ABSTRACT
In recent years, knowledge graphs have become widely adopted for storing and managing vast amounts of data, powering various applications. However, SPARQL as the query language for accessing those knowledge graphs has a steep learning curve and is too complex for many use cases. This paper presents GraphSPARQL, a middleware that allows accessing arbitrary SPARQL endpoints by using GraphQL, supporting the GraphQL operations query and mutation. GraphSPARQL abstracts the complexity of SPARQL without losing the ability to address classes and properties of distinct ontologies. Additionally, GraphSPARQL's extension to GraphQL allows using SPARQL filter operations to filter the data in queries. The evaluation showed that GraphSPARQL can compete with existing GraphQL to SPARQL solutions and outperforms them for deeply nested queries.

Using the relation ontology Metarel for modelling Linked Data as multi-digraphs
Linked Data for Health Care and the Life SciencesThe Semantic Web standards OWL and RDF are often used to represent biomedical information as Linked Data; however, the OWL/RDF syntax, which combines both, was never optimised for querying. By combining two formal paradigms for modelling Linked Data, ...
