SHARCS ODRL Example

SHARCS example is a collection of data, rules and validation steps to simulate a data clearing house use-case.

This code is an expansion of the SHARCS example. Instead of writing the policy rules in RDF Surfaces language we use the ODRL2 ontology examples provided by Inès Akaichi.

Requirements

EYE version 4.4.3 or better

Architecture

This experiment contains the core knowledge base data.ttl which can be accessed using RDF Surfaces policies (the .n3s files). These policies are compiled from their Turtle source files:

data_consumer_policy.n3s is compiled version of the Turtle source data_consumer_policy.ttl

ODRL policies can contain zero or more constraints that are checked using a Notation3 constraint checker constraint_checker.n3.

[KnowledgeBase] --> 
  {Compile .ttl policies into .n3s (surfaces)} -->
  {Surface Reasoning with [KnowledgeBase] + [.n3s Policies] + [.q Query]} --> 
  {Notation3 Reasoning with [.n3 Constraints]} -->
  [Output]

In this setup, the RDF Surfaces policies contain only existential rules, executing basic graph pattern queries over the data.

Execution steps

Compile data_consumer_policy.ttl into data_consumer_policy.n3s .
Reason over data.ttl using data_consumer_policy.n3s.

Results in a <urn:odrl-compiler:Result> output with zero or more constraints when all policy conditions are met.

Check if the reasoning ouput <urn:odrl-compiler:Result> satisfies all constraints.

Data Content

data.ttl : a sample instance of the data model
data_consumer_policy.ttl : an ODRL policy for the data consumer
odrl_sharcs_profile.ttl : an ODRL profile for the SHARCS project

Compiler Content

compiler.n3 : an Notation3 ODRL Turtle to RDF Surfaces compiler
util.n3 : a set of Notation3 utility built-ins
constraint_checker.n3 : a Notation3 constraint checker
data_consumer_policy.q : a query surface that defines which result data to expose to the world
data_consumer_policy.n3s : compiled RDF Surfaces of data_consumer_policy.ttl

Scripts
