Excerpt

The SparqlIndexer listens to the repository generated JMS events and index records to a triplestore like Fuseki, Sesame etc. It implements the org.fcrepo.indexer.Indexer interface for the indexing functionalities, which consists of the methods to handle new/updated records and deleted records.

Once the SparqlIndexer configured to index the records to the triplestore, we can use the triplestore to perform external SPARQL searchings for with SPARQL Recipes.

Info

The triplestore need to be started before running the message consumer web app. Please follow the instructions to setup the triplestore.

Configuration

The SparqlIndexer is configured using Spring that can be done using Java bean setter methods.  Here is a sample configuration fragment showing how to configure and use it:
