Windows 7
For the life of me I cannot find how to or what file to download Jena ARQ.
Nor can I find how to install it. I assume others have had this problem.
Can anyone point me to a forum where a solution to this problem is
articulated? Thanks Edwin.

Thanks Palo
Yes I've spent hours exploring that site and downloading the zip and other
files in the 'Parent Directory'. No luck. There isn't an installation
file, a .exe file or a .jar file. I assume that whatever it is will run on
a java console ... but there is no indication how jena will find java.
I've opened the folder from the Firefox browser. I can read any or the
files but nothing happens. This is the nearest to an installation
instruction :
"To use Jena in your application, ensure all the .jar files in the
lib/
directory are on the classpath or available to your web application. Jena
is built and test with these .jar files."
No where on the site does it indicate that the program will not work on
Windows (or any operating system for that matter).

Hi Edwin,
have you seen this: http://incubator.apache.org/jena/download/ ?
Apache Jena includes ARQ, download this file:

Hi Edwin
If you are looking for Windows based tooling for RDF/SPARQL you may also want to look at [1] which is another open source project I've worked on besides Jena
Hope this helps,
Rob

By the way, in a similar way you can install Fuseki which includes: Jena, ARQ, TDB and Jetty to serve the HTTP stuff.
cd /tmp
wget http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/jena/jena-fuseki-0.2.1-incubating/jena-fuseki-0.2.1-incubating-distribution.zip
unzip jena-fuseki-0.2.1-incubating-distribution.zip
cd jena-fuseki-0.2.1-incubating-distribution
Verify and load data:
java -cp fuseki-server.jar tdb.tdbloader --version
java -cp fuseki-server.jar tdb.tdbloader --loc=/tmp/tdb /path/to/data/*.nt
Run the server:
./fuseki-server --loc /tmp/tdb --update /datasetname
Open your browser:
firefor http://127.0.0.1:3030
Or use it from a command line (i.e. Ruby scripts):
cd /tmp/jena-fuseki-0.2.1-incubating-distribution/
chmod +x s-*
./s-query --service=http://127.0.0.1:3030/datasetname/sparql
--output=text "SELECT * { ..."
Documentation here:
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/documentation/serving_data/
I used /tmp just for this example, pick you location.
Once again, this is on Linux|UNIX on Windows you need to slightly adapt a few commands... but, it's mainly: download, unzip, load some data and run.
Fuseki offers you a SPARQL endpoint over HTTP and you can use your favorite HTTP client.

Hi Edwin,
this is how I install Apache Jena (which includes ARQ):
wget http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/jena/apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating/apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating.zip
unzip apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating.zip
cd apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating
cat README ;-)
export JENAROOT=/tmp/apache-jena-2.7.0-incubating
export PATH=$JENAROOT/bin:$PATH
Load (in-memory, for small datasets only) some data and run a query:
arq --data=filename.nt "SELECT * { ..."
arq --data=filename.nt --query filename.rq
See also:
arq --help
Documentation here:
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/documentation/query/
On a Windows system there are small changes ';' instead of ':' for environment variables and a different way to the them.

The readers of this mailing list are hardly responsible for the accuracy of a book written by none of us.
However, I think I see the explanation. Pre-Apache, Jena ARQ was distributed as a zip file which contained command-line scripts you could use to work with SPARQL. The current ARQ package is just the jar for the classpath, not this other stuff.
