D.1 Creating an MDSYS-owned Semantic Network

You can create an MDSYS-owned semantic network using a SQL based interface such as SQL Developer, SQLPLUS, or from a Java program using JDBC.

1. Connect to Oracle Database as a SYSTEM user with a DBA privilege.

   CONNECT system/<password-for-system-user>

2. Create a tablespace for storing the RDF graphs. Use a suitable operating system folder and filename.

   CREATE TABLESPACE rdftbs 
     DATAFILE 'rdftbs.dat'
     SIZE 128M REUSE 
     AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 64M
     MAXSIZE UNLIMITED 
     SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;

3. Grant quota on rdftbs to MDSYS.

   ALTER USER MDSYS QUOTA UNLIMITED ON rdftbs;

4. Create a tablespace for storing the user data. Use a suitable operating system folder and filename.

   CREATE TABLESPACE usertbs 
     DATAFILE 'usertbs.dat'
     SIZE 128M REUSE 
     AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 64M
     MAXSIZE UNLIMITED 
     SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;

5. Create a database user to create or use RDF graphs or do both using the adapter.

   CREATE USER rdfuser 
   IDENTIFIED BY <password-for-rdfuser>
   DEFAULT TABLESPACE usertbs
   QUOTA 5G ON usertbs;

6. Grant quota on rdftbs to RDFUSER.

   ALTER USER RDFUSER QUOTA 5G ON rdftbs;

7. Grant the necessary privileges to the new database user.

   GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO rdfuser;

8. Create an MDSYS-owned semantic network.

   EXECUTE SEM_APIS.CREATE_SEM_NETWORK(tablespace_name =>'rdftbs');

9. Verify that MDSYS-owned semantic network has been created successfully.

   SELECT table_name 
     FROM sys.all_tables 
     WHERE table_name = 'RDF_VALUE$' AND owner='MDSYS';

   Presence of RDF_VALUE$ table in the MDSYS schema shows that the MDSYS-owned semantic network has been created successfully.

   TABLE_NAME
   -----------
   RDF_VALUE$
