DBpedia SPARQL and predicate connection - sparql

I've got a problem with the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint because the properties of the properties like the label of rdf:type are not stocked in the endpoint. So when I run this query:
SELECT *
WHERE{
<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place> ?predicat ?object .
OPTIONAL{?predicat rdfs:label ?label}
}
I've got nothing for ?label.
If someone got any idea to solve this problem it would be very helpful.

You can't get the real labels from DBpedia because the SPARQL endpoint doesn't have them. But you can take the local name of the property URI. So, for rdfs:subClassOf you'd get "subClassOf". That's better than nothing. This can be done using Virtuoso's (non-standard) bif:regexp_replace function.
SELECT DISTINCT (bif:regexp_replace(STR(?p), "^.*[/#]", "") AS ?label) WHERE {
<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place> ?p ?o .
}

I don't think there's a SPARQL solution. Dbpedia doesn't have the data you want, and I couldn't easily find a SPARQL endpoint for that RDF at W3C. And I don't think the Virtuoso dbpedia endpoint supports federation yet, even if we did find a SPARQL endpoint for W3C.
Happy to be proven wrong on any of those points.

Fuseki Sparql service not able to refer to external rdf resources

I am not able to refer my sparql query to external rdf resources. I do not get any results. I am using Apache Fuseki. Could there be anything wrong in my settings? Thx.
PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
SELECT ?title
FROM <http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2008/webdav/timbl/foaf.rdf>
WHERE { ?s dc:title ?title .}
Not from within Fuseki where FROM/FROM NAMED refer to graphs in the dataset being queried. This is what most people want. Long ago, it did pull from the web but that wasn't popular.
It works from the command line.

Querying DBpedia-Live with SPARQL does not give same answer as DBpedia

I want to query DBpedia with DBpedia Live endpoint.
I have this query :
SELECT *
WHERE {
?x a dbo:Person .
?x rdfs:label "Usain Bolt"#en .
}
This query gives the correct answer with most names I tried (for example “Teddy Riner"#en) but it fails with Usain Bolt and Rachid Badouri.
I don’t get why as their DBpedia pages (Teddy Riner, Usain Bolt) are constructed the same way: they both have a rdfs:label, which is written exactly like I did.
It seems to me that there is an incoherence between the endpoint and DBpedia. But I don’t think that it's because the endpoint is not to date.
Even more surprising, this query gives the correct answer:
SELECT *
WHERE {
?x rdfs:label "Usain Bolt"#en .
}
However, Usain Bolt is a dbo:Person! Same thing for Rachid Badouri.
Could someone explain me why the first query does not give answer?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
According to DBpedia-Live, at the time of writing, the entity with rdfs:label "Usain Bolt"#en has many types, but is not a dbo:Person. Similar for the entity with rdfs:label "Rachid Badouri"#en.
In contrast, the entity with rdfs:label "Teddy Riner"#en is a dbo:Person.
Note: DBpedia-Live content is a moving target, varying with Wikipedia content changes, adjustments in the templates, and other variables. The statements I made above may no longer be true when you read this.

How to retrieve abstract for a DBpedia resource?

I need to find all DBpedia categories and articles that their abstract include a specific word.
I know how to write a SPARQL query that queries the label like the following:
SELECT ?uri ?txt WHERE {
?uri rdfs:label ?txt .
?txt bif:contains "Machine" .
}
but I have not figured out yet how to search the abstract.
I've tried with the following but it seems not to be correct.
SELECT ?uri ?txt WHERE {
?uri owl:abstract ?txt .
?txt bif:contains "Machine" .
}
How can I retrieve the abstract in order to query its text?
Since you already know how to search a string for text content, this question is really about how to get the abstract. If you retrieve any DBpedia resource in a web browser, e.g., http://dbpedia.org/resource/Mount_Monadnock (which will redirect to http://dbpedia.org/page/Mount_Monadnock), you can see the triples of which it's a subject or predicate. In this case, you'll see that the property is dbpedia-owl:abstract. Thus you can do things like
select * where {
?s dbpedia-owl:abstract ?abstract .
?abstract bif:contains "Monadnock" .
filter langMatches(lang(?abstract),"en")
}
limit 10
SPARQL results
Instead of visiting the page for the resource, which not endpoints will support, you could have simply retrieved all the triples for the subject, and looked at which ones relate it to its abstract. Since you know the abstract is a literal, you could even restrict it to triples where the object is a literal, and perhaps with a language that you want. E.g.,
select ?p ?o where {
dbpedia:Mount_Monadnock ?p ?o .
filter ( isLiteral(?o) && langMatches(lang(?o),'en') )
}
SPARQL results
This also clearly shows that the property you want is http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract. When you have a live query interface that you can use to pull down arbitrary data, it's very easy to find out what parts of the data you want. Just pull down more than you want at first, and then refine to get just what you want.

sparql empty result for dbpedia-owl:influenced property

I am trying to retrieve the value of the dbpedia-owl:influenced in this page e.g: Andy_Warhol
The query I write is:
PREFIX rsc : http://dbpedia.org/resource
PREFIX dbpedia-owl :http://dbpedia.org/ontology
SELECT ?o WHERE {
rsc:Andy_Warhol dbpedia-owl:infuenced ?o .
}
but it is EMPTY.
Strange is that when I have the same query for another property from the ontology type like "birthPlace", the sparql engine gives the result back:
SELECT ?o WHERE {
rsc:Andy_Warhol dbpedia-owl:birthplace ?o .
}
which is a link to another resource:
dbpedia.org/resource/Pittsburgh
I am just confused how to write this query?
besides several formal errors addressed in the answer of #Joshua, there is also the semantic problem that the properties you are looking for - in this case - seem to be found on the entities that were influenced.
this query might give you the desired results
PREFIX rsc: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>
PREFIX dbpedia-owl: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
SELECT ?s WHERE {
?s dbpedia-owl:influencedBy rsc:Andy_Warhol .
}
run query
There are a few issues here. One is that the SPARQL, as presented, isn't correct. I edited to make the prefix syntax legal, but the prefixes were still wrong (they didn't end with a final slash). You don't want to be querying for http://dbpedia.org/resourceAndy_Warhol after all; you want to query for http://dbpedia.org/resource/Andy_Warhol. Some standard namespaces for DBpedia are listed on their SPARQL endpoint. Using those namespaces and the SPARQL endpoint, we can ask for all the triples that have http://dbpedia.org/resource/Andy_Warhol as the subject with this query:
SELECT * WHERE {
dbpedia:Andy_Warhol ?p ?o .
}
In the results produced there, you'll see the one using http://dbpedia.org/ontology/birthPlace (note the captial P in birthPlace), but you won't see any triples with the predicate http://dbpedia.org/ontology/infuenced, so it makes sense that your first query has no results. Do you have some reason to suppose that there should be some results?

dbpedia SPARQL query for finding artist properties

I'm trying to get details about an artist via DBPedia and the SPARQL query language, however, it seems almost impossible (with my understanding) of how to get certain pieces of information.
I'm trying to get an Artist and pull information such as their Hometown. I'm guessing the query should be something similar to that of:
SELECT ?c WHERE {
?b <http://dbpedia.org/property/Artist> <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Arctic_Monkeys>.
?b <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#ObjectProperty> <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/hometown>.
?b rdfs:label ?c.
}
If anyone could enlighten me to how it should be done, that would be amazing.
I've been trying out the queries at:
http://dbpedia.org/sparql
If you want to find the label of their hometown, try this:
SELECT ?hometownLabel WHERE {
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Arctic_Monkeys> <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/hometown> ?hometown .
?hometown <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> ?hometownLabel .
}
Maybe you don't have a good understanding of SPARQL syntax. Unlike SQL, SPARQL search results by writing some triples with unknow variables in the WHERE clause.
you can try:
prefix dbpedia-owl:<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>
SELECT ?c
WHERE {
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Arctic_Monkeys> dbpedia-owl:hometown ?c.
}
With this search, you will get Arctic_Monkeys' hometown.
SELECT ?hometown
WHERE {
dbr:Arctic_Monkeys dbo:hometown ?label.
?label rdfs:label ?hometown.
FILTER(langMatches(lang(?hometown), "en"))
}
