JBR Experiment - BSBM


A jbr experiment type for the Berlin SPARQL Benchmark (BSBM).

Requirements

* Node.js _(1.12 or higher)_
* Docker _(required for invoking WatDiv Docker)_
* jbr _(required for initializing, preparing, and running experiments on the command line)_

Quick start

$3

jbr is a command line tool that enables experiments to be initialized, prepared, and started.
It can be installed from the npm registry:

``bash
$ npm install -g jbr
`
or
`bash
$ yarn global add jbr
`

$3

Using the jbr CLI tool, initialize a new experiment:

`bash
$ jbr init watdiv my-experiment
$ cd my-experiment
`

This will create a new my-experiment directory with default configs for this experiment type.

$3

This experiment type requires you to configure a certain SPARQL endpoint to send queries to for the hookSparqlEndpoint.
A value for this hook can be set as follows, such as sparql-endpoint-comunica:

`bash
$ jbr set-hook hookSparqlEndpoint sparql-endpoint-comunica
`

$3

In order to run all preprocessing steps, such as creating all required datasets, invoke the prepare step:

`bash
$ jbr prepare
`

All prepared files will be contained in the generated/ directory:
`text
generated/
dataset.hdt
dataset.hdt.index.v1-1
dataset.nt
td_data/
`

$3

Once the experiment has been fully configured and prepared, you can run it:

`bash
$ jbr run
`

Once the run step completes, results will be present in the output/ directory.

Output

The following output is generated after an experiment has run.

output/bsbm.xml:

Configuration

The default generated configuration file (jbr-experiment.json) for this experiment looks as follows:

`json
{
"@context": [
"https://linkedsoftwaredependencies.org/bundles/npm/jbr/^5.0.0/components/context.jsonld",
"https://linkedsoftwaredependencies.org/bundles/npm/@jbr-experiment/bsbm/^5.0.0/components/context.jsonld"
],
"@id": "urn:jrb:test-bsbm",
"@type": "ExperimentBsbm",
"productCount": 1000,
"generateHdt": true,
"endpointUrl": "http://localhost:3001/sparql",
"endpointUrlExternal": "http://localhost:3001/sparql",
"warmupRuns": 5,
"runs": 50,
"hookSparqlEndpoint": {
"@id": "urn:jrb:test-watdiv:hookSparqlEndpoint",
"@type": "HookNonConfigured"
}
}
`

Any config changes require re-running the prepare step.

More background information on these config options can be found in the README of WatDiv Docker.

$3

* productCount: The number of products in the dataset. 91 products make about 50K triples. Defaults to 1000.
* generateHdt: If a dataset.hdt should also be generated.
* endpointUrl: URL through which the SPARQL endpoint of the hookSparqlEndpoint hook will be exposed from within the Docker container. When the endpoint is hosted on your main machine outside of Docker, this will be something like http://host.docker.internal:3001/sparql.
* endpointUrlExternal: URL through which the SPARQL endpoint of the hookSparqlEndpoint hook will be exposed. This will be used for waiting until the endpoint is available.
* warmupRuns: Number of warmup runs.
* runs`: Number of actual query runs.
