Help:SPARQL gathers a list of basic SPARQL queries in the context of Lingua Libre, demoed and ready to test, together with beginners-friendly knowledges, inline-comments, introductions to concepts, code snippets and few tools. This page allows users not familiar with SPARQL to rapidly learn the basics of SPARQL, query the LinguaLibre database, and to download or directly feed that data to an application. To fit the with most frequent usages, the case of a web developper with basic Javascripts skill is taken.

2021/12/10 : Work in progress. Please do not translate yet as sections are still under active changes. You may help by: reading/fixing the page, testing queries here, replacing Q21 (French) and Q42 (User:0x010C) by a smaller non-western languages and users, harmonising in-line comments, adding the right category to this page. --Yug

Tools

On Wikidata, the WDQS allows to practice SPARQL queries creation in an intuitive way.

Code snippets

Fetch data using SPARQL

LinguaLibre data can be fetched using various coding languages such as Python, Javascript, R and others, returning JSON or other formats.

  • For code snippet in your language : open query.wikidata.org (WikiData Query Service, aka WDQS), run your SPARQL query, click "Code" : a pop up window appears with various implementations.
  • For downloading data, click "Download".

Javascript:
At least 3 methods exists (code snippet), example:

Query Result's basic unit
SPARQL:
SELECT ?item WHERE { ?item prop:P2 entity:Q5 } LIMIT 10

{ … },
{
  "item": {
    "type": "uri",
    "value": "https://lingualibre.org/entity/Q12"
  },
  "itemLabel": {
    "xml:lang": "en",
    "type": "literal",
    "value": "beginner"
  }
},
{ … }
Javascript: 
var endpoint = 'https://lingualibre.org/sparql';
var sparql = 'SELECT ?item WHERE { ?item prop:P2 entity:Q5 } LIMIT 10';
$.getJSON(endpoint,
	{ query: sparql, format: 'json' },
	function(data){ console.log('JQuery: ',data)}
);

Merging data

Advanced SPARQL queries with COUNT() and others are often slow (>3secs, sometime >100secs). You are encouraged to do multiple smaller SPARQL queries to then merge their responded data. By example, the complementary Javascript snippet below would help web developers to do so. 

// Data from 3 sparql queries.
// Important: One key must be similar in all datasets, here: 'qid'
const langs = [{ qid: 'Q209', label: 'Breton', iso:'bre' }, { qid: 'Q21', label: 'French', iso: 'fra' }],
    speakersFemales = [{ qid: 'Q209', genderF: 3, recordsF: 60 }, { qid: 'Q21', genderF: 21, recordsF:15046 }],
    speakersMales = [{ qid: 'Q209', genderM: 7, recordsM: 112 }, { qid: 'Q21', genderM: 85, recordsM:82964 }];
// Toolbox for merging data by same id
var merge2ArraysBySameId = function(arr1,arr2,id1){
	return arr1.map( item1 => { 
  	var identical = arr2.find(obj => obj[id1] === item1[id1]); 
  	return Object.assign(identical, item1) 
  } );
}
// Mergings
var step1 = merge2ArraysBySameId(langs,speakersFemales,'qid');
var step2 = merge2ArraysBySameId(step1,speakersMales,'qid');
alert(JSON.stringify(step2))

Heavy queries

To do: do smaller sub-queries, with one COUNT() function.
