Sample Queries#
Ok, we can test/query the ontology by inserting some SPARQL statements.
Simple start#
Show me all instances of Human and also show their labels.
Barts Grand-Pa#
Use property paths in SPARQL.
Now using a defined PropertyChain
Optional belongings#
We also can add optional patterns into the query. Show all humans and their (optional) belongings.
UNION: All names of humans and animals#
Expected Compentency Questions: Intersecting Properties#
The family father: A father that is also a husband
