GRASP ("Graph for SharePoint") is the SharePoint solution to create consolidated views, reports and visualizations from heterogeneous data. These so-called information dashboards are tailored views on (multiple) data sources that present the integrated information in a way that is meaningful for business users. An ontology is used to translate non-RDF data sources into semantic data that is hosted by a RDF-store (requires additional software). The integrated data is accessed using the standardized reporting language “SPARQL”. Internal corporate data can be augmented with publicly available data sets (so called Linked Open Data), e.g. geographic information. Smarter access to documents with "Semantic Tags" Semantic tags are intelligent tags that contain more information than normal SharePoint metadata. For example you can associate the Semantic Tag "Project XY" with information about this project that comes from your project management system, like the project volume. This makes it possible for your users to retrieve documents based on the project volume. Documents that use semantic tags can be enriched with additional information from the semantic data contained in a RDF-store.

Semantic Data Integration in SharePoint
With GRASP SharePoint users can create information
dashboards that integrate information from
heterogeneous data sources.
Benefits :
1. Reduce the time to aggregate information from
different company sources.
2. Get a better overview of important data in easy
to grasp visualizations.
3. Create custom reports in minutes.
4. Get more out of internal company data by
linking it with external public data.

Semantic Data Integration in SharePoint
Features:
1. Integration of multiple data sources into a single
view
2. Integrated data is accessed using a
standardized reporting language ("SPARQL")
3. Translation of non-RDF data sources by means of
an ontology into semantic data (requires
additional softare)
4. Visualization of query results in various formats
5. Enrich SharePoint document metadata with
Linked Data
6. Create intelligent document filters based on
Linked Data

Different Visualizations
SPARQL queries can return
numeric data. Different
diagram types are
available for displaying this
kind data, e.g.
• Line diagrams
• Pie charts
• Bar charts

Dashboards
By combining different web-
parts, users can create
Dashboards for specific
needs, e.g.
1. A tree view for selecting
terms from a terminology
(in this case representing
geographic areas)
2. A map displaying
locations, that are the
result of a SPARQL query,
which is parameterized by
the selected term.
3. A tabular presentation of
the details of the locations.
This, again, is the result of a
SPARQL query.

Enrichment of SharePoint Data with Semantic Data
• Dashboards can also combine
data retrieved from a SPARQL
query with the content within
SharePoint
• E.g. a document list can be
created displaying all documents
tagged with a certain term and
the SPQARL query can retrieve
the definition of these terms

Semantic tags
• The document list can also be filtered
based on semantic data that does not
exist within SharePoint but only as
semantic data
• Documents are tagged with enzymes.
• The list contains documents that are
tagged with enzymes that have
magnesium as cofactor.
• This information is fetched from a
SPARQL endpoint.

Data × Visualizations
• GRASP can access different kinds of data sources
• GRASP provides various means for visualization
query results
• Data sources and visualizations can be freely
combined
• A single query can request data from multiple
data sources
• On a single SharePoint page multiple visualizations
can be connected to form an information
dashboard
