HDT-Jena

This is a wrapper to build a Read-Only Jena Model on top of an HDT file. This allows for example using Jena's ARQ Query Engine to issue SPARQL queries against an RDF file. HDT-Jena depends on the HDT-Java and Jena Libraries.

######### Commandline scenario example #############

# First make sure you compiled hdt-java
$ cd ../hdt-java
hdt-java $ mvn install

# Generate an HDT file using the hdt-java library 
hdt-java $ ./rdf2hdt.sh data/test.nt data/test.hdt

# Now get to the hdt-jena dir and compile it
hdt-java $ cd ../hdt-jena
hdt-java $ mvn install 

# Execute SPARQL Query against the file.
$ ./hdtsparql.sh ../hdt-java/data/test.hdt "SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE { ?s ?p ?o . }"

########## Create Jena Model from Java #########
# Note it needs hdt-lib.jar, hdt-jena.jar and Jena jars.
# A full example on how to do this can be found at hdt-jena/examples/org/rdfhdt/hdtjena/HDTSparql.java

// Load HDT file using the hdt-java library
HDT hdt = HDTManager.loadIndexedHDT("path/to/file.hdt", null);

// Create Jena Model on top of HDT.
Model model = ModelFactory.createModelForGraph(graph);

// Use Jena Model as Read-Only data storage, e.g. Using Jena ARQ for SPARQL.

########## Create SPARQL Endpoing on top of one or more HDT files using Fuseki #########
# You need to create a fuseki config file specifying which HDT files you want to publish. You need to specify one for the default graph and zero or more named graphs with additional HDT files. You also need to ask fuseki to load the HDT Assembler class:

[]   ja:loadClass "org.rdfhdt.hdtjena.HDTGraphAssembler" .

# An example config file is available at fuseki_example.ttl

# Download Fuseki, and edit the launch script to append hdt-java.jar and hdt-jena.jar to the classpath. Please note that if you use the "java -jar" option it ignores the classpath, so you'll end up with a line like this in your fuseki-server launch script:
exec java  $JVM_ARGS -classpath "hdt-lib.jar:hdt-jena.jar:$JAR" org.apache.jena.fuseki.FusekiCmd "$@"

# Launch fuseki using:
$ ./fuseki-server --config=fuseki_example.ttl
