'Virtuoso' is a high-performance "universal server," which can act as both a relational database, supporting standard Structured Query Language ('SQL') queries, while also supporting data following the Resource Description Framework ('RDF') model for Linked Data. 'RDF' data can be queried using 'SPARQL' ('SPARQL' Protocol and 'RDF' Query Language) queries, a graph-based query that supports semantic reasoning. This allows users to leverage the performance of local or remote 'Virtuoso' servers using popular 'R' packages such as 'DBI' and 'dplyr', while also providing a high-performance solution for working with large 'RDF' 'triplestores' from 'R.' The package also provides helper routines to install, launch, and manage a 'Virtuoso' server locally on 'Mac', 'Windows' and 'Linux' platforms using the standard interactive installers from the 'R' command-line. By automatically handling these setup steps, the package can make using 'Virtuoso' considerably faster and easier for a most users to deploy in a local environment. Managing the bulk import of triples from common serializations with a single intuitive command is another key feature of this package. Bulk import performance can be tens to hundreds of times faster than the comparable imports using existing 'R' tools, including 'rdflib' and 'redland' packages. authors: - family-names: Boettiger given-names: Carl email: cboettig@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1642-628X repository: https://ropensci.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/ropensci/virtuoso commit: c04a01bc220c841b43c20b3a96193d0ce480499e url: https://github.com/ropensci/virtuoso contact: - family-names: Boettiger given-names: Carl email: cboettig@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1642-628X
