Queries

Queries can be performed on data within LGBTdb using the Query service located in the list of options on the menu on the left. These queries utilize SPARQL query language. SPARQL is a recursive acronym, standing for "SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language". It expands upon relational query languages like SQL to allow for querying of RDF triplestores containing semantic triples. Semantic triples are entities codified in the form of subject–predicate–object expressions.
