VIVO can configured to use a different triple store for the bulk of its semantic data, so long as this triple store supports Web-based use of the SPARQL language to query and modify its data. If you elect to use a separate triple store, note that VIVO's MySQL database is still required for basic configuration and user account data. In order to connect VIVO to an external triple store, you will need to know two URIs: the store's endpoint URI for issuing SPARQL queries that read data, and its URI for issuing SPARQL UPDATE commands. These URIs are typically kept separate in order to make it easier to secure the triple store against unauthorized edits. With Sesame, for example, the update URI is usually the query endpoint URI with "/statements" appended. You will need to know these two URIs later when you specify runtime properties.
Specify the maximum number of active connections in the database connection pool to support the anticipated number of concurrent page requests. It is not necessary to adjust this value when using the RDB configuration. | |
VitroConnection.DataSource.pool.maxActive | 40 |
Specify the maximum number of database connections that will be allowed to remain idle in the connection pool. Default is 25% of the maximum number of active connections. | |
VitroConnection.DataSource.pool.maxIdle | 10 |
Change the dbtype setting to use a database other than MySQL. Otherwise, leave this value unchanged. Possible values are DB2, derby, HSQLDB, H2, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLServer. Refer to http://openjena.org/wiki/SDB/Databases_Supported for additional information. | |
VitroConnection.DataSource.dbtype | MySQL |
Specify a driver class name to use a database other than MySQL. Otherwise, leave this value unchanged. This JAR file for this driver must be added to the the webapp/lib directory within the vitro.core.dir specified above. | |
VitroConnection.DataSource.driver | com.mysql.jdbc.Driver |
Change the validation query used to test database connections only if necessary to use a database other than MySQL. Otherwise, leave this value unchanged. | |
VitroConnection.DataSource.validationQuery | SELECT 1 |
Set the endpointURI only if you wish to store semantic data in an external triple store instead of MySQL. Enter the URI of the triple store's SPARQL endpoint for querying data. | |
VitroConnection.DataSource.endpointURI | |
Set the updateEndpointURI only if you wish to store semantic data in an external triple store instead of MySQL. Enter the URI at which the triple store responds to SPARQL UPDATE requests. This setting is only necessary if the triple store does not support updates via its main URI. If the endpointURI above is not set, this setting has no effect. | |
VitroConnection.DataSource.updateEndpointURI |
