• Title: OBA: An Ontology-Based Framework for Creating REST APIs for Knowledge Graphs
• Authors: Daniel Garijo and Maximiliano Osorio
• Abstract summary: Ontology engineers, who populate and create knowledge graphs, and web developers need to understand, access and query these knowledge graphs but are not familiar with APIs, RDF or SPARQL. In this paper we describe the Ontology-Based API framework (OBA) to automatically create REST APIs from familiar web developers. We showcase OBA with three examples that illustrate the capabilities of the framework.

• Abstract: In recent years, Semantic Web technologies have been increasingly adopted by researchers, industry and public institutions to describe and link data on the Web, create web annotations and consume large knowledge graphs like Wikidata and DBPedia. However, there is still a knowledge gap between ontology engineers, who design, populate and create knowledge graphs; and web developers, who need to understand, access and query these knowledge graphs but are not familiar with ontologies, RDF or SPARQL. In this paper we describe the Ontology-Based APIs framework (OBA), our approach to automatically create REST APIs from ontologies while following RESTful API best practices. Given an ontology (or ontology network) OBA uses standard technologies familiar to web developers (OpenAPI Specification, JSON) and combines them with W3C standards (OWL, JSON-LD frames and SPARQL) to create maintainable APIs with documentation, units tests, automated validation of resources and clients (in Python, Javascript, etc.) for non Semantic Web experts to access the contents of a target knowledge graph. We showcase OBA with three examples that illustrate the capabilities of the framework for different ontologies.

  Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are essential tools for social work researchers aiming to harness advanced technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI services. This paper demystifies APIs and illustrates how they can enhance research methodologies. Practical code examples demonstrate how LLMs can generate API code for accessing specialized services, such as extracting data from unstructured text.

  This paper describes the KnowledgeHub tool, a scientific literature Information Extraction (IE) and Question Answering (QA) pipeline. This is achieved by supporting the ingestion of PDF documents that are converted to text and structured representations. A browser-based annotation tool enables annotating the contents of the PDF documents according to the ontology. A knowledge graph is constructed from these entity and relation triples which can be queried to obtain insights from the data.

  We propose a set of behavioural properties, common to REST APIs, which are used to generate examples of behaviours that these APIs exhibit. These examples can be used both (i) to further the understanding of the API and (ii) as a source of automatic test cases. Our approach can generate examples deemed relevant for understanding the system and for a source of test generation by practitioners.

We show that our Unified Data and Text QA, UDT-QA, can effectively benefit from the expanded knowledge index, leading to large gains over text-only baselines.
