Maintenance Release of Virtuoso 8.3.3319

This Maintenance Release comprises a new feature (SHACL support), OpenID Connect and OAuth protocol enhancements, bug fixes, and a few interface tweaks to aid better understanding of existing functionality. See the maintenance release notes for additional information.

We continue to encourage low risk exploration and exploitation of Virtuoso’s unique features via a number of special offers.

Here’s a Live SHACL demo using data from http://datashapes.org

Summary of the week ending Friday, 2020-09-25

• You can use iODBC or UnixODBC from NodeJS for powerful DBMS independent DataAccess using ODBC. Using our VirtuosoODBCDriver this extends to querying any SPARQL-accessible Knowledge Graph.

• Detailed to using @Docker and a NodeJS-based interactive SQL query interface for ODBC connections delivering SQL or SPARQL queries for operating on Data represented as Tables or Graphs.

• Looking at the @WaltDisneyCo via our Wikidata instance which also includes DBpedia cross references etc, using a Faceted Browsing interface that includes paging.

• Nice presentation (in PDF format) from the EU publications office about Open Data and the added value virtues of Linked Data.

• What is Small Data, and why is it important?

• Here’s a nice video that helps you understand the importance of applying the magic behind the Web to both enterprise and social media data integration challenges.

• I completely overlooked the fact that this is a cool Data Visualization applied to Metadata collated by the Library of Congress. Basically, it’s Linked Data in action all the way via an Audio Knowledge Graph.

• Great comparative analysis. We shouldn’t be confused about different DBMS products. It is all about different approaches to managing relations.

• Effect of a single mouse-click that turns a @YouTube document into a Knowledge Graph exploration launch-point while also offering rich hypermedia interaction.

• Alternative view enabled by packing Linked Data magic into a Hyperlink created automagically by our VirtuosoRDBMS. Remember, this is all ODBC or JDBC accessible too, empowering existing apps and services.

• How many clicks does it take to start a progressive Knowledge Graph generation, exploration, and exploitation endeavor?

• You take control over your Identity (and by effect Privacy) by getting yourself a WebID derived from a Profile Knowledge Graph. Increasingly, this can start from Profile pages created using @carrd, @glitch, @github etc…
