VIAF Search by Entity Name
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 . }
Service Request Syntax
To make a programmatic request to this service, use the following syntax:/ld4l_services/viaf_entity_lookup.jsp?entity=Entity&name=Name
