Adam Shepherd: Implementing a Virtuoso Service for Indexing Drupal RDF
Channel: Bruce Caron
Date: 2013-11-06

Stephane Corlesquet's RDF Indexer module, coupled with the ARC2 store module, laid the groundwork for efficient triplestore management by leveraging the Drupal Search API. This coupling provides a low threshold for users wanting to expose their content for semantic querying. However, for users who already have an established triplestore, or prefer some of the features of other triplestore implementations, there was a need to bridge Stephane's work to this community. Based on discussions with Stephane, I submitted a patch to bridge this gap for triplestores implementations that exist outside of the Drupal environment. This talk will demo the patch and the ways I've chosen to implement and extend Drupal RDF's capabilities, but more importantly, shed light on the need for collaboration between contributed Drupal module developers and module users/consumers/critics.
