Hi, > So i can only do queries using properties like owl:sameAS, :differentFrom, :subClass, transitive..... to object like rdfs:label, and... ?x ???? Besides the fact that "rdfs:label" is a property: essentially yes. The main point is stated by Lee (SPARQL expert in contrast to me): > you have to write your query against the raw RDF triples that encode your OWL model. Again I recommend that you have a look at your OWL-file in an RDF vizualizer: There you see how OWL is encoded by raw RDF triples.

I have this class in the ontology,that have the property someValues can i do a query that ask wich are the ingredients that "ChickenWithOnions" have? <owl:Class rdf:ID="ChickenWithOnions"> <rdfs:label rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"; >Chicken With Onions</rdfs:label> (add the label) <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#Plates"/> <rdfs:subClassOf> <owl:Restriction> <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="#hasIngridients"/> <owl:someValuesFrom> <owl:Class> <owl:intersectionOf rdf:parseType="Collection"> <owl:Class rdf:about="#Chicken"/> <owl:Class rdf:about="#Onion"/> </owl:intersectionOf> </owl:Class> </owl:someValuesFrom> </owl:Restriction> </rdfs:subClassOf> </owl:Class> the query should be this... (wrong tried and nothing, i'm doing again the same mistake right?) SELECT ?plate ?ingredient WHERE { ?plate owl:hasIngridients ?ingredient. ?plate rdfs:label "Chicken With Onions" . } so the only property that i can use is the ones that says "rdfs:...." ??? 2009/6/12 Dau, Frithjof <[email protected]> Hi Samuel, with SPARQL you can essentially query subgraphs of a given graph. In your "OWL-graph", you have a node "...#Meat". With SPARQL, you can query other nodes and the properties which relate these nodes to you "...#Meat"-node. Anyhow, the only property which relates your "...#Meat"-node to ther nodes is the "rdfs:subClassOf"-property, relating your "...#Meat"-node to its super- and subclasses (depending on whether your "...#Meat"-node is the subject or object of a (x rdfs:subClassOf y) triple). I guess what you have in mind is something like: The class is called "Meat", so let's query for that name. Nope, does not work. The name of the class is a part of the node-URI, and you cannot query parts of these -let's say- URI-string. So, if you want to query classes by its names, you *must* make the name in the ontology explicit by using a property. The most common approach is the "rdfs:label"-attribute. Iy you use it -and you do it for your "...#Pig"-class, you explicitely relate the name "Pig" (a literal) to the class by the rdfs:label-property. Now you have the situation that the class is linked to its name by use of nodes and properties, and thus you can query it. I sugges you have a look at your ontology with an RDF-visualizer (like IsaViz), keep in mind that you can only query for graph patterns, and then you will hopefully understand why your initial query does not work.

"but I think it's pretty likely that your classes are resources (URIs)" how i know that? 2009/6/12 Stephane Corlosquet <[email protected]> Hi Samuel, You cannot use ?meatClass owl:Class "Pig" in your WHERE clause because it is not a valid pattern. You should follow the {subject property object} pattern in your WHERE clause. owl:Class is a class and not a property. Stephane.

SELECT ?subject ?object WHERE { ?subject owl:equivalenteClass ?object FILTER( ?object != "Meat") } i get all the equivalent class that there is in the owl. why? Without seeing your data, it's hard to say for sure, but I think it's pretty likely that your classes are resources (URIs) and "Meat" is just a label for the class. If this is right, you probably want a query similar to: SELECT ?equivalentClass ?meatClass WHERE { ?equivalentClass owl:equivalentClass ?meatClass . ?meatClass rdfs:label "Meat" . } The details will vary depending on what predicate is used to give a label to your classes (in my example I assume that it's rdfs:label). Also, note that the label needs to be exactly "Meat" for this to work. hope this helps, Lee -- -- Samuel Pedro -- -- Samuel Pedro -- -- Samuel Pedro
