Proposal of SPARQL Query Sharing System for Linked Open Data

Abstract

We propose a SPARQL query sharing system for Linked Open Data. Recently, many and various datasets are published as a Linked Open Data (LOD). SPARQL is an RDF query language and it provides a powerful way to access LOD. However, it is not easy to utilize them because it requires not only techniques of SPARQL but also knowledge of datasets and vocabularies that they used for users. Therefore, we propose sharing SPARQL query as a solution of this problem. Sharing SPARQL query is a simple solution but it has an important role for LOD. In this paper, we describe a difficulty of utilizing LOD and introduce our prototype system for sharing SPARQL query.
