The Apache Jena SDB module has been retired and is no longer supported.
The last release of Jena with this module was Apache Jena 3.17.0.
Assembler descriptions for RDF Datasets and individual models are built from Store Descriptions. A dataset assembler just points to the store to use; a model assembler points to the store and identifies the model within the store to use (or use the default model).
Datasets
The example below creates an in-memory store implemented by HSQLDB.
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
PREFIX ja: <http://jena.hpl.hp.com/2005/11/Assembler#>
PREFIX sdb: <http://jena.hpl.hp.com/2007/sdb#>
sdb:DatasetStore rdfs:subClassOf ja:RDFDataset .
<#dataset> rdf:type sdb:DatasetStore ;
sdb:store <#store> .
<#store> rdf:type sdb:Store ;
...
.
A dataset description for SDB is identical to a store description,
except the rdf:type is sdb:DatasetStore. A different kind of
Java object is created.
Models
To assemble a particular model in a store, especially to work with at the API level rather than at the query level, the following can be added to an assembler description:
# Default graph
<#myModel1> rdf:type sdb:Model ;
sdb:dataset <#dataset> .
# Named graph
<#myModel2> rdf:type sdb:Model ;
sdb:namedGraph data:graph1 ;
sdb:dataset <#dataset> .
There can several model descriptions in the same file, referring to the same SDB dataset, or to different ones. The Jena assembler interface enables different items to be picked out.
Note that creating a general (ARQ) dataset from models/graph inside an SDB store is not the same as using a dataset which is the query interface to the store. It is the dataset for the store that triggers full SPARQL to SQL translation, not a model.
