Abstract

A common way for exposing RDF data on the Web is by means of
SPARQL endpoints which allow end users and applications to query just the
RDF data they want. However, servers hosting SPARQL endpoints often restrict
access to the data by limiting the amount of results returned per query or the
amount of queries per time that a client may issue. As this may affect query
completeness when using SPARQL1.1's federated query extension, we analysed
different strategies to implement federated queries with the goal to circumvent
endpoint limits. We show that some seemingly intuitive methods for decomposing
federated queries provide unsound results in the general case, and provide
fixes or discuss under which restrictions these recipes are still applicable. Finally,
we evaluate the proposed strategies for checking their feasibility in practice.
