Asked Claude to write a #Wikidata #SPARQL query to find video game franchises named after their main character (Sonic, Mario, Crash Bandicoot etc).
There's some problems with this query.
The first one being Q624597 is not the item 'video game character', it is 'Sean Cody', a gay pornography studio.
But, sure, wire this tech up with the ability to delete production databases, pilot drones that can kill people, make legally binding contracts, prescribe medication—what could possibly go wrong?
Am 26. Juni findet ein deutschsprachiger SPARQL Workshop für die Wikidata Community statt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Umgang mit den Daten der GND (Gemeinsamen Normdatei).

Grounding AI the webby way — Taxonomy Boot Camp London 2026 takeaways
There was a heavy focus on artificial intelligence. But what really struck me was that the semantic approaches that are preparing us for our AI future are well-established web standards that have been around for decades.https://duncanstephen.net/grounding-ai-the-webby-way-taxonomy-boot-camp-london-2026-takeaways/

fyi #bibliocon26 - to whom it may concern #ZDB #sparql

Not yet sophisticated, but I am starting to like #SparQl 😉

ok, avec une requête #SPARQL à l'arrache, j'en sors 10000 (avec image) sans douleur... - et je me suis contentée des "écrivaines"
c'est pas le choix qui manque :D
Seit Anfang 2025 habe ich mich auf Anregung von @vermessungsbibliothek etwas mehr mit #Wikidata beschäftigt: Hauptsächlich als Schlagworte für mein persönliches Blog, die dann beispielsweise in anderen Metadatenformaten (#Schema.org, #LinkedArt) zum Einsatz kommen.
Nun können diese Daten auch für Recherchen genutzt und #SPARQL-Abfragen verwendet werden. Vielleicht ist das eine Weltneuheit für statische Webseiten.
SASSY has hit a wall, part 2.
The rule engine uses SPARQL to find the data the rules are to be applied to. Blank nodes break this design.
When I first started SASSY I avoided blank nodes. As time went on I realised that generated names for nodes was going to save a lot of time, so I used them in lists and other places where names did not add any real information to the model.
My initial design for generated names was OK for toy examples, but was not going to work well for a multi-user distributed system. Hence I moved to using blank nodes that have identifiers which are mini-UUIDs.
So the early version of the rule engine worked OK since it used generated names. It is only the more recent data that uses the blank nodes, and the world fell apart.
