How to return all S->P->O triples from a starting resource to a specified path depth? - sparql

My goal is to graphically represent the S->P->O relations within a depth two edges from the specified resource, p:Person_1. I want all relations within that path length to be returned from my query as ?s, ?p, ?o for further processing in my graphical application.
I tried the first query below which gives me my first set of ?s ?p ?o with repeats, then ?p2, ?o2, ?p3, ?o3 as additional columns in the result. I want to bind ?p2 and ?p3 to ?p, ?o2 and ?o3 to ?o.
SELECT *
WHERE {
p:Person_1 ?p ?o .
BIND("p:Person_1" as ?s)
OPTIONAL{
?o ?p2 ?o2 .
}
OPTIONAL{
?o2 ?p3 ?o3 .
}
}
Then, based on How do I construct get the whole sub graph from a given resource in RDF Graph?, I tried using CONSTRUCT to return the graph.
PREFIX p: <http://www.example.org/person/>
PREFIX x: <example.org/foo/>
construct { ?s ?p ?o }
FROM <http://localhost:8890/MYGRAPH>
where { p:Person_1 (x:|!x:)* ?s .
?s ?p ?o .
}
I am using Virtuoso and I get the error:
Virtuoso 37000 Error SP031: SPARQL compiler: Variable ?_::trans_subj_9_3 in T_IN list is not a value from some triple
I could post-process the result from my first query but I want to learn how to do this correctly with SPARQL, preferably on Virtuoso.
Update after testing the advice from #AKSW :
Both CONSTRUCT and SELECT statements work with the pattern suggested.
CONSTRUCT { ?s ?p ?o }
FROM <http://localhost:8890/MYGRAPH>
where { p:Person_1 (x:foo|!x:bar)* ?s .
?s ?p ?o .
} LIMIT 100
and:
SELECT s ?p ?o
FROM <http://localhost:8890/MYGRAPH>
where { p:Person_1 (x:foo|!x:bar)* ?s .
?s ?p ?o .
} LIMIT 100
The SELECT results in several duplicates that cannot be removed using DISTINCT, which results in an error that I assume is due to the 'datatype' of some of the returned values.
Virtuoso 22023 Error SR066: Unsupported case in CONVERT (DATETIME -> IRI_ID)
It appears some post-SPARQL processing is in order.
This gets me most of the way there. Still hoping I can find a solution for SPARQL that is like Cypher's "number of hops away" :
OPTIONAL MATCH path=s-[*1..3]-(o)

Here is a SPARQL query that works in Virtuoso. Note the SPARQL W3C standard does not support this syntax and it will fail in other triplestores.
PREFIX p: <http://www.example.org/person/>
PREFIX x: <example.org/foo/>
# CONSTRUCT {?s ?p ?o} # If you wish to return the graph
SELECT ?s ?p ?o # To return the triples
FROM <http://localhost:8890/MYGRAPH>
where { p:Person_1 (x:foo|!x:bar){1,3} ?s .
?s ?p ?o .
}LIMIT 100

Working Drafts of SPARQL 1.1 Property Paths included the {n,m} operator for handling this issue, which was implemented (and will remain supported) in Virtuoso. Here's a tweak to #tim's response.
Live SPARQL Query Results Page using the DBpedia endpoint (which is a Virtuoso instance).
Live SPARQL Query Definition Page that opens up query source code in the default DBpedia query editor.
Actual Query Example:
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
SELECT DISTINCT ?s AS ?Entity
?o AS ?Category
WHERE {
?s rdf:type <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/AcademicJournal> ;
rdf:type{1,3} ?o
}
LIMIT 100

Should you be looking for LinkedIn-like presentation of Contact Networks and Degrees of Separation between individuals, here is an example using Virtuoso-specific SPARQL Extensions that solve this particular issue:
SELECT ?o AS ?WebID
((SELECT COUNT (*) WHERE {?o foaf:knows ?xx})) AS ?contact_network_size
?dist AS ?DegreeOfSeparation
<http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i> AS ?knowee
WHERE
{
{
SELECT ?s ?o
WHERE
{
?s foaf:knows ?o
}
} OPTION (TRANSITIVE, t_distinct, t_in(?s), t_out(?o), t_min (1), t_max (4), t_step ('step_no') AS ?dist) .
FILTER (?s= <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i>)
FILTER (isIRI(?s) and isIRI(?o))
}
ORDER BY ?dist DESC (?contact_network_size)
LIMIT 500
Note: this approach is the only way (at the current time) to expose actual relational hops between entities in an Entity Relationship Graph that includes Transitive relations.

Bearing in mind that the r{n,m} operator was deprecated in the final SPARQL 1.1 (but will remain supported in Virtuoso), you can use r/r?/r? instead of r{1,3}, if you want to work strictly off the current spec:
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
SELECT DISTINCT ?s AS ?Entity
?o AS ?Category
WHERE {
?s rdf:type <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/AcademicJournal> ;
rdf:type / rdf:type? / rdf:type? ?o
}
LIMIT 100
Here's a live example, against the DBpedia instance hosted in Virtuoso.

Why do I get onto:explicit statements when querying onto:implicit statements in GraphDB?

On querying statements from onto:implicit in GraphDB 10.0.0 using SPARQL I also get onto:explicit results. Here is an example:
select * from <http://www.ontotext.com/implicit> where {
?s ?p ?o .
}
Gives me all statements with context onto:implicit AND onto:explicit.
Only when I add a MINUS command it returns only the onto:implicit statements.
select * from <http://www.ontotext.com/implicit> where {
?s ?p ?o .
minus{
graph <http://www.ontotext.com/explicit> {
?s ?p ?o .
}
}
}
Why is that? Fyi: If I use from named <http://www.ontotext.com/implicit> not even the version with MINUS works.

SPARQL: How to retrieve all dog breeds and all their infobox data from dbpedia?

I would like to know how is the best sparql way to retrieve all dog breeds and all their infobox data from dbpedia.
I've tried this:
SELECT * WHERE {
{
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dog_type> ?p ?o
}
UNION
{
?s ?p <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dog_type> .
?s ?p ?o .
?p ?p2 ?o2
}
}
But the result is far away from I expect like:
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Basque_Shepherd_Dog dbpedia2:coat "moderately long"^^rdf:langString
First, note that <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dog_type> is not the class of dog breeds.
For several reasons, I suggest you do this work on DBpedia Live, rather than DBpedia [Snapshot].
Start there with a look at the description of your example breed, http://dbpedia.org/resource/Basque_Shepherd_Dog.
Then consider whether a query like the following will get you what you want --
SELECT DISTINCT *
WHERE
{
?breed a <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/DogBreeds> ;
?p ?o
}
ORDER BY ?breed ?p ?o
LIMIT 1000

SPARQL - Return mutual objects of a list of subjects

How can i get all predicates + objects, which are shared by a list of subjects - without knowing anything about the predicates/objects of these subjects?
Let's look at this example query from Wikidata:
SELECT ?chancellor WHERE{
?chancellor wdt:P39 wd:Q4970706. #P39 = position held, Q4970706 = Chancellor of Germany
}
Link to this query.
This query returns all former chancellors of germany.
Now i want to return every predicate + object, which every chancellor has in common e.g. every of the subjects is an instance of human, is born in Germany and whatever.
I guess this is an easy one. However i have no idea.
This is a good one. Here's a near-hit:
prefix wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>
prefix wd: <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/>
select ?p ?o (count(distinct ?chancellor) as ?cs) where {
?chancellor wdt:P39 wd:Q4970706.
?chancellor ?p ?o .
}
group by ?p ?o
order by desc(?cs)
Link to query
This takes all chancellors, and their properties and values. It counts the number of chancellors per prop/val.
By ordering that you can see the most common prop / vals at the top.
Now what you want is the only the results for all chancellors. We can get the number of chancellors in one query easily enough, and stick the two together:
prefix wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>
prefix wd: <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/>
select ?p ?o where {
{
# Find number of chancellors
select (count(?chancellor) as ?num_chancellors) where {
?chancellor wdt:P39 wd:Q4970706
}
}
{
# Find number of chancellors per predicate / value
select ?p ?o (count(distinct ?chancellor) as ?chancellor_count) where {
?chancellor wdt:P39 wd:Q4970706.
?chancellor ?p ?o .
}
group by ?p ?o
}
# Choose results all chancellors share
filter (?num_chancellors = ?chancellor_count)
}
Link to query.
I think this does what you want. Not very pretty, I confess.
An interesting aspect of SPARQL and RDF is that you don't need to know anything about the data to query it. In your case I'd suggest adding the triple pattern ?chancellor ?p ?o . and select ?p and ?o. From there you can choose any property you're looking for. Be sure to use OPTIONAL if some of the ?chancellor matches don't have that property value.

SPARQL Construct query Segmentation

I run a SPARQL construct query on DBpedia endpoint. The query is for getting all the information describing all movies:
construct
{
?s ?p ?o
}
where
{
?s a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Film>.
{
SELECT ?s ?p ?o
{
?s ?p ?o
}
group by ?s ?p
}
}
The query works fine. The problem is DBpedia stops it at 10.000. I tried to make the offset 0 but it does make any difference. Also, I don't think chrome would support to display a million triple. Therefore, I was thinking if there is a solution, or a tip, so I can retrieve the data by segments, meaning I start from where I stopped previously.
You could try ORDER BY, LIMIT and OFFSET. You can also simplify your query significantly:
construct
{
?s ?p ?o
}
where
{
?s a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Film> .
?s ?p ?o
} ORDER BY ?s ?p ?o
OFFSET 0 LIMIT 1000
Then change the OFFSET for each "segment".

sparql to retrieve the value of a min constraint

How can I retrieve a min constraint on a class' attribute using sparql? I have value min 1000 decimal, and I would like to get 1000
In a hypothetical world that you have such a statement:
Class: X subClassOf: hasObjectProperty min 1 Y
If you write a SPARQL query as:
SELECT *
WHERE {
?s rdfs:subClassOf ?o.
}
You must extract all the refs:subClassOf axioms. However, if you need to precise and know which ones have cardinality restrictions, you need to go further:
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
prefix : <http://example.com#>
SELECT *
WHERE {
?s rdfs:subClassOf ?o.
?o ?x ?y.
filter(?s = :X)
}
Among others, you can see the following result:
As you can see, there are 2 relevant items, one is Y and one is the number presented as a non-negative integer. Therefore, one way to get each item is to put a filter for ?x in the SPARQL query and get each one one by one out. For example, filter owl:onClass will give you ?y:
prefix : <http://example.com#>
SELECT *
WHERE {
?s rdfs:subClassOf ?o.
?o owl:onClass ?y.
filter(?s = :X)
Here is the sparql query I used following Artemis' answer
SELECT ?min
WHERE {?s rdfs:subClassOf ?o.
?o owl:minQualifiedCardinality ?min.
FILTER(?s = :value) }
And with jena, I use getLiteral("min").getFloat();
