SPARQL Tips

PREFIXES

in Wikidata prefixes don't need to be specified explicitly in SPARQL queries. However, in our Wikibase.cloud instance, prefixes must be explicitly stated, as this example shows. Please note and mind the distinction between PREFIX kbwdt, kbwd, wdt and wd.

The following query uses these:

• P1
• Q6

PREFIX rlwd: <https://riga-literata.wikibase.cloud/entity/>
PREFIX rlwdt: <https://riga-literata.wikibase.cloud/prop/direct/>

SELECT ?item ?itemLabel
WHERE 
{
  ?item rlwdt:P1 rlwd:Q6.
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en,[AUTO_LANGUAGE]". }
}

Try it!
