What is Virtuoso?
Virtuoso is a combined multi-model DBMS and HTTP-based Application Server platform that supports critical open standards for providing applications with loosely-coupled access to disparate data sources. It is cross-platform, high-performance, scalable, and secure. It also includes native reasoning and inference for identity reconciliation and data wrangling across disparate data sources.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an advanced multi-lingual natural language processing technology, facilitated by a large language model (LLM), with an uncanny understanding of sentence syntax and semantics. It can produce responses, in conversational mode, based on user inputs.
How does Virtuoso integrate with Large Language Models (LLMs)?
Virtuoso uses LLMs as a natural language based conversational UI/UX into its modern multi-model data layer comprising structured data represented as tables (n-tuples) or RDF-based entity relationship graphs (3-tuples) which are also generally referred to as Knowledge Graphs. Integration occurs in loosely-coupled fashion, courtesy of Linked Data Principles where hyperlinks functioning as powerful pointers usable for creating data source names from SQL and/or SPARQL query templates for LLM fine-tuning. This capability extends to the following functionality realms: - Reasoning & Inference: Built-in and/or custom reasoning and inference that scales massively for conceptual data analysis, integration, and management - Data Virtualization: Powerful virtual database core that extends its data reach to HTTP-, ODBC-, and JDBC-accessible data source across private and/or public networks. Once attached, this data is harmonized semantically using a variety of mapping techniques based on existing open standards e.g., the RDF-based RDF to Relational Mapping Language commonly referred to as R2RML. - Data Crawling: Unique native ability to crawl data from across a public or private network as part of its query solution production pipeline in very fine-grained form i.e., to the level of query language variables and constants.
What are the benefits of using Virtuoso and ChatGPT together?
Some of the benefits of using Virtuoso and ChatGPT together are: - You can access and integrate data from any source, including web pages, databases, APIs, files, etc. - You can query and explore data using natural language in a manner that's transparently mapped to declarative languages such as SQL and/or SPARQL - You can generate natural language responses that are informative, relevant, and engaging - You can create content such as summaries, reports, articles, etc. based on data - You can crawl a web of documents and/or a semantic web of data en route to discovering new data sources and entity relationship types - You can learn from ChatGPT's suggestions and insights to improve your productivity and knowledge, at levels unrivaled to date.
