Hello Simile, I'm hunting for any resources on SPARQL/RDF driven reporting engines. We're reviewing possible solutions for reporting on top of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and given we're very bent on getting RDF usage more main- stream, we are interested in something that would be very flexible and allow various sources to Query and return result sets that can be processed in something like JSP/Velocity/Java/Whatever to produce canned reports we design against the following types of Data sources.
Apache/Log4j Logs DSpace Relation Databases (Postgresql) DSpace Object Model (Java) Metadata, Policy and History RDF triple-stores (Sesame/Java/SPARQL/ Longwell) I've been exploring some of the Simile tools, especially "Referee", with the inital interest of getting Apache Log data into a triple- store and available for generating reports against. While tools for processing Apache logs and gathering statistics do exist, it might be of greater interest to get such data into a common reporting framework with other data sources. My initial ideas were originally based on Relational tools like Crystal Reports/Jasper Reports. I'm seeking any information on hybrid/common solutions that might span sources of various format/protocol and one platform of interest to me at the moment is BIRT: http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/intro/ The logic being that RDF/SPARQL data-sources could be created/adapted to the framework which already has its own report generation tooling. One could go directly from Apache Logs into BIRT, but that would be much less RDF centric and we would still need to explore access to our triple-stores used in our Policy and History subsystems. Any recommendations or suggestions would be received with much gratitude. Cheers, Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
