This example shows a SPARQL query that retrieves data about English musicians born in Exeter from DBPedia, returning their names, birth dates, and English-language descriptions. The query uses the DBPedia ontology and property vocabulary (such as `dbo:birthPlace` and `dbpedia:Exeter`) along with standard RDF and FOAF predicates. It filters descriptions by language using `FILTER (LANG(?description) = 'en')` to ensure English results. The query relies on the SPARQL endpoint’s built-in support for DBPedia’s RDF triples, with no additional visualization library involved.

Simple DBpedia SPARQL Query

This example demonstrates a SPARQL query against DBpedia, retrieving titles, publication dates, and page counts for books authored by David Foster Wallace. The query uses the `d:` and `dbpedia2:` namespace prefixes to access DBpedia ontology and property data, with results ordered by publication date. The code defines a `PREFIX` for the DBpedia ontology and a `SELECT` clause that binds three variables—`?title`, `?pubDate`, and `?pages`—from matching book resources. It relies on DBpedia’s SPARQL endpoint and standard RDF predicates like `rdfs:label` to fetch the displayed fields. The visualization itself is not shown in the snippet; only the query logic and data-fetching structure are provided.

SPARQL queries for the Semantic Web Working Group

This example shows three SPARQL queries that explore the Wikidata knowledge graph. One query counts paintings containing cats versus dogs to test a hypothesis about which animal appears more frequently. Another generates an ImageGrid view of Rembrandt’s artworks using the defaultView directive, while a third lists Spanish painters and sample images of their work. The queries use standard SPARQL syntax with property paths (wdt:P135/wdt:P279?), label service calls, and BIND for computed values. Results render directly in Wikidata’s query service interface.

Oxford Dictionary API, Part III

This example demonstrates how to query the Oxford Dictionary API using XQuery, first retrieving definitions for a specified word and then fetching a list of rare art-related terms. The code uses the `http:send-request` function with custom `http:request` and `http:header` elements to authenticate and call the API endpoints. It relies on XQuery 3.1 features, including local functions and the `fn:data()` function to extract definition text, numbering each result sequentially. The data source is the live Oxford Dictionaries API, accessed via its REST endpoints.

Steve Baskauf's SPARQL query for ORCIDs at Vanderbilt

This visualization identifies people who are both students and employees at Vanderbilt by querying ORCID data with SPARQL, then displays their names and works as a network. It shows the overlapping creators between the two groups before revealing individual contributors. The code uses a SPARQL query with `MINUS` clauses to filter statuses and `ORDER BY` family name, running against a Vanderbilt ORCID graph. The rendering relies on standard SPARQL result processing, with no external visualization library specified; the output is a simple tabular or list-based view of the matched names and works.

A simple Shakespeare search tool in eXist-db

This example shows a simple full-text search interface for Shakespeare’s plays, returning matching lines from a TEI-encoded corpus. The page uses an XQuery script that queries an eXist-db database via the `ft:query` function, which performs full-text search on `<tei:l>` elements. A plain HTML form submits a query parameter, and the results are rendered as `<p>` elements. The code relies on eXist-db’s request and collection APIs, along with the `output` serialization options for HTML5, but does not use any client-side JavaScript libraries or advanced rendering techniques.

DBPedia Ontology Viz

This visualization displays a hierarchical subset of the DBPedia ontology, a taxonomy of classes categorizing Wikipedia articles, as a circle packing diagram. Circles are nested to show class relationships, with color based on depth and gradients creating a 3D sphere effect. Users can pan, zoom, and click any circle to open a SPARQL query listing related Wikipedia articles. The code uses d3.js functions like `stratify`, `pack`, and `zoom` to compute the layout and interactions, with data loaded from a provided CSV file.

Query across collections in ExistDB

This example shows how a single XQuery query can aggregate and expose metadata from multiple Shakespearean text collections stored in an eXist-db database. The query uses the `fn:collection()` function to traverse the `db/shakespeare` path, selecting all `tei:seriesStmt` elements from the TEI namespace, which describe series-level publication information. The visualization renders the resulting XML as a structured graph, with nodes and edges built from the query output using D3.js’s `d3.forceSimulation` for layout. The concrete approach relies on eXist-db’s native XQuery engine to fetch and return the TEI data, which is then parsed and bound to visual elements, demonstrating a direct pipeline from database query to interactive graphic.

Simple example of retrieving a record in EAD (or Dublin Core) from the Archives Hub using SRU

This example demonstrates how to retrieve a single metadata record from the Archives Hub using the SRU (Search/Retrieval via URL) protocol, converting it into a specified format such as EAD or Dublin Core. It shows a live HTTP query to the Archives Hub API, where the user can adjust the search keyword and the desired metadata schema (e.g., "ead", "srw_dc", or "oai_dc"). The code uses XQuery 3.0 with the `http:send-request` function to fetch the XML response, then extracts the record data via the SRU namespace. The result is the raw metadata record, ready for display or further processing.
