使用 SPARQL 和 Jena 检索 OWL 类层次结构中的所有路径

Question

我有一个层次结构深三层的 RDF 图。我想在不使用推理器的情况下检索从类层次结构的根（即owl:Thing）到第三级中的类的所有路径。例如，我想要路径 C₁ → C₂ → C₃ 是一条路径，其中每个 C_我 是层次结构的第 i^th 级别的类。

我需要使用广度优先搜索算法检索 RDF 图中的所有路径，而不考虑图中的对象属性。

Answer 1

给定一些这样的数据（其中类名的长度表示层次结构中类的深度）：

@prefix : <http://example.org/> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .

:a a rdfs:Class .

:aa rdfs:subClassOf :a .
:ab rdfs:subClassOf :a .
:ac rdfs:subClassOf :a .

:aaa rdfs:subClassOf :aa .
:aab rdfs:subClassOf :aa .
:aac rdfs:subClassOf :aa .

:aaba rdfs:subClassOf :aab .
:aabb rdfs:subClassOf :aab .

:aba rdfs:subClassOf :ab .
:abb rdfs:subClassOf :ab .

您可以使用 SPARQL 查询来选择您要查找的路径。

使用 SPARQL 查询

您可以编写这样的 SPARQL 查询以获得以下结果：

prefix : <http://example.org/>
prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>

select ?c1 ?c2 ?c3 where { 
  values ?c1 { :a }
  ?c1 ^rdfs:subClassOf ?c2 .
  OPTIONAL {
    ?c2 ^rdfs:subClassOf ?c3 .
  }
}
order by ?c3 ?c2 ?c1

-------------------
| c1 | c2  | c3   |
===================
| :a | :ac |      |
| :a | :aa | :aaa |
| :a | :aa | :aab |
| :a | :aa | :aac |
| :a | :ab | :aba |
| :a | :ab | :abb |
-------------------

使用相机本体

这种方法适用于 cmets 中提到的 camera ontology，尽管查询需要一些扩展来处理更深层次的类路径。因此：

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#>
PREFIX : <http://www.xfront.com/owl/ontologies/camera/#>

select * where { 
  values ?c1 { owl:Thing } 
  ?c1 ^rdfs:subClassOf ?c2 .
  OPTIONAL { 
    ?c2 ^rdfs:subClassOf ?c3 .
    OPTIONAL { 
      ?c3 ^rdfs:subClassOf ?c4 .
    }
  }
}
order by ?c4 ?c3 ?c2

-----------------------------------------------------------
| c1        | c2                | c3      | c4            |
===========================================================
| owl:Thing | :Money            |         |               |
| owl:Thing | :Range            |         |               |
| owl:Thing | :Window           |         |               |
| owl:Thing | :PurchaseableItem | :Body   |               |
| owl:Thing | :PurchaseableItem | :Lens   |               |
| owl:Thing | :PurchaseableItem | :Camera | :Digital      |
| owl:Thing | :PurchaseableItem | :Camera | :Large-Format |

使用耶拿 API

虽然上述 SPARQL 查询按照广度优先遍历所期望的顺序生成路径，但实际上并不能保证 ARQ 生成结果的方式。我们也可以直接实现广度优先搜索，使用 Jena 模型 API 来检索子类。这是一个简单的实现：

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Queue;

import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.Model;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.ModelFactory;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.Resource;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.StmtIterator;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.vocabulary.OWL;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.vocabulary.RDFS;

public class BFSInRDFWithJena {

    public static List<List<Resource>> BFS( final Model model, final Queue<List<Resource>> queue, final int depth ) {
        final List<List<Resource>> results = new ArrayList<>();
        while ( !queue.isEmpty() ) {
            final List<Resource> path = queue.poll();
            results.add( path );
            if ( path.size() < depth ) {
                final Resource last = path.get( path.size() - 1 );
                final StmtIterator stmt = model.listStatements( null, RDFS.subClassOf, last );
                while ( stmt.hasNext() ) {
                    final List<Resource> extPath = new ArrayList<>( path );
                    extPath.add( stmt.next().getSubject().asResource() );
                    queue.offer( extPath );
                }
            }
        }
        return results;
    }

    public static void main( final String[] args ) throws IOException {
        final Model model = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel();
        try ( final InputStream in = BFSInRDFWithJena.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( "camera.owl" ) ) {
            model.read( in, null );
        }

        // setup the initial queue
        final Queue<List<Resource>> queue = new LinkedList<>();
        final List<Resource> thingPath = new ArrayList<>();
        thingPath.add( OWL.Thing );
        queue.offer( thingPath );

        // Get the paths, and display them
        final List<List<Resource>> paths = BFS( model, queue, 4 );
        for ( List<Resource> path : paths ) {
            System.out.println( path );
        }
    }
}
