Onboarding or Virtualizing Data with SPARQL Queries

The topics in this section provide information about exploring, analyzing, virtualizing, and ingesting data by writing federated SPARQL queries that invoke the Graph Data Interface (GDI), an AnzoGraph plugin that enables you to connect directly to sources and control all aspects of the extract, load, and transform process. Depending on the type of query you write, you can ingest data into Anzo or create a virtual graph that accesses the source only when it is needed without ingesting the data.

This section focuses on writing your own SPARQL queries to read, ingest, or virtualize data from various sources. The GDI can also be used to automatically generate models, data layers, and steps with ingestion queries that you can edit. For more information about the automated workflow, see Onboarding Data with the Automated Workflow.
