SeRQL does not provide update / insert option for sesame?

Question

I am trying to use the Sesame repository to store my ontology. I wanted to write JAVA code to load this ontology or simply run queries on it to add new faces, properties, etc. But it seems that SeRQL does not provide update operations. Is there any API that will allow me to do this? I was able to do the same with OWLAPI, but it could load the ontology from a file, and not from the sesame repository.

thank

Answer 1

SeRQL does not support update operations. SPARQL does in its version 1.1, but I believe that Sesame does not yet support SPARQL 1.1. The way to update the Sesame repository is through the SAIL API . Run a transaction to add and remove individual statements.

Answer 2

I just wanted to indicate that the main access interface to Sesame is actually the storage API . It is much easier to use than a sail (which is not really intended for direct access, but is a system internal API for packing various storages and arguments).
