Your Big Data Challenge

How do you apply existing investments in ODBC-compliant applications to contemporary Big

Data Challenges?

Massive Linked Open Data Cloud

What Does The Virtuoso ODBC Driver Offer?

An ODBC Driver that treats Big Data on the Web (or elsewhere) like any another ODBC accessible

RDBMS!

How Do I Get Going?

Download, install, and experience the power of coherent integration of disparate data sources, data access protocols, and data representation formats.

In an nutshell, commence exploitation of powerful business intelligence, socially enhanced collaboration, data virtualization, and entity analytics without writing a line of code!

Turn "Big Data" into exploitable "Smart Data" without compromise!

How Does Virtuoso Expose LOD Cloud Data To ODBC Clients?

Creation of ODBC accessible SQL Views using SPASQL (SPARQL inside SQL) that targets local data

Ditto via SPARQL-FED (Federated SPARQL) for external SPARQL endpoints.

Example instances include:

DBpedia (Linked Data version of Wikipedia content and LOD Cloud nexus)

URIBurner Service for “on the fly” transformation of data from: LinkedIn, Facebook,

Twitter, Google+, Freebase, Disqus etc.

Live Linked Open Data LOD Cloud Cache.
