# Getting Started With Corese-library This tutorial show how to use the Corese-library framework through simple examples of the main features. We assume a basic knowledge in Java programming and in semantic web. The first part describes how to create, load and export a Graph. The second part show how to query a graph with [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/). The third part details how to validate a graph with the [Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL)](https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/). The fourth part shows how to transforme a graph with the extension language [SPARQL Template Transformation Language (STTL)](https://files.inria.fr/corese/doc/sttl.html). The fifth part details how to apply a set of rules on a graph using the [SPARQL Rule](https://files.inria.fr/corese/doc/rule.html) extension language. Finally, the sixth part describes how to define and use functions with the [LDScript](https://files.inria.fr/corese/doc/ldscript.html) extension language. ## 1. Installation Installations instructions are available on the [Corese-Command GitHub repository](https://github.com/Wimmics/corese). ## 2. Graph This section describes how to create a graph manually, load a graph from file and serialize a graph to file. ### 2.1. Build a Graph by program > It is also possible to use the [RDF4J Model API](https://notes.inria.fr/s/OB038LBLV#11-build-a-corese-model-manually) to create and manipulate a graph. The example shows how to create the RDF graph bellow: ```mermaid graph LR; classDef IRI fill:#FEAE65,stroke-width:0px classDef DT fill:#FEFEFE,stroke-width:0px iri:EdithPiaf(["ex:EdithPiaf"]) iri:Singer(["ex:Singer"]) dt:Edith["''Edith''"] dt:Piaf["''Piaf''"] class iri:EdithPiaf,iri:Singer IRI class dt:Edith,dt:Piaf DT iri:EdithPiaf--rdf:type-->iri:Singer; iri:EdithPiaf--ex:firstName-->dt:Edith; iri:EdithPiaf--ex:lastName-->dt:Piaf; ``` This graph represents three statements : - Edith Piaf is a singer - Edith Piaf's first name is Edith - Edith Piaf's last name is Piaf ```java // Define the namespace ex String ex = "http://example.org/"; // Create a new empty Graph Graph graph = Graph.create(); // Create and add IRIs to Graph Node edithPiafIRI = graph.addResource(ex + "EdithPiaf"); Node singerIRI = graph.addResource(ex + "Singer"); // Create and add properties to Graph Node rdfTypeProperty = graph.addProperty(RDF.TYPE); Node firstNameProperty = graph.addProperty(ex + "firstName"); Node lastNameProperty = graph.addProperty(ex + "lastName"); // Create and add datatypes to Graph Node edithDatatype = graph.addLiteral("Edith"); Node piafDatatype = graph.addLiteral("Piaf"); // Add first statement : Edith Piaf is an Singer graph.addEdge(edithPiafIRI, rdfTypeProperty, singerIRI); // Add second statement : Edith Piaf's first name is Edith graph.addEdge(edithPiafIRI, firstNameProperty, edithDatatype); // Add third statement : Edith Piaf's last name is Piaf graph.addEdge(edithPiafIRI, lastNameProperty, piafDatatype); ``` ### 2.2. Load Graph from file This example shows how to load a graph from a file. Corese Loader can load formats : - RDF/XML (.rdf) - TURTLE (.ttl) - TRIG (.trig) - JSONLD (.jsonld) - NTRIPLES (.nt) - NQUADS (.nq) - JSON-LD (.jsonld) - RDFa (.html) ```java // Create a new empty Graph Graph graph = Graph.create(); // Create loader and parse file Load ld = Load.create(graph); ld.parse("input graph file path"); ``` ### 2.3. Export Graph to file This example shows how to serialize a graph in file, here in TURTLE format. ```java // We assume that the 'graph' variable has been define previously // Create exporter ResultFormat exporter = ResultFormat.create(graph, ResultFormat.TURTLE_FORMAT); String result = exporter.toString(); // Write result in file FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("output file path"); writer.write(result); writer.close(); ``` Corese Transformer can serialize graphs in different formats : - RDF/XML `ResultFormat.RDF_XML_FORMAT` - TURTLE `ResultFormat.TURTLE_FORMAT` - TRIG `ResultFormat.TRIG_FORMAT` - JSONLD `ResultFormat.JSONLD_FORMAT` - NTRIPLES `ResultFormat.NTRIPLES_FORMAT` - NQUADS `ResultFormat.NQUADS_FORMAT` ## 3. SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language This section describes how to query a graph with [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/) in Corese. ### 3.1. SPARQL Select query This example shows how to execute a SPARQL SELECT query, print and export results. ```java // We assume that the 'graph' variable has been define previously // Sparql query QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(graph); Mappings map = exec.query("select * where { ?s ?p ?o }"); ``` Example of how to get a variable value in the results: ```java // Iterate on each result for (Mapping m : map) { // Get the value of the variable ?o IDatatype dt = m.getValue("?o"); // Test and convert the value to java type if (dt.isURI()) { String uriLabel = dt.getLabel(); } else if (dt.isBlank()) { String BNLabel = dt.getLabel(); } else { if (dt.isBoolean()) { boolean boolResult = dt.booleanValue(); } else if (dt.isNumber()) { int intResult = dt.intValue(); double doubleResult = dt.doubleValue(); float floatResult = dt.floatValue(); BigDecimal bigDecimalResult = dt.decimalValue(); long longResult = dt.longValue(); } else { String stringResult = dt.stringValue(); String stringLangResult = dt.getLang(); } } } ``` Print list of variables in the result: ```java System.out.println(map.getSelect()); // Exemple: ["?s", "?p", "?o"] ``` Print results: ```java for (Mapping m: map){ System.out.println(m); } ``` Export result in XML: ```java ResultFormat result_xml = ResultFormat.create(map); result_xml.write("output file path"); ``` ### 3.2. SPARQL Ask query This example shows how to execute a SPARQL ASK query and print results. ```java // We assume that the 'graph' variable has been define previously // Sparql query QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(graph); Mappings map = exec.query("ask { ?person foaf:name ?name. }"); ``` Print results: ```java // if the mappings is empty then the result is false // if the mappings is not empty then the result is true system.out.println(!map.isEmpty()); ``` ### 3.3. SPARQL Construct query ```java // We assume that the 'graph' variable has been define previously // Sparql query QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(graph); Mappings map = exec.query(""" prefix foaf: prefix vcard: construct { ?person vcard:FN ?name } where { ?person foaf:name ?name. } """ ); ``` Print graph result of a construct-where query : ```java Graph g = (Graph) map.getGraph(); Graph result_graph = (Graph) map.getGraph(); System.out.println(result_graph.display()); ``` Export result in XML: ```java // Export result in XML ResultFormat result_xml = ResultFormat.create(map); result_xml.write("output file path"); ``` ### 3.4. SPARQL Update query ```java // We assume that the 'graph' variable has been define previously // Sparql query QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(graph); exec.query(""" prefix foaf: prefix vcard: insert { ?person vcard:FN ?name } where { ?person foaf:name ?name. } """ ); ``` ## 4. Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) This section show how to validate a graph with the [Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) in _Corese_](https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/). The example below shows us how to load a shapes graph (SHACL file), check the validity of the data graph and finally print results. ```java // Load data graph Graph dataGraph = Graph.create(); Load ld = Load.create(dataGraph); ld.parse("input graph file path"); // Load shape graph Graph shapeGraph = Graph.create(); ld = Load.create(shapeGraph); ld.parse("input shape file path.ttl"); // Evaluation Shacl shacl = new Shacl(dataGraph, shapeGraph); Graph result = shacl.eval(); // print results Transformer transformer = Transformer.create(result, Transformer.TURTLE); System.out.println(transformer.toString()); ``` **Input graph file path:** ```turtle @prefix ex: . @prefix rdf: . ex:Alice ex:ssn "987-65-4323" ; ex:worksFor ex:Haribo, ex:KitKat ; rdf:type ex:Person . ex:Bob ex:ssn "124-35-6789" ; ex:worksFor ex:Twitch ; rdf:type ex:Person . ex:Calvin ex:ssn "648-67-6545" ; ex:worksFor ex:UntypedCompany ; rdf:type ex:Person . ex:Haribo rdf:type ex:Company . ex:KitKat rdf:type ex:Company . ex:Twitch rdf:type ex:Company . ex:UntypedCompany rdf:type ex:Company . ``` **Input shape file path:** ```turtle @prefix sh: . @prefix xsd: . @prefix ex: . @prefix rdf: . ex:PersonShape a sh:NodeShape ; sh:targetClass ex:Person ; sh:property [ sh:path ex:ssn ; sh:maxCount 1 ; sh:datatype xsd:string ; sh:pattern "^\\d{3}-\\d{2}-\\d{4}$" ; ] ; sh:property [ sh:path ex:worksFor ; sh:class ex:Company ; sh:nodeKind sh:IRI ; ] ; sh:closed true ; sh:ignoredProperties ( rdf:type ) . ``` **Result:** ```turtle @prefix xsh: . @prefix sh: . [a sh:ValidationReport ; sh:conforms true] . ``` ## 5. SPARQL Template Transformation Language (STTL) This sections shows how to transforme a graph with a subset of the extension language [SPARQL Template Transformation Language (STTL)](https://files.inria.fr/corese/doc/sttl.html). ### 5.1. Transform a graph in a visual HTML format This example detail how load a data graph from a file, transforme it in a visual HTML format and export the result in a file. ```java // Open template file Path path = Path.of("input template file path"); String sttl_query = Files.readString(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8); // Load data graph Graph dataGraph = Graph.create(); Load ld = Load.create(dataGraph); ld.parse("input graph file path"); // Apply STTL query QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(dataGraph); Mappings map = exec.query(sttl_query); // Export result ResultFormat result_xml = ResultFormat.create(map); result_xml.write("output file path"); ``` **Input template file:** ```rq template { format { "\n\n\n\t\n%s\t
\n\n\n" group { format { "\t\t\n\t\t\t%s\n\t\t\t%s\n\t\t\t%s\n\t\t\n" ?s ?p ?o } } } } where { ?s ?p ?o } order by ?s ?p ?o ``` **Result :** ```html

http://example.org/EdithPiaf http://example.org/lastName Piaf
http://example.org/EdithPiaf http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type http://example.org/Singer
``` | ?s | ?p | ?o | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | | | | Edith | | | | Piaf | | | | | ## 6. SPARQL Rule This section details how to apply a set of rules on a graph using the [SPARQL Rule extension language](https://files.inria.fr/corese/doc/rule.html). ### 6.1. Load rules from a file The example below shows the application of two rules (symmetry and transitivity) on a simple graph. ```java // Create and load data in a graph Graph dataGraph = Graph.create(); Load dataLoader = Load.create(dataGraph); dataLoader.parse("input graph file path"); // Create and load rules into a rules engine RuleEngine ruleEngine = RuleEngine.create(dataGraph); RuleLoad ruleLoader = RuleLoad.create(ruleEngine); ruleLoader.parse("input rules file path.rul"); // Apply rules on graph ruleEngine.process(); ``` **Original graph:** ```mermaid graph LR; classDef IRI fill:#FEAE65,stroke-width:0px iri:alice(["ex:Alice"]) iri:bob(["ex:Bob"]) iri:camille(["ex:Camille"]) iri:daniel(["ex:Daniel"]) iri:elise(["ex:Elise"]) class iri:alice,iri:bob,iri:camille,iri:daniel,iri:elise IRI iri:alice--ex:friend-->iri:bob; iri:bob--ex:friend-->iri:camille; iri:daniel--ex:isMarriedTo-->iri:elise; ``` **Rules file:** - Symmetry : `if exist X➝Y then Y➝X` - Transitivity : `if X➝Y➝Z then X➝Z` ```xml construct { ?x ?p ?z } where { ?p a owl:TransitiveProperty . ?x ?p ?y . ?y ?p ?z } ]]> construct { ?y ?p ?x } where { ?p a owl:SymmetricProperty . ?x ?p ?y . } ]]> ``` **Result graph:** ```mermaid graph LR; classDef IRI fill:#FEAE65,stroke-width:0px iri:alice(["ex:Alice"]) iri:bob(["ex:Bob"]) iri:camille(["ex:Camille"]) iri:daniel(["ex:Daniel"]) iri:elise(["ex:Elise"]) class iri:alice,iri:bob,iri:camille,iri:daniel,iri:elise IRI iri:alice--ex:friend-->iri:bob; iri:bob--ex:friend-->iri:camille; iri:alice-.ex:friend.->iri:camille; iri:daniel--ex:isMarriedTo.->iri:elise; iri:elise-.ex:isMarriedTo.->iri:daniel; linkStyle 4,2 stroke:#a3ddcb,stroke-width:3px; ``` ### 6.2. OWL Rules The example below shows the application of OWL RL rules. ```java // We assume that the 'graph' variable has been define previously // Apply rules RuleEngine engine = RuleEngine.create(graph); engine.setProfile(RuleEngine.OWL_RL); engine.process(); ``` ## 7. LDScript This section describes how to define and use functions with the [LDScript extension language](https://files.inria.fr/corese/doc/ldscript.html). ### 7.1. Fibonacci function call from Java This example shows how to define and compute the twelfth number of the Fibonnacci sequence. ```java // Open LDScript file Path path = Path.of("input LDScript file path.rq"); String ldScript = Files.readString(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8); // Compile LDScript QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(); exec.compile(ldScript); // Compute the twelfth number of the Fibonnacci sequence String name = "http://ns.inria.fr/fibonacci"; IDatatype dt = exec.funcall(name, DatatypeMap.newInstance(25)); // Print result System.out.println(dt); ``` **Input LDScript file path:** ```rq prefix fun: @public function fun:fibonacci(n) { if (n < 0) { error() } else if (n = 0) { return(0) } else if (n = 1) { return(1) } else { return (fun:fibonacci(n - 1) + fun:fibonacci(n - 2)) } } ``` ### 7.2. LDScript in SPARQL This example shows how to call an LDScript function from a SPARQL query. ```java String check_query = """ prefix ex: prefix rdf: prefix fun: select ?name ?area where { ?city rdf:type ex:city ; ex:name ?name ; ex:area ?area . filter(?area > fun:toSquareKm(40)) } # Convert square mile to square Kilometer function fun:toSquareKm(squareMile) { return (squareMile * 2.59) } """; // Load graph Graph graph = Graph.create(); Load ld = Load.create(graph); ld.parse("input file path"); // Sparql query QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(graph); Mappings map = exec.query(check_query); ``` ### 7.3. Advanced example The java program below computes the percentage of people subscribed to social networks of city compared to its number of inhabitants. Data is collected from Wikidata. ```java // Open LDScript file Path path = Path.of("input LDScript file path.rq"); String ldScript = Files.readString(path, StandardCharsets.UTF_8); // Compile LDScript QueryProcess exec = QueryProcess.create(); exec.compile(ldScript); // Execute program String name = "http://ns.inria.fr/main"; IDatatype dt = exec.funcall(name); // Print result System.out.println(dt); ``` **Input LDScript file path:** ```rq prefix fun: prefix wd: prefix wdt: prefix wikibase: prefix bd: prefix rdfs: @public function fun:percentage(sub, total) { return (sub / total * 100) } @public function fun:citypopulationsocialmedia() { query( select ?city ?citylabel ?population ?socialmediafolower where { service { ?city wdt:P31 wd:Q1549591; wdt:P8687 ?socialmediafolower; wdt:P1082 ?population. optional { ?city rdfs:label ?citylabel filter (lang(?citylabel) = "en"). } } } order by desc (?socialmediafolower) limit 100 ) } @public function fun:main() { xt:sort( maplist ( function(x) { let ((citylabel population socialmediafolower) = x) { return (xt:list(citylabel, fun:percentage(socialmediafolower, population))) } }, fun:citypopulationsocialmedia() ), function(x,y) { let ((x_name, x_value) = x, (y_name, y_value) = y) { if (x_value < y_value, 1, if(x=y, o, -1)) } } ) } ```
