SPARQL Protocol Implementation Report

Introduction

This report by the RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) is in support of a transition to Proposed Recommendation for the SPARQL Protocol for RDF specification. In particular, it fulfills the following Candidate Recommendation exit criteria set forth in the 6 Apr 2006 CR publication of the specification:

Each identified SPARQL feature has at least two implementations.

Features

The SPARQL Protocol for RDF defines a WSDL 2.0 interface, SparqlQuery, as well as bindings of that interface for HTTP and SOAP. The SparqlQuery interface consists of one operation with one required in parameter, query and two optional, repeating parameters, default-graph-uri and named-graph-uri. The protocol also interacts with the SPARQL Query Language for RDF in several ways, including the definition of a query's dataset and the form (MIME type) of a query's results.

Based on the components of the SPARQL Protocol and its interactions with the other SPARQL specifications, the Working Group has identified the following features to be tested for interoperabilility:

Simple dataset. SELECT query with protocol-only-specified dataset containing a single default-graph-uri, returns application/sparql-results+xml
Complex dataset. SELECT query with protocol-only-specified dataset containing a single default-graph-uri and multiple named-graph-uris, returns application/sparql-results+xml
Query dataset. SELECT query with dataset specified in the query and not in the protocol, returns application/sparql-results+xml
Ambiguous dataset. SELECT query with dataset specified in both protocol and query, protocol dataset takes priority, returns application/sparql-results+xml
ASK results. ASK query with protocol-only-specified dataset, returns boolean form of application/sparql-results+xml
CONSTRUCT results. CONSTRUCT query with protocol-only-specified dataset, returns application/rdf+xml
Malformed query. Malformed query, returns MalformedQuery fault

In addition, the Working Group tested for the following features that are implementation-defined or are not required of conformant protocol implementations:

Query refused. Protocol implementations that choose not to process a query can return a QueryRequestRefused fault.
No dataset. SELECT query with no specified dataset (neither via the protocol nor the query) uses implementation-defined dataset
DESCRIBE results. DESCRIBE query, an informative part of the SPARQL Query Language for RDF, returns implementation-defined application/rdf+xml

Testing Procedure

Because of the relatively lightweight nature of the SPARQL Protocol and because of time constraints that saw most DAWG testing effort go to the more complex SPARQL Query Language for RDF test suite and implementation report, protocol interoperability testing was performed to satisfy CR exit criteria, rather than to solicit information on all known SPARQL Protocol implementations. Most SPARQL Protocol implementations implement the HTTP bindings only, and so most tests were performed against the HTTP bindings. SOAP testing was performed to demonstrate interoperability of two known SOAP implementations of the SPARQL Protocol.

Tests were derived from the examples in sections 2.2.1 (HTTP) and 2.3.1 (SOAP) of the specification. For the HTTP tests, a python client issues test queries against designated endpoints, checking that both the response HTTP status code and the contents of the response are correct.

Because the QueryRequestRefused fault is an optional behavior under implementation-defined conditions, we have solicited information from implementors that make use of the fault.

Test Results

HTTP Bindings

Three implementations of the HTTP bindings for the SPARQL Protocol for RDF were tested:

Joseki, from Hewlett-Packard
Algae, from Eric Prud'hommeaux, W3C
AllegroGraph, from Franz Inc.

The following table summarizes the results of testing. Green cells indicate that an implementation passed the test for a particular feature; yellow cells indicate that an implementation passed the test with caveats explained below; and red cells indicate that an implementation did not pass a particular test. The text in each cell is the HTTP status code received for the test, and the link is to the output received from the test.

Required tests for conformant implementations of the SPARQL Protocol HTTP Bindings
	Joseki	Algae	AllegroGraph
Simple dataset	200	200	200
Complex dataset	200	200	200
Query dataset	200	200	200
Ambiguous dataset	200	200	200
ASK results	200	200	200
CONSTRUCT results	200	200	200
Malformed query	400	400	400

Implementation-defined or optional-behavior tests of the SPARQL Protocol HTTP bindings
	Joseki	Algae	AllegroGraph
No dataset	[1]	200 [1]	200 [1]
DESCRIBE results [2]	200	200	200

[1] Requires deployed endpoint specifically configured with test dataset.
[2] The DESCRIBE test assumes endpoints that return all the triples for which a given resource is the subject. Some common DESCRIBE approaches, such as returning a resource's Concise Bounded Description, satisfy this assumption, which is why the DESCRIBE interoperability test succeeded

SOAP Binding

Two implementations of the SOAP bindings for the SPARQL Protocol for RDF were tested:

Virtusoso from Openlink Software
Joseki, from Hewlett-Packard

Tests were limited to SOAP 1.1 and WSDL 1.1, using Virtuoso as the server and a prototype Joseki SOAP client.

Queries returned results in the SPARQL XML Results Set Format embedded in a valid SOAP reply. Both SELECT and CONSTRUCT query forms were tried successfully.

Further, the WSDL 2.0 service description has been compiled with Axis2 v1.3 to produce a valid skeleton for implementation.

QueryRequestRefused fault

Both Joseki and AllegroGraph make use of the QueryRequestRefused fault. Joseki will refuse queries for a myriad of reasons, including refusal to access a graph on the local filesystem. AllegroGraph makes use of the fault to reflect the fact that the underlying triple store is not in a state to answer a particular query. Further uses of the QueryRequestRefused fault are expected, as AllegroGraph implementor Richard Newman commented:

There is a whole space of query (e.g., queries with inference that include ?s ?p ?o) that an endpoint should be allowed to refuse without asserting that the query is invalid.
