Star Pattern Fragments: Accessing Knowledge Graphs through Star Patterns

Understand

The Semantic Web offers access to a vast Web of interlinked information accessible via SPARQL endpoints.

• Such endpoints offer a well-defined interface to retrieve results for complex SPARQL queries.
• The computational load for processing such SPARQL endpoints offer access to a vast amount of interlinked information.
• While they offer a well-defined interface for efficiently retrieving results for complex SPARQL queries, complex query loads can easily overload or crash endpoints as all the computational load of answering the queries resides entirely with the server hosting the endpoint.
