We designed our Virtuoso Platform to solve critical Data Access, Integration, and Management problems that have challenged developers and end-users alike for eons.

Data Silos are still impeding Data Flow [think: Suez Canal Issue on steroids] in both Enterprise and Web-based solutions.

The slide-deck above provides a quick overview of stubborn challenges uniquely handled by Virtuoso.

Related Tips & How-To Guides

• Using HTML documents (Web Pages) as Data Sources for Declarative Query Languages is a game-changer. Why? It extends functionality previously reserved for RDBMS Tables to a much broader realm of Data constructed from Hyperlinks, i.e., a “Web of Data”

• Why choose Virtuoso for Knowledge Graph Development & Exploitation?

• Powerful tools for Digital Transformation, demonstrating how the magic of Hyperlinks extends beyond the World Wide Web.

• Live example blending SPARQL and GraphSQL. Ultimately, SQL, SPARQL, and GraphQL will all co-exist, leaving developers and end-users to focus on the more important issue of DBMS-independent Data Connectivity across Data Silos.

• Here’s a post about how OpenLink Virtuoso uses protocols such as WebDAV and LDP to provide Data Virtualization atop Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Rackspace, etc.

• Integrating RDF with Labeled Property Graph variants (such as Virtuoso and Neo4j) using existing Open Standards including SQL, SPARQL, ODBC, and JDBC

• HTTP support in our Virtuoso includes an ability to generate logs that include the WebID and/or NetID of visitors, for richer Activity Streams Analytics.

• The “Northwind” Database is a great tool to objectively demonstrate the implications of SQL and SPARQL for Knowledge Graph access and manipulation.

• Latest OpenLink Structured Data Sniffer (OSDS) reveals use of structured data at Springer Nature

• OpenLink Structured Data Sniffer (OSDS) reveals (via Metadata discovery) that Allrecipes makes cool use of RDF embedded in HTML5 when publishing a wide variety of Recipes.

• Quora Q&A: “If you use a URI for a subject in RDF, how do you resolve it to its label?”

• How-To: Produce ODBC call traces under Windows

• How-To: Produce ODBC call traces under macOS

• How-To: Produce iODBC (cross platform ODBC) call traces under Linux and other Unix-like OS

• How-To: Use OpenLink Structured Data Sniffer (OSDS) – shows the power of Structured Data, increasingly embedded in HTML, functioning as Knowledge Graph entry-points, courtesy of Linked Data principles.

• Here are simple, live examples covering SPARQL and/or SQL using Query Service endpoints provided by BabelNet and URIBurner Services – both of which are Virtuoso-based.
