Hi William,

I think you comment is right.
I am so used that the url of SPARQL endpoint will lead me to a webpage
where I can enter a sample query that I misread the message of
the publicdata.eu sparql endpoint.

kind regards,

Re: [public-lod2] Official DBpedia Live Release

Nice :)

Quick question: on the basis of point 6, will resources in the main
http://dbpedia.org/ namespace soon reflect the latest changes from
DBpedia Live? Presumably at this point the separate live.dbpedia
SPARQL endpoint would become redundant?

Also, and not wanting to poor petrol on the flames of any current
debates, but, the links at [1] under "20 Most Recently Updated
Entities" point to the dbpedia /page/ URIs, not the /resource/ URIs.
I'm guessing this isn't the intended behaviour ;)

Re: [public-lod2] [lod2] OpenDataChallenge.org winners announced and PublicData.eu beta launched at Digital Agenda Assembly

It is usually nice to put up a snorql (nice little html+js thing
by cygri) in front of the endpoint, say at /snorql/ so that people
can point their web browsers at it and try queries.

For example, see http://semantic.ckan.net/snorql/

The (perfectly reasonable) 500 error that 4s-httpd gives you when
you don't supply a query is confusing to some people (thinking
about it, it should robably be a 400 actually, but that would
still be confusing...)

Re: [public-lod2] [lod2] OpenDataChallenge.org winners announced and PublicData.eu beta launched at Digital Agenda Assembly

Hi Bert,

thanks for your message. While accessing the SPARQL endpoint without a
request will get you a HTTP 500 error (no query), the thing itself
seems to work:

>>> from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON
>>> sparql = SPARQLWrapper("http://publicdata.eu/rdf/sparql")
>>> sparql.setQuery("""SELECT * WHERE { ?a <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/ns/dcat#Dataset> . }""")
>>> sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)
>>> results = sparql.query().convert()
>>> len(results['results']['bindings'])
20000

Can you perhaps detail on the problem a bit? I realize that this
doesn't have a query interface like many other linked data sites but
quite frankly I don't understand the fascination with these things:
less than a percent of the site users will know how to use a SPARQL
interface and for those programmatic access is much more relevant than
a HTML UI. Nobody offers SQL prompts on their normal applications,
either.
