## Basic Queries
### Example 1: Simple SELECT
Find all people and their names:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?person ?name
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
}
```
### Example 2: Multiple Patterns
Find people with both name and email:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?person ?name ?email
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:email ?email .
}
```
### Example 3: ASK Query
Check if a specific person exists:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
ASK {
?person foaf:name "Alice" .
}
```
### Example 4: CONSTRUCT Query
Build a new graph with simplified structure:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
CONSTRUCT {
?person ex:hasName ?name .
?person ex:contactEmail ?email .
}
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:email ?email .
}
```
### Example 5: DESCRIBE Query
Get all information about a resource:
```sparql
DESCRIBE <http://example.org/person/alice>
```
---
## Filtering and Constraints
### Example 6: Numeric Comparison
Find people aged 18 or older:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?age
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:age ?age .
FILTER(?age >= 18)
}
```
### Example 7: String Matching
Find people with email addresses at example.com:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?email
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:email ?email .
FILTER(CONTAINS(?email, "@example.com"))
}
```
### Example 8: Regex Pattern Matching
Find people whose names start with 'A':
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
FILTER(REGEX(?name, "^A", "i"))
}
```
### Example 9: Multiple Conditions
Find adults between 18 and 65:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?age
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:age ?age .
FILTER(?age >= 18 && ?age < 65)
}
```
### Example 10: Logical OR
Find people with either phone or email:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?contact
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
{
?person foaf:phone ?contact .
}
UNION
{
?person foaf:email ?contact .
}
}
```
---
## Optional Patterns
### Example 11: Simple OPTIONAL
Find all people, including email if available:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?email
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:email ?email }
}
```
### Example 12: Multiple OPTIONAL
Find people with optional contact information:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?email ?phone ?homepage
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:email ?email }
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:phone ?phone }
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:homepage ?homepage }
}
```
### Example 13: OPTIONAL with FILTER
Find people with optional business emails:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?businessEmail
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL {
?person foaf:email ?businessEmail .
FILTER(!CONTAINS(?businessEmail, "@gmail.com"))
}
}
```
### Example 14: Nested OPTIONAL
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?friendName ?friendEmail
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL {
?person foaf:knows ?friend .
?friend foaf:name ?friendName .
OPTIONAL { ?friend foaf:email ?friendEmail }
}
}
```
---
## Property Paths
### Example 15: Transitive Closure
Find all people someone knows (directly or indirectly):
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?friendName
WHERE {
<http://example.org/alice> foaf:name ?name .
<http://example.org/alice> foaf:knows+ ?friend .
?friend foaf:name ?friendName .
}
```
### Example 16: Path Sequence
Find grandchildren:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?person ?grandchild
WHERE {
?person ex:hasChild / ex:hasChild ?grandchild .
}
```
### Example 17: Alternative Paths
Find either name or label:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
SELECT ?person ?label
WHERE {
?person (foaf:name | rdfs:label) ?label .
}
```
### Example 18: Inverse Path
Find all children of a person:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?child
WHERE {
<http://example.org/alice> ^ex:hasChild ?child .
}
```
### Example 19: Zero or More
Find all connected people (including self):
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?connected
WHERE {
<http://example.org/alice> foaf:knows* ?connected .
}
```
### Example 20: Negated Property
Find relationships that aren't "knows":
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?x ?y
WHERE {
?x !foaf:knows ?y .
}
```
---
## Aggregation
### Example 21: COUNT
Count employees per company:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?company (COUNT(?employee) AS ?employeeCount)
WHERE {
?employee foaf:workplaceHomepage ?company .
}
GROUP BY ?company
```
### Example 22: AVG
Average salary by department:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?dept (AVG(?salary) AS ?avgSalary)
WHERE {
?employee ex:department ?dept .
?employee ex:salary ?salary .
}
GROUP BY ?dept
```
### Example 23: MIN and MAX
Salary range by department:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?dept (MIN(?salary) AS ?minSalary) (MAX(?salary) AS ?maxSalary)
WHERE {
?employee ex:department ?dept .
?employee ex:salary ?salary .
}
GROUP BY ?dept
```
### Example 24: GROUP_CONCAT
Concatenate skills per person:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?person (GROUP_CONCAT(?skill; SEPARATOR=", ") AS ?skills)
WHERE {
?person ex:hasSkill ?skill .
}
GROUP BY ?person
```
### Example 25: HAVING
Find departments with more than 10 employees:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?dept (COUNT(?employee) AS ?count)
WHERE {
?employee ex:department ?dept .
}
GROUP BY ?dept
HAVING (COUNT(?employee) > 10)
```
### Example 26: Multiple Aggregates
Comprehensive statistics per department:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?dept
(COUNT(?employee) AS ?empCount)
(AVG(?salary) AS ?avgSalary)
(MIN(?salary) AS ?minSalary)
(MAX(?salary) AS ?maxSalary)
(SUM(?salary) AS ?totalSalary)
WHERE {
?employee ex:department ?dept .
?employee ex:salary ?salary .
}
GROUP BY ?dept
ORDER BY DESC(?avgSalary)
```
---
## Update Operations
### Example 27: INSERT DATA
Add new triples:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
INSERT DATA {
<http://example.org/alice> foaf:name "Alice" .
<http://example.org/alice> foaf:age 30 .
<http://example.org/alice> foaf:email "alice@example.com" .
}
```
### Example 28: DELETE DATA
Remove specific triples:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
DELETE DATA {
<http://example.org/alice> foaf:email "old@example.com" .
}
```
### Example 29: DELETE/INSERT
Update based on pattern:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
DELETE { ?person foaf:age ?oldAge }
INSERT { ?person foaf:age ?newAge }
WHERE {
?person foaf:name "Alice" .
?person foaf:age ?oldAge .
BIND(?oldAge + 1 AS ?newAge)
}
```
### Example 30: DELETE WHERE
Remove triples matching pattern:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
DELETE WHERE {
?person foaf:email ?email .
FILTER(CONTAINS(?email, "@oldcompany.com"))
}
```
### Example 31: LOAD

```
### Example 33: CREATE and DROP
Manage graphs:
```sparql

-- later...
DROP GRAPH <http://example.org/oldgraph>
```
---
## Named Graphs
### Example 34: Query Specific Graph
Query data from a specific named graph:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name
FROM <http://example.org/graph1>
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
}
```
### Example 35: GRAPH Keyword
Query with graph variable:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?graph
WHERE {
GRAPH ?graph {
?person foaf:name ?name .
}
}
```
### Example 36: Query Multiple Graphs
Query data from multiple graphs:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name
FROM <http://example.org/graph1>
FROM <http://example.org/graph2>
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
}
```
### Example 37: Insert into Named Graph
Add triples to specific graph:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
INSERT DATA {
GRAPH <http://example.org/graph1> {
<http://example.org/bob> foaf:name "Bob" .
}
}
```
---
## Hybrid Queries (SPARQL + Vector)
### Example 38: Semantic Search with Knowledge Graph
Find people similar to a query embedding:
```sql
-- Using RuVector-Postgres hybrid function
SELECT * FROM ruvector_sparql_vector_search(
'SELECT ?person ?name ?bio
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person ex:bio ?bio .
?person ex:embedding ?embedding .
}',
'http://example.org/embedding',
'[0.15, 0.25, 0.35, ...]'::ruvector, -- query vector
0.8, -- similarity threshold
10 -- top K results
);
```
### Example 39: Combine Graph Traversal and Vector Similarity
Find friends of friends who are similar:
```sql
WITH friends_of_friends AS (
SELECT DISTINCT o.subject AS person
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t1
JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples t2 ON t1.object = t2.subject
WHERE t1.subject = 'http://example.org/alice'
AND t1.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows'
AND t2.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows'
)
SELECT
f.person,
r.object AS name,
e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector AS similarity
FROM friends_of_friends f
JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples r
ON f.person = r.subject
AND r.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name'
JOIN person_embeddings e
ON f.person = e.person_iri
WHERE e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector < 0.5
ORDER BY similarity
LIMIT 10;
```
### Example 40: Hybrid Ranking
Combine SPARQL pattern matching with vector similarity:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?person ?name ?skills
(ex:vectorSimilarity(?embedding, ?queryVector) AS ?similarity)
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person ex:skills ?skills .
?person ex:embedding ?embedding .
# Pattern constraints
FILTER(CONTAINS(?skills, "Python"))
FILTER(ex:vectorSimilarity(?embedding, ?queryVector) > 0.7)
}
ORDER BY DESC(?similarity)
LIMIT 20
```
### Example 41: Multi-Modal Search
Search using both text and semantic embeddings:
```sql
-- Combine full-text search with vector similarity
SELECT
t.subject AS document,
t_title.object AS title,
ts_rank(to_tsvector('english', t_content.object), plainto_tsquery('machine learning')) AS text_score,
e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector AS vector_score,
0.4 * ts_rank(to_tsvector('english', t_content.object), plainto_tsquery('machine learning'))
+ 0.6 * (1.0 - (e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector)) AS combined_score
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t
JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples t_title
ON t.subject = t_title.subject
AND t_title.predicate = 'http://purl.org/dc/terms/title'
JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples t_content
ON t.subject = t_content.subject
AND t_content.predicate = 'http://purl.org/dc/terms/content'
JOIN document_embeddings e
ON t.subject = e.doc_iri
WHERE to_tsvector('english', t_content.object) @@ plainto_tsquery('machine learning')
AND e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector < 0.8
ORDER BY combined_score DESC
LIMIT 50;
```
---
## Advanced Patterns
### Example 42: Subquery
Find companies with above-average salaries:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?company ?avgSalary
WHERE {
{
SELECT ?company (AVG(?salary) AS ?avgSalary)
WHERE {
?employee ex:worksAt ?company .
?employee ex:salary ?salary .
}
GROUP BY ?company
}
{
SELECT (AVG(?salary) AS ?overallAvg)
WHERE {
?employee ex:salary ?salary .
}
}
FILTER(?avgSalary > ?overallAvg)
}
ORDER BY DESC(?avgSalary)
```
### Example 43: VALUES
Query specific entities:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?person ?name ?age
WHERE {
VALUES ?person {
<http://example.org/alice>
<http://example.org/bob>
<http://example.org/charlie>
}
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:age ?age }
}
```
### Example 44: BIND
Compute new values:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?person ?fullName ?birthYear
WHERE {
?person foaf:givenName ?first .
?person foaf:familyName ?last .
?person foaf:age ?age .
BIND(CONCAT(?first, " ", ?last) AS ?fullName)
BIND(year(now()) - ?age AS ?birthYear)
}
```
### Example 45: NOT EXISTS
Find people without email:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?person ?name
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?person foaf:email ?email }
}
```
### Example 46: MINUS
Set difference - people who don't work at any company:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?person ?name
WHERE {
?person a foaf:Person .
?person foaf:name ?name .
MINUS {
?person ex:worksAt ?company .
}
}
```
### Example 47: Complex Property Path
Find all organizational hierarchies:
```sparql
PREFIX org: <http://www.w3.org/ns/org#>
SELECT ?person ?manager ?level
WHERE {
?person a foaf:Person .
# Find manager at any level
?person (^org:reportsTo)* ?manager .
# Calculate reporting level
BIND(1 AS ?level)
}
```
### Example 48: Conditional Logic
Categorize people by age:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?age ?category
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:age ?age .
BIND(
IF(?age < 18, "minor",
IF(?age < 65, "adult", "senior")
) AS ?category
)
}
```
### Example 49: String Manipulation
Extract username and domain from email:
```sparql
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?username ?domain
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:email ?email .
BIND(STRBEFORE(?email, "@") AS ?username)
BIND(STRAFTER(?email, "@") AS ?domain)
}
```
### Example 50: Date/Time Operations
Find recent activities:
```sparql
PREFIX ex: <http://example.org/>
SELECT ?person ?activity ?date
WHERE {
?person ex:activity ?activity .
?activity ex:date ?date .
# Activities in last 30 days
FILTER(?date > (now() - "P30D"^^xsd:duration))
}
ORDER BY DESC(?date)
```
---
## Performance Tips
### Use Specific Predicates
**Good:**
```sparql
?person foaf:name ?name .
```
**Avoid:**
```sparql
?person ?p ?name .
FILTER(?p = foaf:name)
```
### Order Patterns by Selectivity
**Good (most selective first):**
```sparql
?person foaf:email "alice@example.com" . # Very selective
?person foaf:name ?name . # Less selective
?person foaf:knows ?friend . # Least selective
```
### Use LIMIT
Always use LIMIT when exploring:
```sparql
SELECT ?s ?p ?o
WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
LIMIT 100
```
### Avoid Cartesian Products
**Bad:**
```sparql
?person1 foaf:name ?name1 .
?person2 foaf:name ?name2 .
```
**Good:**
```sparql
?person1 foaf:name ?name1 .
?person1 foaf:knows ?person2 .
?person2 foaf:name ?name2 .
```
### Use OPTIONAL Wisely
OPTIONAL can be expensive. Use only when necessary.

## Next Steps
1. Review the [SPARQL Specification](./SPARQL_SPECIFICATION.md) for complete syntax details
2. Check the [Implementation Guide](./IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md) for architecture
3. Try examples in your PostgreSQL environment
4. Adapt queries for your specific use case

## Phase 1: Data Model
### Triple Store Schema
```sql
-- Main triple store table
CREATE TABLE ruvector_rdf_triples (
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
-- Subject
subject TEXT NOT NULL,
subject_type VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL CHECK (subject_type IN ('iri', 'bnode')),
-- Predicate (always IRI)
predicate TEXT NOT NULL,
-- Object
object TEXT NOT NULL,
object_type VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL CHECK (object_type IN ('iri', 'literal', 'bnode')),
object_datatype TEXT,
object_language VARCHAR(20),
-- Named graph (NULL = default graph)
graph TEXT,
-- Metadata
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
modified_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
-- Indexes for all access patterns
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_spo ON ruvector_rdf_triples(subject, predicate, object);
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_pos ON ruvector_rdf_triples(predicate, object, subject);
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_osp ON ruvector_rdf_triples(object, subject, predicate);
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_graph ON ruvector_rdf_triples(graph) WHERE graph IS NOT NULL;
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_predicate ON ruvector_rdf_triples(predicate);
-- Full-text search on literals
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_object_text ON ruvector_rdf_triples
USING GIN(to_tsvector('english', object))
WHERE object_type = 'literal';
-- Namespace prefix mapping
CREATE TABLE ruvector_rdf_namespaces (
prefix VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
namespace TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
-- Named graph metadata
CREATE TABLE ruvector_rdf_graphs (
graph_iri TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
label TEXT,
description TEXT,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
modified_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
```
### Custom Types
```sql
-- RDF term type
CREATE TYPE ruvector_rdf_term AS (
value TEXT,
term_type VARCHAR(10), -- 'iri', 'literal', 'bnode'
datatype TEXT,
language VARCHAR(20)
);
-- SPARQL result binding
CREATE TYPE ruvector_sparql_binding AS (
variable TEXT,
term ruvector_rdf_term
);
```
---
## Phase 2: Core Functions
### Basic RDF Operations
```sql
-- Add a triple
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_add_triple(
subject TEXT,
subject_type VARCHAR(10),
predicate TEXT,
object TEXT,
object_type VARCHAR(10),
object_datatype TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
object_language VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT NULL,
graph TEXT DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS BIGINT;
-- Delete triples matching pattern
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_delete_triple(
subject TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
predicate TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
object TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
graph TEXT DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS INTEGER;
-- Check if triple exists
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_has_triple(
subject TEXT,
predicate TEXT,
object TEXT,
graph TEXT DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS BOOLEAN;
-- Get all triples for subject
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_get_triples(
subject TEXT,
graph TEXT DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS TABLE (
predicate TEXT,
object TEXT,
object_type VARCHAR(10),
object_datatype TEXT,
object_language VARCHAR(20)
);
```
### Namespace Management
```sql
-- Register namespace prefix
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_register_prefix(
prefix VARCHAR(50),
namespace TEXT
) RETURNS VOID;
-- Resolve prefixed name to IRI
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_expand_prefix(
prefixed_name TEXT
) RETURNS TEXT;
-- Shorten IRI to prefixed name
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_compact_iri(
iri TEXT
) RETURNS TEXT;
```
---
## Phase 3: SPARQL Query Engine
### Query Execution
```sql
-- Execute SPARQL SELECT query
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_query(
query TEXT,
parameters JSONB DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS TABLE (
bindings JSONB
);
-- Execute SPARQL ASK query
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_ask(
query TEXT,
parameters JSONB DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS BOOLEAN;
-- Execute SPARQL CONSTRUCT query
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_construct(
query TEXT,
parameters JSONB DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS TABLE (
subject TEXT,
predicate TEXT,
object TEXT,
object_type VARCHAR(10)
);
-- Execute SPARQL DESCRIBE query
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_describe(
resource TEXT,
graph TEXT DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS TABLE (
predicate TEXT,
object TEXT,
object_type VARCHAR(10)
);
```
### Update Operations
```sql
-- Execute SPARQL UPDATE
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_update(
update_query TEXT
) RETURNS INTEGER;
-- Bulk insert from N-Triples/Turtle
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_load(
data TEXT,
format VARCHAR(20), -- 'ntriples', 'turtle', 'rdfxml'
graph TEXT DEFAULT NULL
) RETURNS INTEGER;
```
---
## Phase 4: Query Translation
### SPARQL to SQL Translation Strategy
#### 1. Basic Graph Pattern (BGP)
**SPARQL:**
```sparql
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:age ?age .
```
**SQL:**
```sql
SELECT
t1.subject AS person,
t1.object AS name,
t2.object AS age
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t1
JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples t2
ON t1.subject = t2.subject
WHERE t1.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name'
AND t2.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/age'
AND t1.object_type = 'literal'
AND t2.object_type = 'literal';
```
#### 2. OPTIONAL Pattern
**SPARQL:**
```sparql
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:email ?email }
```
**SQL:**
```sql
SELECT
t1.subject AS person,
t1.object AS name,
t2.object AS email
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t1
LEFT JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples t2
ON t1.subject = t2.subject
AND t2.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/email'
WHERE t1.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name';
```
#### 3. UNION Pattern
**SPARQL:**
```sparql
{ ?x foaf:name ?name }
UNION
{ ?x rdfs:label ?name }
```
**SQL:**
```sql
SELECT subject AS x, object AS name
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples
WHERE predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name'
UNION ALL
SELECT subject AS x, object AS name
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples
WHERE predicate = 'http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label';
```
#### 4. FILTER with Comparison
**SPARQL:**
```sparql
?person foaf:age ?age .
FILTER(?age >= 18 && ?age < 65)
```
**SQL:**
```sql
SELECT
subject AS person,
object AS age
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples
WHERE predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/age'
AND object_type = 'literal'
AND object_datatype = 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer'
AND CAST(object AS INTEGER) >= 18
AND CAST(object AS INTEGER) < 65;
```
#### 5. Property Path (Transitive)
**SPARQL:**
```sparql
?person foaf:knows+ ?friend .
```
**SQL (with CTE):**
```sql
WITH RECURSIVE transitive AS (
-- Base case: direct connections
SELECT subject, object
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples
WHERE predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows'
UNION
-- Recursive case: follow chains
SELECT t.subject, r.object
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t
JOIN transitive r ON t.object = r.subject
WHERE t.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows'
)
SELECT subject AS person, object AS friend
FROM transitive;
```
#### 6. Aggregation with GROUP BY
**SPARQL:**
```sparql
SELECT ?company (COUNT(?employee) AS ?count) (AVG(?salary) AS ?avg)
WHERE {
?employee foaf:workplaceHomepage ?company .
?employee ex:salary ?salary .
}
GROUP BY ?company
HAVING (COUNT(?employee) >= 10)
```
**SQL:**
```sql
SELECT
t1.object AS company,
COUNT(*) AS count,
AVG(CAST(t2.object AS NUMERIC)) AS avg
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t1
JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples t2
ON t1.subject = t2.subject
WHERE t1.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/workplaceHomepage'
AND t2.predicate = 'http://example.org/salary'
AND t2.object_type = 'literal'
GROUP BY t1.object
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 10;
```
---
## Phase 5: Optimization
### Query Optimization Strategies
#### 1. Statistics Collection
```sql
-- Predicate statistics
CREATE TABLE ruvector_rdf_stats (
predicate TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
triple_count BIGINT,
distinct_subjects BIGINT,
distinct_objects BIGINT,
avg_object_length NUMERIC,
last_updated TIMESTAMP
);
-- Update statistics
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_update_stats() RETURNS VOID AS $$
BEGIN
DELETE FROM ruvector_rdf_stats;
INSERT INTO ruvector_rdf_stats
SELECT
predicate,
COUNT(*) as triple_count,
COUNT(DISTINCT subject) as distinct_subjects,
COUNT(DISTINCT object) as distinct_objects,
AVG(LENGTH(object)) as avg_object_length,
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples
GROUP BY predicate;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
```
#### 2. Join Ordering
Use statistics to order joins by selectivity:
1. Most selective (fewest results) first
2. Predicates with fewer distinct values
3. Literal objects before IRI objects
#### 3. Materialized Property Paths
```sql
-- Materialize common transitive closures
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ruvector_rdf_knows_closure AS
WITH RECURSIVE transitive AS (
SELECT subject, object, 1 as depth
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples
WHERE predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows'
UNION
SELECT t.subject, r.object, r.depth + 1
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t
JOIN transitive r ON t.object = r.subject
WHERE t.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows'
AND r.depth < 10 -- Limit depth
)
SELECT * FROM transitive;
CREATE INDEX idx_knows_closure_so ON ruvector_rdf_knows_closure(subject, object);
```
#### 4. Cached Queries
```sql
-- Query cache
CREATE TABLE ruvector_sparql_cache (
query_hash TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
query TEXT,
plan JSONB,
result JSONB,
created_at TIMESTAMP,
hit_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
avg_exec_time INTERVAL
);
```
---
## Phase 6: Integration with RuVector
### Hybrid Queries (SPARQL + Vector Search)
```sql
-- Function to combine SPARQL with vector similarity
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_vector_search(
sparql_query TEXT,
embedding_predicate TEXT,
query_vector ruvector,
similarity_threshold FLOAT,
top_k INTEGER
) RETURNS TABLE (
subject TEXT,
bindings JSONB,
similarity FLOAT
);
```
**Example Usage:**
```sql
-- Find similar people based on semantic description
SELECT * FROM ruvector_sparql_vector_search(
'SELECT ?person ?name ?interests
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
?person ex:interests ?interests .
?person ex:embedding ?embedding .
}',
'http://example.org/embedding',
'[0.15, 0.25, ...]'::ruvector,
0.8,
10
);
```
### Knowledge Graph + Vector Embeddings
```sql
-- Store both RDF triples and embeddings
INSERT INTO ruvector_rdf_triples (subject, predicate, object, object_type)
VALUES
('http://example.org/alice', 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name', 'Alice', 'literal'),
('http://example.org/alice', 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/age', '30', 'literal');
-- Add vector embedding using RuVector
CREATE TABLE person_embeddings (
person_iri TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
embedding ruvector(384)
);
INSERT INTO person_embeddings VALUES
('http://example.org/alice', '[0.1, 0.2, ...]'::ruvector);
-- Query combining both
SELECT
r.subject AS person,
r.object AS name,
v.embedding <=> $1::ruvector AS similarity
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples r
JOIN person_embeddings v ON r.subject = v.person_iri
WHERE r.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name'
AND v.embedding <=> $1::ruvector < 0.5
ORDER BY similarity
LIMIT 10;
```
---
## Phase 7: Advanced Features
### 1. SPARQL Federation
Support for SERVICE keyword to query remote endpoints:
```sql
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_federated_query(
query TEXT,
remote_endpoints JSONB
) RETURNS TABLE (bindings JSONB);
```
### 2. Full-Text Search Integration
```sql
-- SPARQL query with full-text search
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_sparql_text_search(
search_term TEXT,
language TEXT DEFAULT 'english'
) RETURNS TABLE (
subject TEXT,
predicate TEXT,
object TEXT,
rank FLOAT
);
```
### 3. GeoSPARQL Support
```sql
-- Spatial predicates
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_geo_within(
point1 GEOMETRY,
point2 GEOMETRY,
distance_meters FLOAT
) RETURNS BOOLEAN;
```
### 4. Reasoning and Inference
```sql
-- Simple RDFS entailment
CREATE FUNCTION ruvector_rdf_infer_rdfs() RETURNS INTEGER;
-- Materialize inferred triples
CREATE TABLE ruvector_rdf_inferred (
LIKE ruvector_rdf_triples INCLUDING ALL,
inference_rule TEXT
);
```

?person foaf:name ?name .
?person foaf:age ?age .
# Shared subject (semicolon)
?person foaf:name ?name ;
foaf:age ?age ;
foaf:email ?email .
# Shared subject-predicate (comma)
?person foaf:knows ?alice, ?bob, ?charlie .
# rdf:type shorthand
?person a foaf:Person . # Same as: ?person rdf:type foaf:Person
```
---
## Graph Patterns
```sparql
# OPTIONAL - Left join

# VALUES - Inline data
VALUES ?x { :alice :bob :charlie }
# Subquery
{
SELECT ?company (AVG(?salary) AS ?avg)
WHERE { ... }
GROUP BY ?company
}
```
---
## Property Paths
```sparql
# Sequence
?x foaf:knows / foaf:name ?name
# Alternative

# Inverse
?child ^ex:hasChild ?parent
# Zero or more
?x foaf:knows* ?connected
# One or more
?x foaf:knows+ ?friend
# Zero or one

# Negation
?x !rdf:type ?y
```
---
## Filters

FILTER(?score > 0.5 && ?score < 1.0)
# String functions
FILTER(CONTAINS(?email, "@example.com"))
FILTER(STRSTARTS(?name, "A"))
FILTER(STRENDS(?url, ".com"))
FILTER(REGEX(?text, "pattern", "i"))
# Logical

FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?x foaf:email ?email }
```
---
## Solution Modifiers
```sparql
# ORDER BY - Sort results
ORDER BY ?age # Ascending (default)
ORDER BY DESC(?age) # Descending
ORDER BY ?name DESC(?age) # Multiple criteria

?person foaf:email ?email
}
# MINUS - Set difference

}
```
---
## Common Patterns
### Find all triples
```sparql
SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 100
```
### Count triples
```sparql
SELECT (COUNT(*) AS ?count) WHERE { ?s ?p ?o }
```
### List all predicates
```sparql
SELECT DISTINCT ?predicate WHERE { ?s ?predicate ?o }
```
### List all types
```sparql
SELECT DISTINCT ?type WHERE { ?s a ?type }
```
### Full-text search (implementation-specific)
```sparql
?document dc:content ?content .
FILTER(CONTAINS(LCASE(?content), "search term"))
```
### Pagination
```sparql
SELECT ?x WHERE { ... }
ORDER BY ?x
LIMIT 20 OFFSET 40 # Page 3, 20 per page
```
### Date range
```sparql
?event ex:date ?date .
FILTER(?date >= "2025-01-01"^^xsd:date && ?date < "2026-01-01"^^xsd:date)
```
### Optional chain
```sparql
?person foaf:knows ?friend .
OPTIONAL {
?friend foaf:knows ?friendOfFriend .
OPTIONAL {
?friendOfFriend foaf:name ?name .
}
}
```
---
## Performance Tips
1. **Be specific**: Use exact predicates instead of `?p`
2. **Order matters**: Put most selective patterns first
3. **Use LIMIT**: Always limit results when exploring
4. **Avoid cartesian products**: Connect patterns with shared variables
5. **Index-friendly**: Query by subject or predicate when possible
6. **OPTIONAL is expensive**: Use sparingly
7. **Property paths**: Simple paths (/, ^) are faster than complex ones (+, *)
---
## Common XSD Datatypes
```sparql
xsd:string # String (default for plain literals)
xsd:integer # Integer
xsd:decimal # Decimal number
xsd:double # Double-precision float
xsd:boolean # Boolean (true/false)
xsd:date # Date (YYYY-MM-DD)
xsd:dateTime # Date and time
xsd:time # Time
xsd:duration # Duration (P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S)
```
---
## Result Formats
- **JSON**: `application/sparql-results+json`
- **XML**: `application/sparql-results+xml`
- **CSV**: `text/csv`
- **TSV**: `text/tab-separated-values`
---
## Error Handling
```sparql
# Use COALESCE for defaults
SELECT ?name (COALESCE(?email, "no-email") AS ?contact)
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:email ?email }
}
# Use IF for conditional logic
SELECT ?name (IF(bound(?email), ?email, "N/A") AS ?contact)
WHERE {
?person foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL { ?person foaf:email ?email }
}
# Silent operations (UPDATE)
LOAD SILENT <http://example.org/data.ttl>
DROP SILENT GRAPH <http://example.org/g1>
```

## RuVector Integration Examples
### Vector similarity in SPARQL
```sql
SELECT
r.object AS name,
ruvector_cosine_similarity(e.embedding, $1) AS similarity
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples r
JOIN person_embeddings e ON r.subject = e.person_iri
WHERE r.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name'
AND ruvector_cosine_similarity(e.embedding, $1) > 0.8
ORDER BY similarity DESC
LIMIT 10;
```
### Hybrid knowledge graph + vector search
```sql
-- SPARQL pattern matching + vector ranking
WITH sparql_results AS (
SELECT t1.subject AS person, t1.object AS name
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples t1
JOIN ruvector_rdf_triples t2 ON t1.subject = t2.subject
WHERE t1.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name'
AND t2.predicate = 'http://example.org/interests'
AND t2.object = 'machine learning'
)
SELECT
s.person,
s.name,
e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector AS distance
FROM sparql_results s
JOIN person_embeddings e ON s.person = e.person_iri
ORDER BY distance
LIMIT 20;
```

## Key Research Findings
### 1. SPARQL 1.1 Core Features
**Query Forms:**
- SELECT: Return variable bindings as table
- CONSTRUCT: Build new RDF graph from template
- ASK: Return boolean if pattern matches
- DESCRIBE: Return implementation-specific resource description
**Essential Operations:**
- Basic Graph Patterns (BGP): Conjunction of triple patterns
- OPTIONAL: Left outer join for optional patterns
- UNION: Disjunction (alternatives)
- FILTER: Constraint satisfaction
- Property Paths: Regular expression-like navigation
- Aggregates: COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, GROUP_CONCAT, SAMPLE
**Update Operations:**
- INSERT DATA / DELETE DATA: Ground triples
- DELETE/INSERT WHERE: Pattern-based updates
- LOAD: Import RDF documents
- Graph management: CREATE, DROP, CLEAR, COPY, MOVE, ADD

### 2. Implementation Strategy for PostgreSQL
#### Data Model
```sql
-- Efficient triple store with multiple indexes
CREATE TABLE ruvector_rdf_triples (
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
subject TEXT NOT NULL,
subject_type VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
predicate TEXT NOT NULL,
object TEXT NOT NULL,
object_type VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
object_datatype TEXT,
object_language VARCHAR(20),
graph TEXT
);
-- Covering indexes for all access patterns
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_spo ON ruvector_rdf_triples(subject, predicate, object);
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_pos ON ruvector_rdf_triples(predicate, object, subject);
CREATE INDEX idx_rdf_osp ON ruvector_rdf_triples(object, subject, predicate);
```
#### Query Translation Pipeline
```
SPARQL Query Text
↓
Parse (Rust parser)
↓
SPARQL Algebra (BGP, Join, LeftJoin, Filter, Union)
↓
Optimize (Statistics-based join ordering)
↓
SQL Generation (PostgreSQL queries with CTEs)
↓
Execute & Format Results (JSON/XML/CSV/TSV)
```
#### Key Translation Patterns
- **BGP → JOIN**: Triple patterns become table joins
- **OPTIONAL → LEFT JOIN**: Optional patterns become left outer joins
- **UNION → UNION ALL**: Alternative patterns combine results
- **FILTER → WHERE**: Constraints translate to SQL WHERE clauses
- **Property Paths → CTE**: Recursive CTEs for transitive closure
- **Aggregates → GROUP BY**: Direct mapping to SQL aggregates
---
### 3. Performance Optimization
**Critical Optimizations:**
1. **Multi-pattern indexes**: SPO, POS, OSP covering all join orders
2. **Statistics collection**: Predicate selectivity for join ordering
3. **Materialized views**: Pre-compute common property paths
4. **Query result caching**: Cache parsed queries and compiled SQL
5. **Prepared statements**: Reduce parsing overhead
6. **Parallel execution**: Leverage PostgreSQL parallel query
**Target Performance** (1M triples):
- Simple BGP (3 patterns): < 10ms
- Complex query (joins + filters): < 100ms
- Property path (depth 5): < 500ms
- Aggregate query: < 200ms
- Bulk insert (1000 triples): < 100ms

### 4. RuVector Integration Opportunities
#### Hybrid Semantic + Vector Search
Combine SPARQL graph patterns with vector similarity:
```sql
-- Find similar people matching graph patterns
SELECT
r.subject AS person,
r.object AS name,
e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector AS similarity
FROM ruvector_rdf_triples r
JOIN person_embeddings e ON r.subject = e.person_iri
WHERE r.predicate = 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name'
AND e.embedding <=> $1::ruvector < 0.5
ORDER BY similarity
LIMIT 10;
```
#### Use Cases
1. **Knowledge Graph Search**: Find entities matching semantic patterns
2. **Multi-modal Retrieval**: Combine text patterns with vector similarity
3. **Hierarchical Embeddings**: Use hyperbolic distances in RDF hierarchies
4. **Contextual RAG**: Use knowledge graph to enrich vector search context
5. **Agent Routing**: Use SPARQL to query agent capabilities + vector match
