SPARQL Client for RDF.rb

This is a Ruby implementation of a SPARQL client for RDF.rb.

http://github.com/bendiken/sparql-client

Features

Executes queries against any SPARQL 1.0-compatible endpoints over HTTP.
Provides a query builder DSL for ASK, SELECT, DESCRIBE and CONSTRUCT queries.
Supports tuple result sets in both XML and JSON formats, with JSON being the preferred default for content negotiation purposes.
Supports graph results in any RDF serialization format understood by RDF.rb.
Returns results using the RDF.rb object model.
Supports accessing endpoints as read-only RDF::Repository instances.

Examples

require 'sparql/client'

sparql = SPARQL::Client.new("http://dbpedia.org/sparql")

Executing a boolean query and outputting the result

# ASK WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
result = sparql.ask.whether([:s, :p, :o]).true?

puts result.inspect   #=> true or false

Executing a tuple query and iterating over the returned solutions

# SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } OFFSET 100 LIMIT 10
query = sparql.select.where([:s, :p, :o]).offset(100).limit(10)

query.each_solution do |solution|
  puts solution.inspect
end

Executing a graph query and iterating over the returned statements

# CONSTRUCT { ?s ?p ?o } WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10
query = sparql.construct([:s, :p, :o]).where([:s, :p, :o]).limit(10)

query.each_statement do |statement|
  puts statement.inspect
end

Executing an arbitrary textual SPARQL query string

result = sparql.query("ASK WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }")

puts result.inspect   #=> true or false
