OWL support in Oracle Spatial

I have an OWL ontology(fully validated and created using Protege) that I would like to store into Oracle Spatial RDF. In addition, I currently running Oracle 10g.
Does Oracle currently support this capability? If so, what are procedures, is there documentation that describes the procedures and the capability, and what version of Oracle support this capability (OWL)?
Thank you in advance

There is no support for OWL at this time. Oracle 10gR2 only supports
RDF.
This is planned for an upcoming release of Oracle DB.

  • Does Oracle Lite support Oracle Spatial

    Does anybody know whether Oracle Lite or Personal Oracle supports the Oracle Spatial plug-in. Also, for extra credit does anybody know what the difference between Personal Oracle and Oracle Lite is?
    We will be needing to provide some attribute and spatial data from our Oracle Enterprise database to several laptops for field personnel using an electronic map we developed. We would like to use a portable version of Oracle that supports Oracle Spatial objects.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dan

    oh, I didn't realize it was so limited. No, that won't do. We're looking for a "mini" version of the real production database including stored code, triggers etc. Should be scaled down enough to allow rapid syncing of data and schema changes from the production (or really QA) database, but full enough to include the objects necessary to allow the developers to test their code changes to the front end applicaiton on their own environment.

  • Is Oracle Spatial, Mapbuilder and Mapviewer supports TTF(True Type Fonts)

    Hi to all,
    Is Oracle Spatial, Mapbuilder and Mapviewer Supports TTF,How to load TTF into Oracle Spatial and how to assign TTF to Point Data,
    i think Map Builder had option,but how load using map builder,
    is any Oracle script to load TTF,pl provide help.
    Regards,
    Ramakrishna.V

    You can only use ttf symbols for markers.
    in MapBuilder click on Tools menu, click on Import Truetype font.
    Use the mapbuilder that is part of the latest kit on OTN. It contains some fixes for TTF handling.

  • What countries are supported by the Oracle Spatial Geocoder (10g 2)?

    hi @ all,
    can anybody tell me which countries are supported (especially in east-europe[turkey,georgia,...]) ?
    Denmark
    France
    Germany
    Ireland
    Italy
    Regards,
    greq

    Hi Luc,
    our data supplier deliver us the geodata as shape-files, so we migrate them in 'Oracle Spatial geocoding' tables.
    For some countries (west europe: germany, france,... ) a geocoding-Parser already exists, but not for all countries. We get now some new data from turkey, ukraina, ..., but we don't know if a parser for this countries exists.

  • What time Oracle Spatial Can support text object

    Hi:
    I want know what time oracle spatial can support text object. it is very useful for
    GIS and LBS customer.
    null

    Hi,
    I think it is an interesting idea, but there are difficulties when implementing such objects in the database level. For one thing, the placement, orientation of text for a point geometry is often dependent on point geometries stored in other rows in order to acheive an optimal and non-overlapping placement. It also depends on the font and size of the text, as well as the scale and level of detail when visualizing the spatial data. Such contextual information is only available to an application. I hope I understood you correctly and if you have further comments I would like to hear them too.

  • Can not deploy Oracle Spatial Routing Engine on Oracle Weblogic

    I posted my question with Oracle Support, however they directed me to the oracle forums. I am hoping this problem can be resolved here. In any event I am getting the following stack trace (shown below). I am using Spatial Version 11.2.0.1.0, Map Viewer 11.1.1.5.1, and WebLogic 10.3.5.0, and data-set provided by Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g - Apress boos. I have successful in deploying Map Viewer, Geocoder Server, but not the Routing Server.

  • Loading shapefiles into Oracle Spatial

    Fellow Oracle Spatiallers!
    Currently we edit Oracle Spatial data by checking data out into a shapefile,
    making our changes off-line, and reloading the shapefile back into Oracle.
    Instead of using the Oracle Spatial supplied tool, we decided to purchase
    a utility called the "Spatial Loader" from a company called Geometry Pty Ltd
    (http://www.geometryit.com). There are a number of reasons why we decided to
    go that way which might become evident from the command line parameters of
    this utility:
    Usage: Shp2Spt [Arguments] [Options]
    OR
    Usage: Java com.geometryit.spatialloader.oracle.AdvancedJavaSpatialTranslator [Arguments] [Options]
    [Arguments] must specify these values:
    -o create
    type of operation to perform
    create creates a new table, must not exist already
    recreate creates a new table, may exist already
    init drops existing table, creates a new one
    append appends data onto existing table
    -f <shape_file>
    the shape file or project to translate
    -l <table,column>
    target table and column for the geometry data
    -D <database>
    target database name
    -u <username>
    username for RDBMS
    -p <password>
    password for RDBMS
    [Options] values are not necessarily required:
    -s <server_name>
    name of server with database
    -port <port_number>
    the port to connect to on the server
    -ufi <column_name>
    specify the name of the UFI field (unique ID)
    -seq <sequence_name>
    specify the sequence to use for the spatial data unique IDs
    -a none
    attributes mode
    none no attributes will be transferred
    all all attribtues will be transfered as found
    file= file containing lines of the form:
    <shape_attribute><space/tab><rdbms_column>
    where
    <shape_attribute> selects the column to be output
    <rdbms_column> name of the column in RDBMS
    -srid <id>
    specify the Spatial Reference ID for the spatial data
    (this must be set to use Spatial Reference Transformations)
    -i [<level>] or -i rtree
    create an index for the generated table
    the <level> parameter is an optional integer
    representing the depth of the quadtree created
    if rtree is specified, the index created will be
    an rtree
    -c <commit_interval>
    number of rows to commit after
    -t <tolerance>
    tolerance value for metadata
    -r none
    used to determine number of decimal places to round vertices to
    if you use the tolerance-parameter option, specify the -t parameter before -r
    -igc
    ignore geometry collections
    -sgc
    split geometry collections
    -sgd f
    split geometry direction [forward | reverse]
    -update-metadata <true/false>
    update the Oracle Spatial Metadata table after loading data
    -validate <true/false>
    perform Oracle Spatial validation after loading data
    -v
    verbose mode on
    -h or -?
    display this help message
    The main things I like about this tool are:
    1. One step (no conversion to sqlloader form followed by a call to the sqlloader).
    2. The ability to round the coordinates of the shapes in the shapefile by applying
    the XY tolerance values held in the SDO_GEOM_METADATA table.
    This is quite important because our editing package - due to double/single precision
    issues - can actually move coordinates but those movements are sub the precision of
    the actual data. By rounding to the nominate precision we can detect situations where
    no actual change to the shape (and its attributes) was made and thus not create superfluous
    revisions within the database.
    3. It will correctly re-wind the coordinates of the outer/inner shells of polygons. This is
    important as ESRI shapefiles are agnostic on the winding order: an outer shell coordinates
    can be listed in either clockwise or anti-clockwise order.
    4. You can specify the primary key (UFI) column (numeric) and an Oracle Sequence number such
    that each new shape loaded can have its UFI assigned from that sequence.
    Because of this flexibility, and the excellent support (it is a purchasable product) from the
    developers, I can heartily recommend this loader to fellow Spatiallers. It is worth every
    penny I spent on it. Try the free version on their website and if, like me, you like it,
    purchase it!

    Hi Shuan,
    As part of the zip file created for the next training course to be posted for Oracle Spatial on OTN (within the next few weeks) there is a free (unsupported, undocumented) version of a shape to sdo converter. This should work, but it is unsupported. It will create a layer that then needs to be migrated into 8.1.6 format.
    If you need it quite soon send email to [email protected] and I can get it to you.
    Hope this helps,
    dan

  • Help define the requirements for an Oracle Spatial management tool

    Hi,
    We are developing a tool that, we hope, will be indispensable for all Oracle Spatial and Locator dbas/users. We've released version 1.0, but we need your help to define the requirements for the next version.
    What features would you like to have in a management tool for your spatial databases?
    The features we've got so far:
    1. Viewing of vector data in a map + attributes
    2. Loading from shapefiles
    3. Exporting to shapefiles
    4. Validating metadata, indexes and spatial data.
    We are adding editing of vectors in the next version - basic stuff for add, update and delete.
    But there must be a lot more. What do you find difficult to do in Oracle Spatial/Locator? What would you like in a tool such as this?
    Any feedback either to myself or the forum is much appreciated.
    cheers,
    Andrew
    [email protected]
    PS If you like to have a look at what we have done so far, go to http://www.geometryit.com/products/spatialConsole.php

    Andrew knows what I have asked for but for others to think about and to start
    the ball rolling, here's what they are:
    1. Ability to enter own SQL commands but with PARAMETERS for attributes
    and shapes as in the following examples:
    SELECT ...
    FROM my_spatial_table a
    WHERE a.ATTRIBUTE = :attr
    AND MDSYS.SDO_RELATE(a.shape,:polygon,'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'
    When executed the attribute value is asked for via a input box (data type?)
    and the user is asked to define the SDO_GEOMETRY for the :polgygon parameter via mouse clicks on the screen.
    Similarly, this would work for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE...
    INSERT INTO my_spatial_table (shape) values(:polygon)
    The data type of an attribute parameter could be determined in two ways:
    a) By querying the Oracle catalog;
    b) By using a "PARAMETERS" command before the query as follows
    PARAMETERS name type [(size)] [, name type [(size)] ...]
    The PARAMETERS declaration has these parts:
    name     The name of the parameter.
    type     The type of the parameter.
    size     The size of the parameter in characters or bytes.
    2. When executing an SQL SELECT statement I would like the tool
    to suggest the HINTS that are needed to improve performance.
    3. Following on from 2, I would like to Tick an option that would return the
    EXPLAIN PLAN that the query optimizer used when executing my query.
    4. The tool has to support ALL Oracle's spatial vector data types.
    5. It would be nice to be able to work with GeoRasters. Since Spatial Console
    imports/exports shapefiles why not the same for rasters. However, the problem
    with supporting foreign data formats is WHERE DO YOU STOP!!!!!
    6. You could allow for the styling of the Spatial Console to be stored in the MapViewer catalogs or use the MapViewer catalogs when styling an Sdo_Geometry if it exists (I note that your tool extracts the SDO_METADATA
    why not the MapViewer metadata as well)?
    regards
    S.

    Reengineering Desktop Thick Workgroups into Web
    Rich Enterprise Clients
    Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications
    Jeff Walawender, Senior Software Engineer, L-3 Communications
    Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.

  • Oracle Spatial system requirements

    Hi Experts,
    I have a 32bit window 2003 server with 8G memory (PAE added to *g from 2G) with 4 CPU.
    we use oracle 10GR4 suppour in stream.
    Based on application, I need to install Oracle Spatial ( Actually, I can saw Oracle Spatial object in sysaux tablespace).
    I could not find how many system resource requirement to support Oracle Spatial future.
    ALso How to check Oracle Spatial is installed into system?
    Thanks for HELP!!
    JIM

    You can see what kind of options you have with:
    select * from dba_registry;
    Do you really need Oracle Spatial or just the free subset Oracle Locator?

  • Oracle Spatial for XE 10g / APEX 3.1

    I am working with the "2 Day + Developer's Guide" on my Oracle 10g XE / APEX 3.1 installation. There are the OEHR sample objects... the guide says that I need to install "Oracle Spatial" first:
    "Tip: In order to successfully import the objects associated with the
    OEHR Sample Objects application, your Oracle database must include
    Oracle Spatial. If your database instance does not include Oracle
    Spatial, you can install it using Database Configuration Assistant. To
    learn more, see the Oracle Database Installation Guide for your operating
    environment." (page 27, 3-5)
    Does 10g XE already includes Spatial? I couldn't find it in the Oracle downloads section :-/
    Maybe my installation doesn't have Spatial since I can't install the OEHR sample objects: Problems installing the OEHR sample objects application
    Thanks a lot!

    Does 10g XE already includes Spatial?XE supports only Locator, which is a subset of Spatial.
    The Locator is described in detail here:http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14255/sdo_locator.htm#i632018

  • Acquiring Oracle Spatial Data through WFS

    Hi,
    I have been researching for awhile and am slightly confused.
    I have Oracle Spatial 11g with geometry data and would like to be able to retrieve that data through a WFS to serve to a viewing application.
    Here's where I am confused:
    1) Spatial has a WFS service which needs to be configured. If I were configure that, would I be able to access the data through URL getFeature commands? The documentation I see for them has the getFeature requests in the form of XML files so I am not sure if I can do that. Also it seems like the service is returning .log files but I think I would want GML...
    If this is the option I should take, the tutorial to setup OC4J and the Web Services are for a Linux machine (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/datamgmt/spatialws/spatialws.htm) -- Is there one for Windows 64bit?
    2) Do I need another "application layer" to enable this URL support? I know MapServer can use URL requests.. can I just run this against the data in my DB and forget about the Oracle WFS?
    3) MapViewer seems to work with WFS Themes and handle requests through Java and SQL.. is this another option?
    I am basically confused as to where everything sits and what I should be focusing on to get my Spatial data out of the DB through a WFS. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Any help debugging this issue would be greatly appreciated:
    As per the documentation:
    http://localhost:8888/SpatialWS-SpatialWS-context-root/wfsservlet?request=GetCapabilities&service=wfs&version=1.0.0
    :this get request should return the capabilities info however I receive this error message instead in the browser:
