-DAI-RDF/Ont architecture should have some extensibility/compatibility for
future OWL
– Need to Synchronize R&D and the Spec Discussion
• Must have some compatibility with W3C SPARQL Protocol
• Security and Authorization: No idea at now
Implementations
• Jena:
–
Simple wrapping of Jena Ontology API
• Sesame:
– Each interface message is converted to the query representation
• On top of the current OGSA-DAI-RDF query module
– Our current approach is based on SPARQL, not SeRQL
• Aims to be a yet another implementation of WS-DAI-RDF/Ont
• Restricted with Sesame SPARQL implementation
• Should wait for the future stable releases
Current Implementation & Roadmap
• Current Prototype OGSA-DAI-RDF Activities
Query Interface=full function with basic updates
Ontology interface= basic functions of WS-DAIO
• Demo Server environment is already set-up
– If you have OGSA-DAI 2.1 and download the configuration XML, you can
access our demo site using SPARQL
– Current config xsds will be downloadble soon.
• June,2006. 1st Release (without ontology) Version 0.9
Ready to be released now.
Re-designing the interface: Possible inconsistency with future releases.
Almost no english document
• Sep. 2006 or Nov. 2006
2nd Release Version1.0 with Stable Spec (with ontology interface????)
Future Directions
• Distributed & Scalability
– Distributed Query Processing?
– Combine with P2P Query Processing?
(presented yesterday by A.Matono)
We think the single site performance is already the matter of the DB vendors.
Multi-site performance and optimization is our concern
• Applications
(related topic will be presented today by S.Mirza)
– Resource Discovery & Management
– Service Management for the Semantic SOA.
– Database Integration (Geosciences, Clinical-bioinformatics)
• Collaboration
– DAIS-RDF/Ont Spec Discussions / Ontogrid Project
(F2F will be tomorrow)
– Semantic Web Group within AIST
