Question

Ok so i have this query

SELECT DISTINCT (COUNT(?instance) AS ?count) WHERE {
?instance a 

        

Answer 1

You might want to try this:

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> 

SELECT (COUNT(DISTINCT ?instance) AS ?count) WHERE {
?instance a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Ambassador>; 
          <http://dbpedia.org/property/name> ?name
}

It's giving me a result of 283, which might or might not be right :).
