Your Big Data Challenge
How do you apply existing
investments in ODBC-compliant
applications to contemporary Big
Data Challenges?

Massive Linked Open Data Cloud

What Does The Virtuoso ODBC Driver
Offer?
An ODBC Driver that treats Big Data
on the Web (or elsewhere) like
any another ODBC accessible
RDBMS!

How Do I Get Going?
 Download, install, and experience the power of coherent
integration of disparate data sources, data access protocols,
and data representation formats.
 In an nutshell, commence exploitation of powerful business
intelligence, socially enhanced collaboration, data
virtualization, and entity analytics without writing a line of code!
 Turn "Big Data" into exploitable "Smart Data"
without compromise!

How Does Virtuoso Expose LOD Cloud
Data To ODBC Clients?
 Creation of ODBC accessible SQL Views using
SPASQL (SPARQL inside SQL) that targets local
data
 Ditto via SPARQL-FED (Federated SPARQL) for
external SPARQL endpoints.
Example instances include:
 DBpedia (Linked Data version of Wikipedia content and LOD Cloud nexus)
 URIBurner Service for “on the fly” transformation of data from: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Freebase, Disqus etc.
 Live Linked Open Data LOD Cloud Cache.

ODBC + Linked Open Data Benefits?
Achieve the following using existing ODBC
compliant applications/services:
Access & Integrate Data from the World Wide Web by
treating it as just another RDBMS
Use Hyperlink based Super Keys as a powerful data de-
silo-fication mechanism re., data, information, and
knowledge sharing
Discover Insights without depending solely on the content
of local databases.
