<article class="flex-column me-lg-4">
<p>The <code>arq</code> package contains some command line applications to run
queries, parse queries, process result sets and run test sets.</p>
<p>You will need to set the classpath, or use the helper scripts, to
run these applications from the command line. The helper scripts
are in <code>bin/</code> (Linux, Unix, Cygwin, OS/X) and <code>bat/</code> (Windows)
directories. There are ancillary scripts in the directories that
the main commands need - see <a href="../tools/index.html">the tools page</a>
for setup details.</p>
<p>The commands look for file <code>log4j2.properties</code> in the current directory, as well
as the usual log4j2 initialization with property <code>log4j.configurationFile</code> and
looking for classpath resource <code>log4j2.properties</code>; there is a default setup of
log4j2 built-in.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a href="#arqquery"><code>arq.query</code></a> is the main query driver.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#arqqparse"><code>arq.qparse</code></a> : parse and print a
SPARQL query.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#arquparse"><code>arq.uparse</code></a> : parse and print a
SPARQL update.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#arqupdate"><code>arq.update</code></a> : execute SPARQL/Update
requests.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#arqremote"><code>arq.remote</code></a> : execute a query by
HTTP on a remote SPARQL endpoint.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#arqrset"><code>arq.rset</code></a> : transform result sets.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#arqqexpr"><code>arq.qexpr</code></a> : evaluate and print an
expression.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>All commands have a <code>--help</code> command for a summary of the
arguments.</p>
<p>When using a query in a file, if the query file ends .rq, it is
assumed to be a SPARQL query. If it ends .arq, it is assumed to be
an ARQ query (extensions to SPARQL). You can specify the syntax
explicitly.</p>
<h3 id="arqquery"><code>arq.query</code></h3>
<p>This is the main command for executing queries on data. The
wrappers just set the query language.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>arq.sparql</code> : wrapper for SPARQL queries</li>
<li><code>arq.arq</code> : wrapper for ARQ queries</li>
</ul>
<p>Running <code>arq.query --help</code> prints the usage message. The main
arguments are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--query FILE</code> : The file with the query to execute</li>
<li><code>--data FILE</code> : The data to query. It will be included in the
default graph.</li>
<li><code>--namedgraph FILE</code> : The data to query. It will be included as
a named graph.</li>
<li><code>--desc/--dataset</code>:
<a href="../assembler/">Jena Assembler description</a> of the
dataset to be queried, augmented with vocabulary for datasets, not
just graphs. See <code>etc/</code> for examples.</li>
</ul>
<p>The file extension is used to guess the file serialization format.
If a data file ends <code>.n3</code>, it is assumed to be N3; if it ends
<code>.ttl</code> is Turtle; if it is <code>.nt</code> is N-Triples; otherwise it is
assumed to be RDF/XML. The data serialization can be explicitly
specified on the command line.</p>
<h3 id="arqqparse"><code>arq.qparse</code></h3>
<p>Parse a query and print it out.</p>
<p><code>arq.qparse</code> will parse the query, print it out again (with line
numbers by default) and then parse the serialized query again. If
your query has a syntax error, a message is printed but no query is
printed. If a query is printed then you get a syntax error message,
then your query was syntactically correct but the ARQ serialization
is broken. Please report this.</p>
<p>The command <code>arq.qparse --print=op --file &lt;i&gt;queryFile&lt;/i&gt;</code>will
print the SPARQL algebra for the query in
<a href="../notes/sse.html">SSE format</a>.</p>
<h3 id="arquparse"><code>arq.uparse</code></h3>
<p>Parse a SPARQL update and print it out.</p>
<p><code>arq.uparse</code> will parse the update, print it out again (with line
numbers by default) and then parse the serialized update again. If
your update has a syntax error, a message is printed but no update is
printed. If a update is printed then you get a syntax error message,
then your query was syntactically correct but the ARQ serialization
is broken. Please report this.</p>
<h3 id="arqupdate"><code>arq.update</code></h3>
<p>Execute <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-update/">SPARQL Update</a>
requests.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--desc</code>:
<a href="../assembler/">Jena Assembler description</a> of the
dataset or graph store to be updated. See <code>etc/</code> for examples.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="arqrset"><code>arq.rset</code></h3>
<p>Read and write result sets.</p>
<p>In particular,</p>
<pre><code>java -cp ... arq.rset --in xml --out text
</code></pre>
<p>will translate a SPARQL XML Result Set into a tabular text form.</p>
<h3 id="arqqexpr"><code>arq.qexpr</code></h3>
<p>Read and print an expression (something that can go in a <code>FILTER</code>
clause). Indicates whether an evaluation exception occurred.</p>
<p>The <code>-v</code> argument prints the parsed expression.</p>
<h3 id="arqremote"><code>arq.remote</code></h3>
<p>Execute a request on a remote SPARQL endpoint using HTTP.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>--service URL</code> : The endpoint.</li>
<li><code>--data FILE</code> : Dataset description (default graph) added to
the request.</li>
<li><code>--namedgraph FILE</code> : Dataset description (named graph) added
to the request.</li>
<li><code>--results FORMAT</code> : Write results in specified format. Does
not change the request to the server which is always for an XML
form.</li>
</ul>
