dbpedia

I am very new to these topics. I read the sparql documents and I am trying to get a gender of a particular person. Say for example I want Larry_Page gender . I was able to getting all the properties of lary_page (Based on the following page: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Larry_Page ) but it doesn't have any property called Gender. So how can I get the gender of a particular person...??? Can any one tell me the answer please. O. R. Mapper DBpedia is not a particularly complete dataset. It is well possible that for the person you are looking at, there simply is no gender property of any kind

I'm trying to extract entity dictionary contains person name etc. from dbpedia using sparql. PREFIX owl: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/> PREFIX dbpprop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?person a owl:Person . ?person dbpprop:name ?name . FILTER(lang(?name) = "en") } The query above did succeed, but when I change the language name to fr , there is nothing to fetch. How can I fetch names in other languages? Moreover, why can't I filter language using query below? SELECT ?name WHERE { ?person a owl:Person . ?person dbpprop:language "English" ?person dbpprop:name ?name . } //

Using SPARQL, I can get all related info about some resource quite easily, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to actually differentiate between things and things -- in which Thing is the super class of all classes, and things that are inanimate objects, like a cup, spoon, pencil, etc. For example, here are a few innanimate objects in DBPedia: Fork: http://dbpedia.org/page/Fork Jar: http://dbpedia.org/page/Jar Envelope: http://dbpedia.org/page/Envelope Baseball glove: http://dbpedia.org/page/Baseball_glove Screwdriver: http://dbpedia.org/page/Screwdriver Here's the thing -- I know that

CONSTRUCT is an alternative SPARQL result clause to SELECT . Instead of returning a table of result values, CONSTRUCT returns an RDF graph. For instance, running this query in the following Java code produces an HttpException: 406 Unacceptable . But if instead of the CONSTRUCT block, I choose SELECT ?x , it's just fine. Does Jena support CONSTRUCT , and if so, how? Both queries are acceptable to the DBpedia endpoint . PREFIX : <http://dbpedia.org/resource/> PREFIX onto: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/> CONSTRUCT { :France onto:anthem ?x } WHERE { :France onto:anthem ?x . } Query query =

Suppose I have a uri http://dbpedia.org/page/Manmohan_Singh now he has a list of years in his tag dbpprop:years. When I write a query like PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> PREFIX dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>PREFIX dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> PREFIX dbpedia-owl: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/>PREFIX category: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Category:> PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>PREFIX dbpprop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/> PREFIX dbprop:
