My SPARQL query doesn't work at all - sparql

I am currently trying to run my query but I keep getting the error that in line 0 the parentheses are not balanced at '}'
I have checked my whole code multiple times, but I don't seem to get it fixed. I am currently using the dbpedia endpoint.
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX yago: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/>
PREFIX dbp: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
PREFIX dct: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
SELECT DISTINCT ?country ?government ?population
WHERE{ ?country dct:subject <http://dbpedia.org/resource>/Category:Countries_in_Europe> ;
rdfs:label ?country;
dbo:government ?government.
?government rdfs:label ?government.
?population rdfs:subClassOf* dbo:PopulatedPlace
rdf:type dbpedia-owl:Country;
rdfs:label ?country ;
prop:populationEstimate ?population .
FILTER (?population < 3000000) .
FILTER ( lang(?country) AND (lang(?(government = 'en')
}
Three rows in the graph should be shown, First with the country as a title, second with the governmenttypes of the countries as a title and the 3rd should be a row with the population descending from the total of 3000000.
Thanks alot in advance for helping me out!

You have multiple errors in this query.
Several things that pop out at me.
Thing 1 --
?government rdfs:label ?government.
You've got several similar ?subject ?predicate ?subject constructions.
Thing 2 --
?population rdfs:subClassOf* dbo:PopulatedPlace
rdf:type dbpedia-owl:Country;
I think you need a semicolon after dbo:PopulatedPlace
Thing 3 --
FILTER ( lang(?country) AND (lang(?(government = 'en')
That FILTER breaks syntax several ways. I think this will do what you intend --
FILTER ( lang(?country) = 'en') .
FILTER ( lang(?government) = 'en') .
Thing 4 --
<http://dbpedia.org/resource>/Category:Countries_in_Europe>
You've got an extra > in mid-string.
Thing 5 --
dbpedia-owl:Country
I think that should be dbo:Country
Thing 6 --
prop:populationEstimate
I think that should be dbp:populationEstimate
There are MANY more issues... I am not sure you're really trying.

SPARQL DBpedia get properties of a person knowing their name

new to SPARQL. Trying to figure out why I get different results on these two queries. It's based on this other question, where I'm trying to match properties to a name of a person. For example, I'm curious to know the birthday of J.K. Rowling, without knowing her URI directly. Here's the code from the link above:
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
SELECT DISTINCT *
WHERE
{
?item rdfs:label ?itemLabel .
FILTER ( ?itemLabel = "Car"#en ) .
?item dbo:abstract ?itemDescription .
FILTER (lang(?itemDescription) = 'en')
}
ORDER BY ?itemLabel
compared to the query I'd like with J.K.:
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
SELECT DISTINCT *
WHERE
{
?item rdfs:label ?itemLabel .
FILTER ( ?itemLabel = "J.K. Rowling"#en ) .
?item dbo:abstract ?itemDescription .
FILTER (lang(?itemDescription) = 'en')
}
ORDER BY ?itemLabel
The first one works fine, however, when I replace "Car" with "J.K. Rowling" as in the second, nothing is returned (her URI is return if I remove the dbo:abstract line and the filter line for it). J.K. Rowling does have a dbo:abstract in English. I'm not sure why it works for one and not the other. The only thing I can see that that 'Car' is a 'Thing', while J.K. is a 'person'

Writing Query result to .ttl file format

Any ideas on how to save the results of this SPARQL query into a TURTLE format?
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
select distinct ?city ?labelEn{
?city a dbo:City.
?city rdfs:label ?labelEn.
filter(lang(?labelEn) = 'en').
}
LIMIT 10
One way is to just ask the DBpedia endpoint to do so. Of course, you may not be expecting the reification that results there.
Later comments suggest what you really want is rather different from your original question... More like --
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
CONSTRUCT
{ ?city a dbo:City .
?city rdfs:label ?labelEn .
}
WHERE
{ ?city a dbo:City .
?city rdfs:label ?labelEn .
FILTER(lang(?labelEn) = 'en')
}
-- which again you can ask the endpoint to serialize as Turtle.

Simple SPARQL Query

I am working from this example, and I want to archieve the same, however with a different topic - Climate change
All i need to output is the abstract from this page: http://dbpedia.org/page/Climate_change
PREFIX dbp-res: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>
PREFIX dbp-ont: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX dbp-prop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT *
WHERE
{
?Resource a dbp-ont:Agent .
?Resource dbp-ont:abstract ?Description .
?Resource rdfs:label ?Label .
FILTER( STR(?Label) = 'Climate_change' )
FILTER (langMatches(lang(?Description),'en'))
FILTER (langMatches(lang(?Label),'en'))
}
The problem seems to be the Agent, but I have no clue, as to what to replace it with.
My query

Why is this sparql query not returning any rows on dbpedia?

This is my query below, querying the country names with a certain minimum population, executing on http://dbpedia.org/sparql.
even though i change the population variable to a tiny amount. there are no rows being returned. why?
PREFIX type: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/>
PREFIX prop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT ?country_name ?population
WHERE {
?country a type:LandlockedCountries ;
rdfs:label ?country_name ;
prop:populationEstimate ?population .
FILTER (?population > 15000000 && langMatches(lang(?country_name), "en")) .
} ORDER BY DESC(?population)
Because there is no class http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/LandlockedCountries in DBpedia - I don't know why you think that there is such a class?
There is a Wikipedia category Landlocked_countries, thus, the URI would be http://dbpedia.org/resource/Category:Landlocked_countries and the property that relates resources to a category is http://purl.org/dc/terms/subject:
PREFIX prop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
PREFIX dbc: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Category:>
PREFIX dct: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>
SELECT *
WHERE {
?country dct:subject dbc:Landlocked_countries ;
rdfs:label ?country_name ;
prop:populationEstimate ?population .
FILTER (?population > 15000000 && langMatches(lang(?country_name), "en")) .
} ORDER BY DESC(?population)
In general, "debugging" a SPARQL query can be done by starting with just a single triple pattern and checking if this returns the expected resp. any result.

SPARQL query does not give all the results that are on dbpedia

I'm executing this query in http://dbpedia.org/snorql/:
Query:
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX type: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/>
PREFIX prop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT ?country_name ?population
WHERE {
?country a type:LandlockedCountries ;
rdfs:label ?country_name ;
prop:populationEstimate ?population .
}
The query looks for all land looked countries.
I don't understand why in the results there are not some countries which are classified on
"/dbpedia.org/class/yago/LandlockedCountries". For example, Paraguay (/dbpedia.org/page/ParaguAy) is classified but does not appear in the query result set. Can somebody explain me why?
Unfortunately, there are a small number of landlocked countries that do not have values for at least one of the country_name and populationEstimate properties. This is why they will not be returned in your query. If you run the following query, those countries will come up (those two attributes are set as OPTIONAL).
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
PREFIX type: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/>
PREFIX prop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT ?country ?country_name ?population
WHERE {
?country a type:LandlockedCountries .
OPTIONAL {?country rdfs:label ?country_name Filter(lang(?country_name) = 'en')} .
OPTIONAL {?country prop:populationEstimate ?population} .
}
run query
For (slightly) better results, since some countries seem to be duplicated with erroneous capitalization (e.g. ParaguAy and Paraguay), the following query uses ?country dcterms:subject category:Landlocked_countries instead of the yago class.
run query
