Get alias values from Wikidata for a given property? - sparql

For a given property like 'occupation (P106)', I want to retrieve all its aliases like: profession, job, work, career, employment, craft. All of this is present on the properties wikidata page, under 'Also known as'. How can I go about retrieving this using SPARQL?
I tried using the following query.
SELECT ?predicate ?object WHERE {
wdt:P106 wdt:P1449 ?predicate . //Nickname
wdt:P106 wdt:P734 ?predicate . //Family Name
wdt:P106 wdt:P735 ?predicate . //Given Name
wdt:P106 skos:altLabel ?predicate .
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}

SELECT ?altLabel
{
VALUES (?wd) {(wd:P106)}
?wd skos:altLabel ?altLabel .
FILTER (lang(?altLabel) = "en")
}
or
SELECT ?altLabel
{
VALUES (?wdt) {(wdt:P106)}
?wd wikibase:directClaim ?wdt .
?wd skos:altLabel ?altLabel .
FILTER (lang(?altLabel) = "en")
}
These paragraphs provide some explanation:

Update
You still could use the label service:
SELECT ?wdAltLabel
{
VALUES (?wdt) {(wdt:P106)}
?wd wikibase:directClaim ?wdt .
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}

SPARQL Query: A sets of breeds cat along with the cats that belong to

I am trying to query all the cats breeds (wd:Q43577) along with the list of cats that belong to. Below, you will find my solution. The result of my solution is not relevant and contains a redundancy. Therefore, I need your help to find the best solution. (to execute this query, you have to use this link).
SELECT ?CatsBreedsID ?CatsBreedsName ?CategoryID ?CategoryName ?CatsID ?CatsName where {
?CatsBreedsID wdt:P31 wd:Q43577.
OPTIONAL{
?CatsBreedsID wdt:P279 ?CategoryID.
?CatsID wdt:P31 ?CategoryID.
}
SERVICE wikibase:label {
bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en".
?CatsBreedsID rdfs:label ?CatsBreedsName .
?CategoryID rdfs:label ?CategoryName .
?CatsID rdfs:label ?CatsName.
}
}
You should use the GROUP_CONCAT function if I understand your question correctly.
Try a query like this:
SELECT ?CatsBreedsID ?CatsBreedsName ?CategoryID ?CategoryName
(GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ?CatsID; SEPARATOR=', ') AS ?CatsID_List)
(GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ?CatsName; SEPARATOR=', ') AS ?CatsName_List)
WHERE {
?CatsBreedsID wdt:P31 wd:Q43577.
OPTIONAL{
?CatsBreedsID wdt:P279 ?CategoryID.
?CatsID wdt:P31 ?CategoryID.
}
SERVICE wikibase:label {
bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en".
?CatsBreedsID rdfs:label ?CatsBreedsName .
?CategoryID rdfs:label ?CategoryName .
?CatsID rdfs:label ?CatsName.
}
} GROUP BY ?CatsBreedsID ?CatsBreedsName ?CategoryID ?CategoryName

Path matching inside a VALUES clause

I'm trying to perform path matching inside a VALUES clause in sparql in order to match all instances and subclasses of both battles and sieges in wikidata. The following request repeatedly times out.
SELECT DISTINCT ?battle ?battleLabel WHERE {
{
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
VALUES ?type {wd:Q178561 wd:Q188055} ?battle (wdt:P31/wdt:P279*) ?type .
?battle rdfs:label ?queryByTitle.
FILTER(REGEX(?queryByTitle, "saratoga", "i"))
}
}
It seems that VALUES, esp. in conjunction with /, confuses the Blazegraph's query optimizer in that case.
Use UNION instead of VALUES:
SELECT DISTINCT ?battle ?battleLabel WHERE {
{ ?battle wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q178561 }
UNION
{ ?battle wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q188055 }
?battle rdfs:label ?queryByTitle.
FILTER(REGEX(?queryByTitle, "saratoga", "i"))
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en" }
}
Alternatively, disable the optimizer and specify explicit order:
SELECT DISTINCT ?battle ?battleLabel WHERE {
hint:Query hint:optimizer "None" .
VALUES ?type {wd:Q178561 wd:Q188055}
?subtype wdt:P279* ?type .
?battle wdt:P31 ?subtype .
?battle rdfs:label ?queryByTitle.
FILTER(REGEX(?queryByTitle, "saratoga", "i"))
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en" }
}

How to get all properties for only a specific category in Wikidata?

Is there an RDF data/other format that allow me to get all the properties that can exist in a category e.g. Person, then I should be returned properties like sex, date of birth.
How to query this information at https://query.wikidata.org/ ?
What I want is this https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties/Summary_table
But is there a better format for this? I want to access programmatically.
UPDATE
This query is too heavy, causes timeout.
SELECT ?p ?attName WHERE {
?q wdt:P31 wd:Q5.
?q ?p ?statement.
?realAtt wikibase:claim ?p.
?realAtt rdfs:label ?attName.
FILTER(((LANG(?attName)) = "en") || ((LANG(?attName)) = ""))
}
GROUP BY ?p ?attName
I must specify the entity, e.g. to Barrack Obama then it works, but this does not give me the all possible properties.
SELECT ?p ?attName WHERE {
BIND(wd:Q76 AS ?q)
?q wdt:P31 wd:Q5.
?q ?p ?statement.
?realAtt wikibase:claim ?p.
?realAtt rdfs:label ?attName.
FILTER(((LANG(?attName)) = "en") || ((LANG(?attName)) = ""))
}
GROUP BY ?p ?attName

The page you have linked to is created by a bot. Contact the BetaBot operator, if you need to know how the bot works.

Perhaps the bot relies on the wd:P1963 property:
SELECT ?property ?propertyLabel {
VALUES (?class) {(wd:Q5)}
?class wdt:P1963 ?property
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
} ORDER BY ASC(xsd:integer(strafter(str(?property), concat(str(wd:), "P"))))
The above query returns 49 results.
3
I'd suggest you rely on type constraints from property pages:
SELECT ?property ?propertyLabel {
VALUES (?class) {(wd:Q5)}
?property a wikibase:Property .
?property p:P2302 [ ps:P2302 wd:Q21503250 ;
pq:P2309 wd:Q21503252 ;
pq:P2308 ?class ] .
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
} ORDER BY ASC(xsd:integer(strafter(str(?property), concat(str(wd:), "P"))))
The above query returns 700 results.

The first query from your question works fine for relatively small classes, e. g. wd:Q6256 ('country'). On the public endpoint, it is not possible to make the query work for large classes.
However, you could split the query into small parts. In Python:
from wdqs import Client
from time import sleep
client = Client()
result = client.query("SELECT (count(?p) AS ?c) {?p a wikibase:Property}")
count = int(result[0]["c"])
offset = 0
limit = 50
possible = []
while offset <= count:
props = client.query("""
SELECT ?property WHERE {
hint:Query hint:optimizer "None" .
{
SELECT ?property {
?property a wikibase:Property .
} ORDER BY ?property OFFSET %s LIMIT %s
}
?property wikibase:directClaim ?wdt.
FILTER EXISTS {
?human ?wdt [] ; wdt:P31 wd:Q5 .
hint:Group hint:maxParallel 501 .
}
hint:Query hint:filterExists "SubQueryLimitOne" .
# SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}
""" % (offset, limit))
for prop in props:
possible.append(prop['property'])
offset += limit
print (len(possible), min(offset, count))
sleep(0.25)
The last line of the output is:
2156 5154

Wikidata SPARQL query cast & crew

My objective is to create a sparql query that retrieves a list of cast and crew and it's wikidata type ("director", "screenwriter", "cast member", ...)
So far I have this:
SELECT ?titleLabel ?castLabel ?property ?propertyLabel
WHERE {
?title wdt:P345 "tt0848228".
?title wdt:P57 ?cast.
?property wikibase:propertyType ?propertyType.
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}
The output I want to achive is a table with rows like:
"The Avengers", "Joss Whedon", "wd:P57", "director"
...
I came up with this query:
SELECT ?titleLabel ?castLabel ?property ?propLabel
WHERE {
?title wdt:P345 "tt0848228".
# take all claims on this movie
?title ?property ?cast .
# that involve a human
?cast wdt:P31 wd:Q5 .
# get the property label
# see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries#Adding_labels_for_properties
hint:Query hint:optimizer "None" .
?prop wikibase:directClaim ?property .
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}

How to retrieve aliases from wikidata

I'm trying to retrieve some information from Wikidata and I have found interesting to collect the aliases of the voices. For examples Francesco Totti is also known as il Capitano or er Pupone :
I'm trying to retrieve all the serie a's football players with this sparql query:
SELECT ?subject ?nomeLabel ?cognomeLabel ?subjectLabel WHERE {
?subject wdt:P31 wd:Q5.
?subject p:P54 ?team .
?team ps:P54 wd:""" + team_code +""" .
FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?team pq:P582 ?end
}
OPTIONAL{
?subject wdt:P735 ?nome .
?subject wdt:P734 ?cognome .
}
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "it". }
}
ORDER BY (?cognomeLabel)
How I can modify my query to take also the aliases?
Thanks
I have attempted a query with various labels. Here just for Roma:
SELECT distinct ?subject ?subjectLabel ?nomeLabel ?cognomeLabel ?nickname ?alternative ?subjectAltLabel WHERE {
?subject wdt:P31 wd:Q5.
?subject p:P54 ?team .
?team ps:P54 wd:Q2739 .
FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?team pq:P582 ?end . }
OPTIONAL { ?subject wdt:P735 ?nome . }
OPTIONAL { ?subject wdt:P734 ?cognome . }
OPTIONAL { ?subject wdt:P1449 ?nickname . }
OPTIONAL { ?subject skos:altLabel ?alternative . }
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "it,en,fr". }
}
ORDER BY (?cognomeLabel)
I believe the P1449 property should be the most appropriate property to store an alias/nickname, but it does not seem to be used that much for football players. I just added "il Capitano" to Francesco Totti. Beyond that one there does not seem to be other nicknames for Roma players.
The "Also known as" label (in the right column) is not necessarily the nickname, but may be a spelling variation.
Something more generic if someone is interested in all properties that will return only the english also known as:
SELECT ?property ?propertyLabel ?propertyDescription (GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT(?altLabel); separator = ", ") AS ?altLabel_list) WHERE {
?property a wikibase:Property .
OPTIONAL { ?property skos:altLabel ?altLabel . FILTER (lang(?altLabel) = "en") }
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" .}
}
GROUP BY ?property ?propertyLabel ?propertyDescription
LIMIT 5000
Another more simple example for male actors with itemAltLabel :
#Male Actors
SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?itemAltLabel
WHERE
{
?item wdt:P21 wd:Q6581097.
?item wdt:P106 wd:Q33999.
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}
