Fig. 1

Overview of the intended usage for the different parts of the RDFIO suite. The figure shows how RDF data can be retrieved from a set of different sources, as well as being exported again. The parts belonging to the RDFIO SMW extension and the rdf2smw tool are marked with dashed lines. The newly developed functionality in this paper is drawn in black while already existing functionality in MW and SMW is drawn in grey color. Red arrows indicate data going into (being imported into) the wiki, while blue arrows indicate data going out of (being exported from) the wiki. From top left, the figure shows: i) how RDF data files can be batch imported into SMW either by using the rdf2smw tool to convert them to MediaWiki XML for further import using MediaWiki’s built-in XML import function, or via the importRdf.php commandline script in the RDFIO SMW extension, ii) how plain triples (OWL individuals) can be imported from text files, or from web pages via copy and paste into a web form, iii) how a remote triple store exposed via a SPARQL endpoint can be replicated by entering the SPARQL endpoint URL in a web form, iv) how new RDF data can be created manually or dynamically in the SPARQL endpoint via SPARQL INSERT INTO statements supported by the SPARQL+ extension [44] in the ARC2 library, and finally, v) how data can also be exported via the SPARQL endpoint, using CONSTRUCT queries, or vi) by using the dedicated exportRdf.php commandline script
