Search Logic

The SPARQL query wrapped by this interface currently comes in three variations
Only givenname is specified
the query only specifies schema:giveName
Only familyname is specified
the query only specifies schema:familyname
Both givenname and familyname specified
the query specifies three conjunctive alternatives
  • schema:name = "givenName familyname"
  • schema:name = "familyname, givenName"
  • schema:givenName = "givenName" and schema:familyname = "familyname"

Service Request Syntax

To make a programmatic request to this service, use the following syntax:

Where GivenName and Surname are properly escaped to handle things like contained spaces.
