RDF Database

I am working right now on populating a RDF Database with annotations from documents. I use Sesame RDF Database:  http://www.openrdf.org/. It has a nice architectural structure, user-friendly interface and easy installation. I will have the program which generates the RDF database done soon so install openrdf on your computers, read  http://www.openrdf.org/doc/sesame2/users/ and  http://www.openrdf.org/doc/sesame2/users/ch09.html.

  • Costea's How-To on RDF Database
    • Install  TomCat - make sure it's running on JavaSun?, not GNUJava
    • Download  OpenRDF Sesame
    • Start Tomcat
    • Go to Tomcat Manager on localhost:8080
    • In the OpenRDF archive, there are 2 .war files in the war directory - select and upload them into Tomcat
      • OpenRDFSesame is the server
      • OpenRDFWorkbench is the UI
    • Open Sesame Workbench
      • In case of error: copy the /lib from the OpenRDF distribution to "webapps/openrdf-workbench/WEB-INF/lib" in your Tomcat base dir.
    • New Repository - Native Java Store
      • The id needs to be the same as in the Java source RDFSimpleParser.java ("KWARCNLP")
    • Go to JAVA sources
    • Open then in Eclipse as a Project
    • Import all the jars again
    • Magic incantation
    • Run the project
    • Check the DB for the results stored
