SPARQL 1.1

The future of SPARQL is 1.1 which is almost a Standard. There are several new Features that concern the Query and different Features as SPARQL will become a fully-fledged Data Manipulation Language with the SPARQL Update Function. Thus, in future with SPARQL 1.1 one can not only Query Data but one can also manipulate and update RDF Data. On the other hand SPARQL 1.1 enables Entailment for RDF(S), OWL and RIF (the Rule Interchange Format). This means there will be Logical inference Mechanisms and Logical Connections as well as Correlation that will be taken into account when answering a SPARQL Query.

• SPARQL 1.1 Query:
  • Assignments (e.g. BIND, SELECT expressions)
  • Aggregation functions (e.g. COUNT, SUM, AVG, GROUP BY)
  • Subqueries
  • Negation (EXISTS, NOT EXISTS, MINUS)
  • Property paths
  • Basic Query Federation (SERVICE, BINDINGS)
• SPARQL 1.1 Update:
  • Graph update (INSERT DATA, DELETE DATA, INSERT, DELETE, DELETE WHERE, LOAD, CLEAR)
  • Graph management (CREATE, DROP, COPY, MOVE, ADD)
• SPARQL 1.1 Entailment for RDF, RDFS, OWL, RIF
• SPARQL 1.1 Service Descriptions
