Sample queries

Instance count

To get an overview of what's in the BBP, the following query will return a count of all of the different instances, such as works, people, and places.

SELECT ?typeLabel (count(distinct ?x) as ?count)
WHERE
{
  ?x wdt:P8 ?type .
  ?type rdfs:label ?typeLabel.
  FILTER((LANG(?typeLabel)) = "en")
}
group by ?type ?typeLabel
order by desc(?count)

Try it out!
