I m a newbie to Sparql and try to understand it through studying a book called learning Sparql by DuCharme. Unfortunately an example doesn't seem to work and I don't get problem.
As requested in the book I type this in at https://dbpedia.org/snorql/
PREFIX d: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX : <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>
SELECT ?artistName ?albumName
WHERE
{
?album d:producer :Timbaland .
?album d:musicalArtist ?artist .
?album rdfs:label ?albumName .
?artist rdfs:label ?artistName .
}
Thank you for any help and any hint on how to debug sparql queries.

I want to retrieve the name of the city associated to a person in a triplestore which links a person to a geonames entry. I am using a local server (Apache Jena Fuseki) on this minimal triplestore (in turtle):
#prefix ex: <http://www.example.audio/ex> .
#prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .
#prefix gn: <http://www.geonames.org/ontology#> .
ex:Cristina rdf:type foaf:Person ;
foaf:firstName "Cristina" ;
foaf:based_near <https://sws.geonames.org/3164527/> .
https://sws.geonames.org/3164527/ is the URI of the city of Verona
This is the query I am trying to perform:
SELECT ?person
WHERE {
?person foaf:based_near ?city .
?city gn:name "Verona" .
}
As you can see, what I wish to do is using the gn:name predicate.
How can I achieve this? Obviously I am doing something wrong.
I have a list of artstyles in graphDB, i am trying to use the SERVICE function to get their labels from Wikidata with this query:
PREFIX gp: <http://www.semanticweb.org/kandd/group76/final_project#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
SELECT ?movement ?label
WHERE{
?artist gp:hasArtStyle ?movement.
SERVICE <https://query.wikidata.org/sparql>{
?movement rdfs:label ?label .
FILTER (langMatches( lang(?label), "EN" ) )
}
}
note that gp is a namespace that only exists in my graph, not anywhere on the internet and also note that ?movement contains a list of valid Wikidata URIs such as http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q186030
yet still the response I get is:
Error 500: error
Query evaluation error: org.eclipse.rdf4j.query.QueryEvaluationException: org.eclipse.rdf4j.query.QueryEvaluationException: java.io.IOException: Unkown record type: 83 (HTTP status 500)
What am I doing wrong?
Remember that you query is handled from the inside to the outside, meaning that the service part is handled first, and then the part where you use your own specific property.
Currently, your query on WikiData is very general. You ask for everything that has a rdfs:label, and then filter on all the English labels it returns.
Given this, my guess is that you query simply times out. Instead, I would try something like this:
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>
PREFIX wd: <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/>
SELECT *
WHERE{
SERVICE <https://query.wikidata.org/sparql>{
?artist wdt:P101 wd:Q186030 ; #Field of Work is contemporary art
wdt:P31 wd:Q5 ; #instance of Human
rdfs:label ?name . #get the label
FILTER (langmatches(lang(?name), "en"))
}
}
If I try this in GraphDB, it returns 156 results.
This is an evolution of this question.
Basically I am having trouble getting all the solutions to a SPARQL query from a remote endpoint. I have read through section 2.4 here because it seems to describe a situation almost identical to mine.
The idea is that I want to filter my results from DBPedia based on information in my local RDF graph. The query is here:
PREFIX ns1:
<http://www.semanticweb.org/caeleanb/ontologies/twittermap#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
SELECT *
WHERE {
?p ns1:displayName ?name .
SERVICE <http://dbpedia.org/sparql> {
?s rdfs:label ?name .
?s rdf:type foaf:Person .
}
}
And the only result I get is dbpedia:John_McCain (for ?s). I think this is because John McCain is the only match in the first 'x' results, but I can't figure out how to get the query to return all matches. For example, if I add a filter like:
SERVICE <http://dbpedia.org/sparql> {
?s rdfs:label ?name .
?s rdf:type foaf:Person .
FILTER(?name = "John McCain"#en || ?name = "Jamie Oliver"#en)
}
Then it correctly returns BOTH dbpedia:Jamie_Oliver and dbpedia:John_McCain. There are dozens of other matches like Jamie Oliver that do not come through unless I specifically add it to a Filter like this.
Can someone explain a way to extract the rest of the matches? Thanks.
It looks like the cause of this issue is that the SERVICE block is attempting to pull all foaf:Persons from DBPedia, and then filter them based on my local Stardog db. Since there is a 10,000 result limit when querying DBPedia, only matches which occur in that set of 10,000 arbitrary Persons will be found. To fix this, I wrote a script to put together a FILTER block containing every string name in my Stardog db and attached it to the SERVICE block to filter remotely and thereby avoid hitting the 10,000 result limit. It looks something like this:
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX dbr: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX ns1: <http://www.semanticweb.org/caeleanb/ontologies/twittermap#>
CONSTRUCT{
?s rdf:type ns1:Person ;
ns1:Politician .
}
WHERE {
?s rdfs:label ?name .
?s rdf:type dbo:Politician .
FILTER(?name IN ("John McCain"#en, ...)
}
I have built an ontology for live concerts, Concert_Ontology.ttl. This contains definitions for concerts, artists, repertoires, and songs. I want to match the artists in my ontology and the artists in the dbpedia Person ontology based on the attributes c:artistName and dbp:name. I have written the following query to access the dbpedia endpoint and retrieve additional information about the artists.
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX dbp: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX c: <http://localhost:8080/Concert_Ontology.ttl#>
SELECT ?performer ?artistname ?dob
WHERE {
?performer a c:Artist ;
c:artistName ?artistname .
SERVICE <http://dbpedia.org/sparql> {
?person a dbo:Person ;
dbo:birthDate ?dob ;
dbp:name ?n .
FILTER (str(?n) = ?artistname)
}
}
However, I do not seem to be able to access the ?artistname variable from within the SERVICE expression. If I put the FILTER method outside the SERVICE expression the query works, but since dbpedia has a return cap of 10000 results, I am not able to retrieve and match all the artists.
Could someone guide me in finding a solution to this problem?
I found a solution to my problem. The filter function will not work with a local variable on the remote endpoint. However, if I omit the filter function and simply use the same variable name for the local and remote variable, it will return the correct results. Like this:
SELECT ?performer ?artistname ?dob
WHERE {
?performer a :Performer ;
:artistName ?artistname .
SERVICE <http://dbpedia.org/sparql> {
?person a dbo:Person ;
dbo:birthDate ?dob ;
dbp:name ?artistname .
}
}
SERVICE executes the pattern at the server. The server does not know the value of ?artistname (of which there can be many and is local information to the caller). So the best that can happen is to execute the
?person a dbo:Person ;
dbo:birthDate ?dob ;
dbp:name ?n .
and filter locally.
You can pass variable as IRI to SERVICE.
bind(iri(concat("http://dbpedia.org/resource/",replace(? artistname," ","_"))) as ?person)
and no need to filter by name.
I am trying to extract the hierarchy of Wikipedia category or Yago classification for DBpedia resources using the SPARQL endpoint. For instance, I would like to find out all the possible categories and classes in hierarchical form of entity, say, http://dbpedia.org/resource/Nokia, like Thing → Organization → Company → … → Nokia.
A simple SPARQL select can retrieve the information that you're interested in, though it won't be arranged hierarchically. You're interested in getting all the types of a resource, as well as the rdfs:subClassOf relations between them. Here's a very simple query for Nokia that can be run on the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint
SELECT * WHERE {
dbpedia:Nokia a ?c1 ; a ?c2 .
?c1 rdfs:subClassOf ?c2 .
}
SPARQL results
If you treat each pair of classes in that result set as a directed edge and perform a topological sort , then you'll see the hierarchy of the classes to which the Nokia resource belongs. In fact, since it is probably convenient to treat this as a graph, you can get it in the form of an RDF graph by using a SPARQL construct query.
CONSTRUCT WHERE {
dbpedia:Nokia a ?c1 ; a ?c2 .
?c1 rdfs:subClassOf ?c2 .
}
SPARQL results
The construct query produces this graph (in N3 format):
#prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
#prefix dbpedia-owl: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/> .
#prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
#prefix yago: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/> .
#prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
#prefix dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/> .
dbpedia-owl:Agent rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing .
dbpedia-owl:Company rdfs:subClassOf dbpedia-owl:Organisation .

yago:CompaniesListedOnTheHelsinkiStockExchange rdfs:subClassOf yago:Company108058098 .
yago:DisplayTechnologyCompanies rdfs:subClassOf yago:Company108058098 .
yago:ElectronicsCompaniesOfFinland rdfs:subClassOf yago:Company108058098 .
Remarks
The queries above retrieve the rdf:type hierarchy for Nokia. In the question, you also mention Wikipedia categories. DBpedia resources are associated with the Wikipedia categories to which their corresponding articles belong by the dcterms:subject property. Those Wikipedia categories are then structured hierarchically by skos:broader. These really are not types for the individuals though. For instance, the data contain:
dbpedia:Nokia dcterms:subject category:Finnish_brands
category:Finnish_brands skos:broader category:Brands_by_country
While it probably makes sense to say that Nokia is a Finnish_brand, it makes much less sense to say that Nokia is a Brand_by_country.
