[ANN] Maven for Data Beta
Dear all,
we developed a Maven for Data. It is still beta, but we already use it
productively to publish DBpedia's data
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBpedia, https://wiki.dbpedia.org/)
While I attached a lot of specific information about the data and
management part below, I would like to highlight the Maven parts:
# Download of Data
* http://databus.dbpedia.org is inspired by maven central and archiva.
Software is much smaller in size and of course, we can not host all of
it, therefore we just keep the metadata with links to decentral downloadURLs
* The data can be viewed on the website and also downloaded via SPARQL:
http://dev.dbpedia.org/Download_Data
* The version URLs serve as download plugin configuration parameter:
http://dev.dbpedia.org/Databus_Derive_Maven_Integration
<version>https://databus.dbpedia.org/dbpedia/enrichment/mappingbased-literals/2019.03.01</version>
is equivalent to <dependency> for software, but it downloads the data
into "target/databus/download"
the goal "databus-derive:clone" can be called before "exec", so the
software can use the downloaded data
# Upload
* we have an upload plugin
http://dev.dbpedia.org/Databus_Upload_User_Manual with:
** mvn validate -> check account and consistency
** mvn prepare-package (goal databus:metadata -> collects metadata in
target/databus/$artifact/$version/dataid.ttl
** mvn package -> copies data into a package directory on the server
often /var/www/html/databusrepo/$user/$group/$artifact/$version
** mvn deploy -> post the dataid.ttl to databus.dbpedia.org
** We configure it with pom.xml and markdown docu:
https://github.com/dbpedia/databus-maven-plugin/tree/master/dbpedia/mappings
* the derive plugin will be merged with features of the Databus Client:
http://dev.dbpedia.org/Databus_Client
Overall, it doesn't have all features yet and it is overall not in a
state where we could remove the "-SNAPSHOT" but we are running several
thousand files through it each month.
Databus comes with Mods, which serve as a Continous Integration for data
tests (parsing and SHACL) similar to Jenkins and Travis.
We would like to thank Maven for all its cool features. It is really
good and we could work very effectively with it. Thanks to the
flexibility, we could also bend it to fit data better.
Do you have any suggestions on potential cooperations?
All the best,
Sebastian

[Please forward to interested colleagues]
We are proud to announce that the DBpedia Databus website
at<https://databus.dbpedia.org/>_https://databus.dbpedia.org_
<https://databus.dbpedia.org/> and the SPARQL API
at<https://databus.dbpedia.org/(repo/sparql|yasgui)>_https://databus.dbpedia.org/(repo/sparql|yasgui)_
(_docu_ <http://dev.dbpedia.org/Download_Data>) are in public beta now.
The system is usable (eat-your-own-dog-food tested) following a “working
software over comprehensive documentation” approach. Due to its many
components (website, sparql endpoints, keycloak, mods, upload client,
download client, and data debugging), we estimate approximately six
months in beta to fix bugs, implement all features and improve the
details. If you have any feedback or questions, please use
the<https://forum.dbpedia.org/>_DBpedia Forum_
<https://forum.dbpedia.org/>, the “report issues” button, or
_dbpedia@infai.org_.

We are looking forward to the feedback and discussion at the_14th
DBpedia Community Meeting at SEMANTiCS 2019 in Karlsruhe_

on September 12th or online.

# Excerpt

DBpedia Databus
The DBpedia Databus is a platform to capture invested effort by data
consumers who needed better data quality (fitness for use) in order to
use the data and give improvements back to the data source and other
consumers. DBpedia Databus enables anybody to build an automated
DBpedia-style extraction, mapping and testing for any data they need.
Databus incorporates features from DNS, Git, RSS, online forums and
Maven to harness the full workpower of data consumers.
Vision
Professional consumers of data worldwide have already built stable
cleaning and refinement chains for all available datasets, but their
efforts are invisible and not reusable. Deep, cleaned data silos exist
beyond the reach of publishers and other consumers trapped locally in
pipelines.
*Data is not oil that flows out of inflexible pipelines*. Databus breaks
existing pipelines into individual components that together form a
decentralized, but centrally coordinated data network in which data can
flow back to previous components, the original sources, or end up being
consumed by external components,
The Databus provides a platform for re-publishing these files with very
little effort (leaving file traffic as only cost factor) while offering
the full benefits of built-in system features such as automated
publication, structured querying, automatic ingestion, as well as
pluggable automated analysis, data testing via continuous integration,
and automated application deployment *(software with data)*. The impact
is highly synergistic, just a few thousand professional consumers and
research projects can expose millions of cleaned datasets, which are on
par with what has long existed in deep silos and pipelines.
1 Billion interconnected, quality-controlled Knowledge Graphs until 2025
As we are inversing the paradigm form a publisher-centric view to a data
consumer network, we will open the download valve to enable discovery
and access to massive amounts of cleaner data than published by the
original source. The main DBpedia Knowledge Graph - cleaned data from
Wikipedia in all languages and Wikidata - alone has 600k file downloads
per year complemented by downloads at over 20 chapter,
e.g.<http://es.dbpedia.org/>_http://es.dbpedia.org_
<http://es.dbpedia.org/> as well as over 8 million daily hits on the
main Virtuoso endpoint. Community extension from the alpha phase such
as<https://databus.dbpedia.org/sven-h/dbkwik/dbkwik/2019.09.02>_DBkWik_
<https://databus.dbpedia.org/sven-h/dbkwik/dbkwik/2019.09.02>,<https://databus.dbpedia.org/propan/lhd/linked-hypernyms>_LinkedHypernyms_
<https://databus.dbpedia.org/propan/lhd/linked-hypernyms> are being
loaded onto the bus and consolidated and we expect this number to reach
over 100 by the end of the year. Companies and organisations who
have<https://github.com/dbpedia/links>_previously uploaded their
backlinks here_ <https://github.com/dbpedia/links> will be able to
migrate to the databus. Other datasets are cleaned and posted. In two of
our research projects_LOD-GEOSS_
<https://www.enargus.de/pub/bscw.cgi/?op=enargus.eps2&s=14&q=BASF%20SE&v=10&m=2&id=1216225&p=1>
and<http://plass.io/>_PLASS_ <http://plass.io/>, we will re-publish open
datasets, clean them and create collections, which will result in
DBpedia-style knowledge graphs for energy systems and supply-chain
management.
