Abstract

We describe and demonstrate a prototype of a UML-style visual query environment over DBPedia that allows query seeding with any class or property present in the data endpoint and provides for context-sensitive query growing based on class-to-property and property-to-property mappings. To handle mappings that connect more than 480 thousand classes and more than 50 thousand properties, a hybrid approach of mapping pre-computation and storage is proposed, where the property information for “large” classes is stored in a database, while for “small” classes and for individuals the matching property information is retrieved from the data endpoint on-the-fly. The created schema information is used to back the query seeding and growing in the ViziQuer tool. The schema server and the schema database contents can be re-used also in other applications that require DBPedia class and property linking information.
