Connecting Elixir to RDF Graph Databases with SPARQL

The semantic web and graph databases offer a powerful way to model complex, interconnected data, but integrating these technologies with modern application backends can seem daunting. This text-based course guides you through the process of bridging Elixir's concurrent ecosystem with RDF graph databases. You will learn how to initialize an Elixir project, configure it to communicate with external triple stores, and write robust SPARQL queries to retrieve and manipulate semantic data. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of RDF, triples, and semantic graph databases. - Configure a new Elixir project from scratch using Mix and modern dependency management. - Establish secure and reliable connections to external SPARQL endpoints. - Write and execute SPARQL queries directly from your Elixir codebase. - Parse and map graph database responses into idiomatic Elixir data structures. - Apply modern Elixir error-handling patterns to manage network and query failures gracefully. The course begins with foundational definitions of RDF and graph concepts before moving into step-by-step text tutorials. You will read clear explanations, study structured code examples, and practice configuring and querying graph databases on your own. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate Elixir developers who want to explore semantic web technologies. No prior experience with graph databases or SPARQL is required, though a basic familiarity with Elixir syntax is helpful. Start building semantic-enabled Elixir applications today.
