Honestly It's normal that you're confused. Because I have to admit that such configuration is not used anymore in Marmotta, and it doesn't have any effect. The story behind is simple: It comes from the old LMF times when we used a JPA-based method for mapping to the database. But after moving away from that setup, now we directly do the mappings in a more efficient (and complex) way, we kept it in some place of the admin interface, but it should be removed to avoid any confusion. I already created MARMOTTA-616 for that: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARMOTTA-616 > 2: I'm trying to update some fields in marmotta via the import folder > functionality.

RDF doesn't work in that way. What I'd use for such scenario is the import folder feature in combination with the graph store protocol, so: * You import data to a dedicated context (named graph); i.e., copy files to /path/to/marmotta/import/<NAME> * If you want to "overwrite" the data, drop the context with a DELETE HTTP request (with curl, for instance) to http://host/marmotta/context/<NAME> Here the documentation about those two features: http://wiki.apache.org/marmotta/ImportData#Import_data_via_the_local_directory *http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/#http-delete <http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/#http-delete>* Hope that helps. If you' d need more documentation, either by mail or improving the current one, just ask here.
