Search Logic

The SPARQL query wrapped by this interface currently makes a number of assumptions, particularly that a fully qualified IRI is used for the entity and that the instance asserts a name predicate that can be used to identify the instance's URI:
    PREFIX foaf:  <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
    PREFIX rdf:   <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
    PREFIX rdfs:  <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
    SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE {
        ?s ?p ?o .
        ?s rdf:type ?entity.
        ?s <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name> ?name@en .
    }
