Description

-ontop- is a platform to query databases as Virtual RDF Graphs using SPARQL. It's extremely fast and is packed with features.

Packed with useful features and components that will help you deploy it in almost any use case. Highlights include:

SPARQL 1.1 Support
Intuitive/powerful mapping language
Support for free and commercial DBMS
Compatible with DBMS federation tools
Providers for Sesame and OWLAPI
Integrated with Protege 5.x
SPARQL end-point

The SPARQL engine supports the following entailment regimes out of the box: OWL 2 QL, RDFS, and experimentally SWRL. With inference you will be able to apply virtual RDF and RDB2RDF /OBDA technology in use cases reserved for traditional OWL reasoners (slow with lots of data) or RDF triples stores based on forward or backward chaining (inefficient reasoning). Interesting use cases for inference in RDB2RDF/OBDA include:

On-the-fly Ontology-based Data Access
SPARQL over RDFS/OWL mappings
Data Integration with DB federation

Extremely high performance, even in the presence of very large data sets, complex queries and large ontologies. ontop implements the latest generation query rewriting techniques that translate your SPARQL into SQL in the best possible way. The SQL queries are so efficient that they often allow provide 10x times better performance than other SPARQL engines (open source or even commercial), and in complicated queries/data sets, up to 500x times.
