Abstract

The semantic web data and the SPARQL query language allow users to write precise queries. However, the lack of spatial information limits the use of the semantic web data on position-oriented query. In this paper, we introduce spatial SPARQL, a variant of SPARQL language, for querying spatial information integrated RDF data. Besides, we design a novel index SS-tree for evaluating the spatial queries. Based on the index, we propose a search algorithm. The experimental results show the effectiveness and the efficiency of our approach.
