Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for translating a SPARQL query. The system includes: a parser/lexer for parsing the SPARQL query; a hidden negative pattern detector for detecting a hidden negative pattern in the parsed SPARQL query; a hidden negative pattern translator for translating the detected hidden negative pattern into an explicit negative pattern; a separator for separating the explicit negative pattern from a positive pattern in the parsed SPARQL query; a negative pattern translator for translating the explicit negative pattern into a negative portion of an SQL statement; a positive pattern translator for translating the positive pattern into a positive portion of the SQL statement; and an SQL statement combiner for combining the negative portion of the SQL statement with the positive portion of the SQL statement.
