Example 1: Find 25 first triples in the data set
SELECT $s $p $o WHERE { $s $p $o } LIMIT 25
Example 2: Triples whit skos:relatedMatch as predicate, showing connection between dk5 og dewey
Query Text:
PREFIX skos:<http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#> SELECT $s $p $o WHERE { $s $p $o . $s skos:relatedMatch $o ; }
Example 3: Triples showing DK5 notations with relation to Dewey class 741
Query Text:
PREFIX skos:<http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos#> SELECT $s $p $o WHERE { $s $p $o ; skos:relatedMatch $o ; skos:relatedMatch <http://dewey.info/class/741/> }
Current Status
The current contribution represents a work in progress.
At this time, the dataset is not guaranteed to be stable; its contents may change at any time without warning as a part of ongoing development.
It is our intention to refresh the dataset on a regular basis. We are continuing to work on resolving some known issues (see below) and we welcome further constructive feedback on work to date. Please let us know what you think by contacting us by email at st@dbc.dk
Known issues
The DK5 URI's are not yet dereferencable.
The links between DK5 and Dewey are only at the upper levels of the hierarchies.
