RDF graphs made of RDF query language queries
A method, software and/or computer system for representing a set of SPARQL queries. The set of SPARQL queries are converting into an RDF representation of the set of SPARQL queries (that is, a SPARQL RDF graph). The SPARQL RDF graph is applied to a target RDF graph to yield a transformed target representing the responses to the set of queries, as an ontology or as text.
1. A system comprising:
a set of processor(s); and
a storage device configured to store machine executable program instructions;
wherein:
the set of processor(s) and the storage device are operatively connected so that the set of processor(s) executes the machine executable program instructions;
the machine executable program instructions include:
first program instructions programmed to receive, by a transformation engine, a machine readable input data set corresponding to a Resource Description Framework (RDF) graph which is arranged as a hierarchy nodes having a plurality of ordered levels, with the order of the levels of the plurality of levels running from a root node level to a lowest node level,
second program instructions programmed to traverse, using a transformation engine, the nodes of the RDF graph, starting at the root node and proceeding through the other nodes in a depth first order, so that at each node of the RDF graph, a transformation engine performs the following operations:
selecting, using a package selectQuery, included in the transformation engine, a set of package(s) of the current node included in the current node being traversed,
for each package of the set of package(s) of the current node, constructing, using a package constructor included in the transformation engine, a target for the package,
for each package of the set of package(s) of the current node, selecting, using a class selectQuery included in the transformation engine, a set of class(es) of the current package of the current node, and
for each class of each set of classes of each package of the set of package(s) of the current node, constructing, using a class constructor included in the transformation engine, a target for the class, and
third program instructions programmed to assemble, based upon content of the RDF graph, targets for the packages included in the RDF graph and targets for the classes included in the RDF graph, an alternative presentation for the content of the RDF graph, with the alternative presentation taking the form of a text based presentation.

for each package of the set of package(s) of the current node, constructing, using a package constructor included in the transformation engine, a target for the package,
for each package of the set of package(s) of the current node, selecting, using a class selectQuery included in the transformation engine, a set of class(es) of the current package of the current node, and
