Obi-Wan

Obi-Wan is a query answering system for RDF integration following the Ontology-Based Data Access paradigm, where heterogeneous data sources are integrated using Global-Local-As-View mappings into an RDF graph with an RDFS ontology. It supports Basic Graph Pattern Queries on both the data triples generated by the mappings and the triples of ontology. It implements both mediation and materialization-based query answering approaches. For both approaches, it proposes several strategies for query answering, which move the ontological reasoning from query time to a preprocessing step.

Demonstration

The complete online demonstration presents some RDF integration systems among which four are based on BSBM and have been used for previous experiments.

You can also try Obi-Wan, following this tutorial.

We demonstrate Obi-Wan at VLDB 2020 on a scenario based on Star-Wars. You can see the corresponding RDF integration system online and follows the interactive slides of the presentation:

Experiments

In our paper published at EDBT 2020, we experimentally evaluate the performances of Obi-Wan query answering strategies on four RDF integration systems based on BSBM. We showed that one novel mediation-based query answering strategies (called REW-C), using saturation of mappings in preprocessing, have better performance than other strategies. A detailed description of these experiments is available online and can be visualized.
