使用SPARQL和SPIN对数据进行RDF处理

Question

I want to RDFising data, I need construct with a SPARQL query (I'm using SPIN) an object (Book) with two properties (Title and Author). All books have "Title" but sometime haven't "Author".

When this happens, it doesn't create this "Book", and I want create it with "Title".

I'm using GraphDB and this is the query:

prefix spif: <http://spinrdf.org/spif#>
prefix pres: <http://example.com/pruebardf/>

CONSTRUCT {
    ?rdfIRI a           pres:Book ;
            pres:Author ?author   .
}
WHERE {
     SERVICE <http://localhost:7200/rdf-bridge/1683716393221> {
         ?bookRow a                <urn:Row> ;
                  <urn:col:Author> ?author   ;
                  <urn:col:Title>  ?title    .
     }
     BIND(IRI(CONCAT("http://example.com/", spif:encodeURL(?title))) AS ?rdfIRI)
}

Is there a solution? I can use other SPARQL syntax.

Answer 1

Use OPTIONAL in the SERVICE part to make the pattern not fail when <urn:col:Author> is missing.

The CONSTRUCT will then simply not put in the ?rdfIRI pres:Author ?author triple but will include ?rdfIRI a pres:Book .

If you want to set ?author when it is missing in the data, look at using COALESCE .
