This Python library helps generating a low-dimensional vector space from very large RDF graphs in a reasonable time. For example it is possible to process large sections of DBpedia on a commodity laptop.

Setting up:

$ apt-get install python-pip python-librdf python-numpy python-scipy python-nose

Installing:

$ python setup.py install
# (You might have to run that twice to get around https://github.com/piskvorky/sparsesvd/pull/4)

Running the tests:

$ nosetests

$ cd examples
$ gunzip influencedby.nt.gz
$ python
>>> import rdfspace
>>> from rdfspace.space import Space
>>> space = Space('influencedby.nt', ignored_predicates=['http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type'], rank=50)
>>> space.similarity('http://dbpedia.org/resource/JavaScript', 'http://dbpedia.org/resource/ECMAScript')
>>> space.similarity('http://dbpedia.org/resource/Albert_Camus', 'http://dbpedia.org/resource/JavaScript')

RDFSpace construct a sparse adjacency matrix from an input RDF file. We perform Singular Value Decomposition on this sparse adjacency matrix to approximate this space, which gives us a lower-dimensional space capturing URI similarities. This space can then be used for a wide range of uses, e.g. automated tagging, disambiguation, etc.
