Tractus-X Knowledge Agents Sparql-To-AAS Bridge (KA-AAS-SPARQL)

The AAS-Bridge exposes information from the Knowledge Graph via the APIs of the Asset Administration Shell. It builds upon the FAAAST Framework and the AAS4J-Transformation-Library.

Configuration

By default, the AAS-Bridge scans for "domain" folders (see e.g. the traceability domain) in the "resources" directory in which the AAS-Bridge Java Application has been started (which is "/app" in case of the provided docker image see below)

Domain Folders in the Resource Directory

Each domain describes a set of equally structured digital twins (in above example these are serialized parts along the Catena-X Ontology and its Traceability Semantic Models). All twins of a domain are hosted in the same graph and they share the same set of submodels. We require that the domain id (folder name) coincides to the first part of all asset and submodel ids (separated via "/").

Mapping Configuration

The structure (shell) of such a twin as well as the submodels are each described by a mapping configuration which is backed by a set of files which share a common prefix and end with a suffix which describes their role.

A mapping configuration (for the sample the "partAsPlanned" submodel) consists of three files:

  • An Unbound Query select-all.rq is a non-parameterized SPARQL query that when executed against the graph will generated a dataset of part information for all parts appearing in the graph.
  • A Bound Query select-some.rq is a parameterized SPARQL query that will be given an argument ("%s") which will be formatted with the set of IRI literals coinciding to the IDs of the selected twins/parts.
  • A Mapping Specification mapping.xslt that hosts a XML stylesheet template which transforms the SPARQL result sets of above queries into an temporary AAS4J environment following this AAS XML Schema. This environment will be used to answer the respective endpoint query against the AAS server. After the query, the environment will be freed from memory, again.

Each mapping configuration (mapping.xslt) will introduce the namespace "semanticId". If the "semanticId" is "https://w3id.org/catenax/ontology/aas#", then the mapping configuration will be used to build AssetAdministationShells (the actual twin "headers"). Otherwise, the "semanticId" will be used to identifiy the respective submodel (and will be referred to in the Shell mapping.xslt, the Shell select-all.rq and Shell select-some.rq)

Mapping Specification

The AAS-Bridge makes a couple of assumptions about the content of the MappingSpecification:

  1. The xsl:stylesheet namespaces AND the xsl:variable section both hold the semanticId of the Submodel that is to be transformed
  2. IDs of submodel-instances must always start with the domain id (tracability/) followed by the semanticId of the submodel (/urn:bamm:io.catenax.part_as_planned:1.0.1#PartAsPlanned) and the identifier of the asset ("/urn:uuid:0733946c-59c6-41ae-9570-cb43a6e4c79e" - all separated by "/"). How this can be achieved via a template function is demonstrated in the examples' under xsl:template name="genSubmodelId".
  3. The function AasUtils.loadConfigsFromResources() will search the AAS-Bridge's working directory "resources" folder for a set of the necessary data. The folder- and naming-convention must be adhered to strictly.

Connection to the Knowledge Graph

Currently, AAS-Bridge only supports a single endpoint which is configured by environment variables

  • PROVIDER_SPARQL_ENDPOINT - URL pointing to the SPARQL endpoint
  • PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_BASIC - the value that will be set into the "Authorization" header of outgoing SPARQL requests.

Building

You could invoke the following command to compile and test the Sparql-To-AAS bridge

mvn -s ../../../settings.xml install

Deployment & Usage

Containerizing

You could invoke the following command to build the Sparql-To-AAS bridge

mvn -s ../../../settings.xml install -Pwith-docker-image

Alternatively, after a sucessful build the docker image of the Sparql-To-AAS bridge is created using

docker build -t tractusx/aas-bridge:1.14.23-SNAPSHOT -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile .

To run the docker image against a local knowledge graph, you could invoke this command

docker run -p 8443:8443 \
  -v $(pwd)/resources:/app/resources \
  -e "PROVIDER_SPARQL_ENDPOINT=http://oem-provider-agent:8082/sparql" \
  -e "PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_BASIC=Basic Zm9vOg==" \
  tractusx/aas-bridge:1.14.23-SNAPSHOT

Afterwards, you should be able to access the local AAS endpoint via REST

curl --request GET 'https://localhost:8443/api/v3.0/description'
