In most cases, a remote repository can be made operational also locally by [running a localhost](/vlft/kb/instantiation/datarepo/local.md#localhost). ## RDF store Commercial and non-commercial RDF stores, also named Triplestores, are available, e.g. Stardog, Apache Jena Fuseki, Virtuoso. RDF stores are typically structured into Datasets/Databases. #### Apache Jena Fuseki [Apache Jena Fuseki](https://jena.apache.org/documentation/fuseki2/) is a SPARQL server that can run as an operating system service, as a Java web application (WAR file), or as a standalone server. After downloading and unzipping [Apache Jena Fuseki .zip file](https://jena.apache.org/download/), the simplest way to run Fuseki as a Standalone Server by executing `fuseki-server` from the command prompt (or launching `fuseki-server.bat` in Windows). The default location of a Fuseki server installation is A demo Fuseki SPARQL Endpoint with a Dataset named "VLFT" is available [here](https://difactory.github.io/DF/tools/fuseki.html). ## Online repository for binary/text files [GitHub ](https://github.com/)repositories can be exploited to store binary files (e.g. [3D models](/vlft/kb/instantiation/3d-models.md), [animation sequences](/vlft/kb/instantiation/animations.md#animation-sequence)) and make them available via secure HTTP connections. 1. After your [GitHub registration](https://github.com/join), you can [create a new repository](https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/create-a-repo) as "Public". 2. Upload binary files to the repository ("Add file", "Upload files") and "Commit changes", creating the repository directories that you prefer. A couple of examples: * repository with file [2.0/WaterBottle/glTF-Binary/WaterBottle.glb](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models/blob/master/2.0/WaterBottle/glTF-Binary/WaterBottle.glb) * repository with file [example\_1.json](https://github.com/difactory/repository/blob/main/scenes/ex/example_1.json) #### Option 1 Each file in the repository can be directly retrieved with a URL structured as `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/$User/$Repository/$Branch/$LocalFilePath` where `$User` is the registered GitHub user, `$Repository` is the chosen name of the repository, `$Branch` is the selected versioning branch (e.g. "main"), and `$LocalFilePath` is the local of the file in the repository. The example files are available at these URLs: * * #### Option 2 For a given GitHub repository it is possible to activate the [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/) option ("Project site") that turns the repository into a website. The second example file is available at this URL: * [https://difactory.github.io/repository/scenes/examples/example\_1.json](https://difactory.github.io/repository/scenes/ex/example_1.json) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://virtualfactory.gitbook.io/vlft/kb/instantiation/datarepo/remote.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
