Use RDF Wizard to Create an RDF Graph Collection

You can create an RDF graph collection, with one or more existing graphs, using the RDF wizard feature in Graph Studio.

Optionally, you can perform inferencing by applying a rulebase to the graph collection.

Therefore, an RDF graph collection is a virtual combination of one or more RDF graphs. Additionally, it may include entailments when a rulebase is used.

To create an RDF graph collection, perform the following steps in the RDF wizard:

1. Enter the name for the RDF graph collection in the General step as shown:

2. Optionally, switch the Overwrite toggle to overwrite an existing graph collection, if you have provided an existing graph collection name in the preceding step.
3. Click Next to go to the Graphs step.

4. Select one or more RDF graphs under RDF Graphs Selection.
5. Click Next to go to the Rulebases step.

6. Optionally, if you want to perform inferencing operation, then select Select a rulebase and select the required Rulebase for the graph collection. Otherwise, you can skip this step.
7. Click Next to view the Summary of the parameters selected for creating an RDF graph collection.

   If you have selected rulebases, then Graph Studio validates if an entailment for the selected RDF graphs and rulebases in the collection already exists. If there is no valid entailment, then a new one is created. As creating a new entailment is a long running process, an appropriate warning is displayed when creating a new entailment.

8. Click Create.
   The job to create an RDF graph collection is initiated on the Jobs page. On successful completion of the job, the newly created RDF graph collection is listed on the Graphs page in the RDF Graph tab.
