Hi All,

I would be very interested in seeing a standard way to extend the Service 
Description with
"authentication", "limits" and some content statistics.

What I mean with content statistics is instead of running
SELECT DISTINCT ?type WHERE {[] a ?type}

You look for void class partitions in the description of the named graphs in 
the service description.

I tried to do this for beta.sparql.uniprot.org.

In the meantime, you could simply publish your extensions i.e., publish a Turtle document that reflects these extensions to the standard service description vocabulary. We can start putting this to use en route to standardization. Personally, this is a practical way forward due to the protracted nature of standardization.

Frans, SPARQL 1.1 introduced the notion of Service Descriptions [1]. Although 
these probably don't go far enough in the standard they are, I believe, 
extensible.

Hello,

I am experimenting with running SPARQL endpoints and I notice the need to 
impose some limits to prevent overloading/abuse. The easiest and I believe 
fairly common way to do that is to LIMIT the number of results that the 
endpoint will return for a single query.

I now wonder how I can publish the fact that my SPARQL endpoint has a LIMIT and 
that is has a certain value.

I have read the thread Public SPARQL endpoints:managing (mis)-use and 
communicating limits to users, but that seemed to be about how to communicate 
limits during querying. I would like to know if there is a way to communicate 
limits before querying is started.

It seems to me that a logical place to publish a limit would be in the metadata 
of the SPARQL endpoint. Those metadata could contain all limits imposed on the 
endpoint, and perhaps other things like a SLA or a maintenance schedule... data 
that could help in the proper use of the endpoint by both software agents and 
human users.

So perhaps my enquiry really is about a standard for publishing SPARQL endpoint 
metadata, and how to access them.

Greetings,
Frans
