Using the Data Toolkit to Include External Data in a Data Layer

The Anzo Data Toolkit SPARQL service is a flexible tool that enables users to query data from remote endpoints that are accessible over JDBC or HTTP. Using the data toolkit, you can access data that is stored in databases, web servers, or files such as CSV, XML, and JSON files. You can also use the toolkit to invoke other scripts. The data that you retrieve can be incorporated into a data layer to augment the data that is stored in Anzo. This topic provides information about using the data toolkit.

Using the Toolkit in a Data Layer

To invoke the Data Toolkit service in a data layer, add a Query Step to the layer. When writing the query to run in the Query Step, include a SERVICE call that specifies the remote endpoint and defines the data to retrieve from the endpoint. For instructions on creating a Query Step, see Adding a Step that Runs a Query. For details about writing SERVICE statements, see Writing a Service Statement to Access External Data below.
