[public-lod2] [lod2] OpenDataChallenge.org winners announced and PublicData.eu beta launched at Digital Agenda Assembly

[Friedrich Lindenberg]

Hi Bert,

thanks for your message. While accessing the SPARQL endpoint without a
request will get you a HTTP 500 error (no query), the thing itself
seems to work:

>>> from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON
>>> sparql = SPARQLWrapper("http://publicdata.eu/rdf/sparql")
>>> sparql.setQuery("""SELECT * WHERE { ?a <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/ns/dcat#Dataset> . }""")
>>> sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)
>>> results = sparql.query().convert()
>>> len(results['results']['bindings'])
20000

Can you perhaps detail on the problem a bit? I realize that this
doesn't have a query interface like many other linked data sites but
quite frankly I don't understand the fascination with these things:
less than a percent of the site users will know how to use a SPARQL
interface and for those programmatic access is much more relevant than
a HTML UI. Nobody offers SQL prompts on their normal applications,
either.

- Friedrich
