Inline SPARQL Queries#

The sparql markup allows to execute a query on the ontology repository. The result of the query will be rendered into the wiki page (instead of the query).

%%sparql...

After the SPARQL statement the following annotations can be inserted:

Annotation Description
@name Gives the SPARQL the specified name. The name can be used as reference in other markup.
@zebramode Renders the result table in zebra-style (gray/white).
@border A visual border is painted around the result table cells.
@rawOutput No abbreviations are used in the result table, but the full content (of literals for example) is printed.
@showQuery Besides the results of the query, also the query is shown in the view mode of the wiki.
@sorting The result table is sorted.

Example#

The sparql markup allows full support of the SPARQL 1.1. query language specification, which can be found here: http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/

The following simple example shows a query selecting all instances of the class Person:

%%sparql
SELECT ?x  
WHERE {
  ?x rdf:type lns:Person .
}
@name: exampleQuery
@zebramode: true
@border: true 
%

Instead of the query, the wiki page will show a table presenting the result of the query.
