SolRDF (i.e. Solr + RDF) is a set of Solr extensions for managing (index and search) RDF data. Join us at [email protected]

Continuous Integration status

Get me up and running

This section provides instructions for running SolRDF. We divided the section in two different parts because the different architecture introduced with Solr 5. Prior to that (i.e. Solr 4.x) Solr was distributed as a JEE web application and therefore, being SolRDF a Maven project, you could use Maven for starting up a live instance without downloading Solr (Maven would do that for you, behind the scenes).

Solr 5.x is now delivered as a standalone jar and therefore the SolRDF installation is different; it requires some manual steps in order to deploy configuration files and libraries within an external Solr (which needs to be downloaded separately).

SolRDF 1.1 (Solr 5.x)

First, you need Java 8, Apache Maven and Apache Solr installed on your machine. Open a new shell and type the following:

# cd /tmp
# git clone https://github.com/agazzarini/SolRDF.git solrdf-download

Build and run SolrRDF

# cd solrdf-download/solrdf
# mvn clean install

At the end of the build, after seeing

[INFO] --------------------------------------------------------

you can find the solr-home directory, with everything required for running SolRDF, under the

/tmp/solr/solrdf-download/solrdf/solrdf-integration-tests/target/solrdf-integration-tests-1.1-dev/solrdf

We refer to this directory as $SOLR_HOME. At this point, open a shell under the bin folder of your Solr and type:

> ./solr -p 8080 -s $SOLR_HOME -a "-Dsolr.data.dir=/work/data/solrdf"

Waiting to see Solr listening on port 8080 [/]  
Started Solr server on port 8080 (pid=10934). Happy searching!

SolRDF 1.0 (Solr 4.x)

If you're using Solr 4.x, you can point to the solrdf-1.0 branch and use the automatic procedure described below for downloading, installing and run it. There's no need to download Solr, as Maven will do that for you.

Checkout the project

Open a new shell and type the following:

# cd /tmp
# git clone https://github.com/agazzarini/SolRDF.git solrdf-download

Build and run SolrRDF

# cd solrdf-download/solrdf
# mvn clean install
# cd solrdf-integration-tests
# mvn clean package cargo:run

The very first time you run this command a lot of things will be downloaded, Solr included. At the end you should see something like this:

[INFO] Jetty 7.6.15.v20140411 Embedded started on port [8080]
[INFO] Press Ctrl-C to stop the container...

SolRDF is up and running!

Add data

Now let's add some data. You can do that in one of the following ways:

Browser

Open your favourite browser and type the follwing URL (line has been split for readability):

http://localhost:8080/solr/store/update/bulk?commit=true
&update.contentType=application/n-triples
&stream.file=/tmp/solrdf-download/solrdf/solrdf-integration-tests/src/test/resources/sample-data/bsbm-generated-dataset.nt

This is an example with the bundled sample data. If you have a file somehere (i.e. remotely) you can use the stream.url parameter to indicate the file URL. For example:

http://localhost:8080/solr/store/update/bulk?commit=true
&update.contentType=application/rdf%2Bxml
&stream.url=http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/rdfdata/countries.rdf

Command line

Open a shell and type the following

# curl -v http://localhost:8080/solr/store/update/bulk?commit=true \ 
  -H "Content-Type: application/n-triples" \
  --data-binary @/tmp/solrdf-download/solrdf/solrdf-integration-tests/src/test/resources/sample_data/bsbm-generated-dataset.nt

Ok, you just added (about) 5000 triples.

SPARQL 1.1. endpoint

SolRDF is a fully compliant SPARQL 1.1. endpoint. In order to issue a query just run a query like this:

# curl "http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr/store/sparql" \
  --data-urlencode "q=SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10" \
  -H "Accept: application/sparql-results+json"
  
Or  
  
# curl "http://127.0.0.1:8080/solr/store/sparql" \
  --data-urlencode "**q=SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10**" \
  -H "Accept: application/sparql-results+xml"
