SPARQL query to get all Person available in DBpedia is showing only some Person data, not all - sparql

Question

I am writing SPARQL query to get all Person available in DBpedia. My query is ->
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX dbp: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT ?resource ?name
WHERE {
?resource rdf:type dbo:Person;
dbp:name ?name.
FILTER (lang(?name) = 'en')
}
ORDER BY ASC(?name)
It's giving around 10000 rows,when I am taking the output as HTML/csv/spreadsheet format.
But when I am giving query to get total count
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX dbp: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT COUNT(*)
WHERE{
?resource rdf:type dbo:Person;
dbp:name ?name.
FILTER (lang(?name) = 'en')
}
It's giving -> 1783404
Can anyone suggest a solution to get all rows of Person available in DBpedia?

DBPedia is being smart enough here to not overload its servers with large queries, and capping matches at 10000. Since you are ordering the results, you can use LIMIT and OFFSET to get result in sets of 10000. For example, to get the second set of 10000 results use this:
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX dbo: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
PREFIX dbp: <http://dbpedia.org/property/>
SELECT ?resource ?name
WHERE {
?resource rdf:type dbo:Person;
dbp:name ?name.
FILTER (lang(?name) = 'en')
}
ORDER BY ASC(?name)
LIMIT 10000 OFFSET 10000
Actually, since DBPedia is limiting the results to 10000 matches, the LIMIT isn't really necessary.
