Use Case: Invoking a VisKo Plan

What is first

VisKo accepts queries, creates a visualization plan, and invokes it by composing web services.

What we will cover

I want to mock this example up in full detail so that we can trace the RDF fragments through the pipeline. From the DataFAQs perspective, http://www.adobetutorialz.com/content_images/AdobeTechnologies/PostScript/manylines.ps is a dcat:Dataset that we're trying to evaluate with services https://raw.github.com/nicholasdelrio/visko/master/rdf/pdf-to-png.owl#pdf-to-png-as-sadi and https://raw.github.com/nicholasdelrio/visko/master/rdf/ps2pdf.owl#ps2pdfService-as-sadi, but I need to add the functionality to grab the output of the former and feed into the input of the latter. Once that's done, we'll have invoked a visko query plan, captured provenance of the invocation (including the original plan), and offered up the results in VoID, SD, and PROV linked data glory.

How to use DataFAQs to implement the VisKo query submission and invocation. This will lead to some new features of DataFAQs.

Let's get to it!

Nick's planner accepts "visko-query:QueryPlanRequest" and returns a "visko-query:QueryPlan" containing a service composition chain to achieve the requested visualization.

visko-planner.py is a FAqT Selector Service that accepts "VisKo queries" and returns a service composition plan to achieve the requested visualization.
