RDFbus: Linked Data Transactions over AMQP

RDFbus is middleware for constructing RDF changesets/transactions and transmitting RDF publish/subscribe payloads over transports such as AMQP, XMPP or Stomp.

Examples

require 'rdfbus'

Creating a transaction for updating an RDF statement

resource = RDF::URI.new("http://rdfbus.rubyforge.org/")

tx = RDFbus::Transaction.new do
  delete [resource, RDF::DC.title, "RDFbus 0.0.0"]
  insert [resource, RDF::DC.title, "RDFbus 0.0.1"]
end

Obtaining the JSON representation of a transaction

# Requires http://rdf.rubyforge.org/json/

tx.to_json   #=> {
             #     graph:  null,
             #     delete: {
             #       'http://rdfbus.rubyforge.org/': {
             #         'http://purl.org/dc/terms/title': [
             #           {'type': 'literal', 'value': 'RDFbus 0.0.0'}
             #         ]
             #       }
             #     },
             #     insert: {
             #       'http://rdfbus.rubyforge.org/': {
             #         'http://purl.org/dc/terms/title': [
             #           {'type': 'literal', 'value': 'RDFbus 0.0.1'}
             #         ]
             #       }
             #     }
             #   }

Executing a transaction against an RDF repository (1)

# Requires http://rdf.rubyforge.org/sesame/

require 'rdf/sesame'

endpoint   = "http://localhost:8080/openrdf-sesame"
server     = RDF::Sesame::Server.new(endpoint)
repository = server.repository("test")

tx = RDFbus::Transaction.new { ... }
tx.execute(repository)

Executing a transaction against an RDF repository (2)

RDFbus::Transaction.execute(repository) do |tx|
  ...
end
