ROCKER: A Refinement Operator for Key Discovery

Demo

A demo of ROCKER for Data Quality is running at http://rocker.aksw.org. It offers a web interface with accessible APIs. For computations on large datasets, please follow the guide below.

Run from terminal

First, download the full jar package, which also contains all required dependencies. Datasets are available here:

OAEI Benchmark 2011 (artificial data)

• OAEI_2011_Restaurant_1.nt.gz
• OAEI_2011_Restaurant_2.nt.gz

DBpedia 3.9 (real data)

• album.nt.gz
• animal.nt.gz
• architecturalStruture.nt.gz
• artist.nt.gz
• careerstation.nt.gz
• musicalWork.nt.gz
• organisationMember.nt.gz
• personFunction.nt.gz
• soccerplayer.nt.gz
• village.nt.gz

To run ROCKER:

java -Xmx8g -jar rocker-1.2.1-full.jar <dataset name> <dataset path with protocol> <class name> <find one key> <fast search> <alpha threshold>

Example:

java -Xmx8g -jar rocker-1.2.1-full.jar "restaurant_1" "file:///home/rocker/OAEI_2011_Restaurant_1.nt" "http://www.okkam.org/ontology_restaurant1.owl#Restaurant" false true 1.0

We recommend to run your experiments on a machine with at least 8 GB of RAM.

Basic usage

Rocker r = null;
r = new Rocker("restaurant_1", "file:///home/rocker/OAEI_2011_Restaurant_1.nt",
        "http://www.okkam.org/ontology_restaurant1.owl#Restaurant", false, true, 1.0);
r.run();
Set<CandidateNode> results = r.getKeys();
