Sample queries

Until we can update the Query Service to include our own sample queries, let's list those here...

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!
