Question

I’m trying to query dbpedia for programming languages like D by name:

http://dbpedia.org/page/D_(programming_language)

And I figure rdfs:label is a good way to do this. But I’m having trouble coming up with syntax for searching by labels containing “D (programming language)”. In dpbedia, rdfs:labels aren’t simply strings, they’re more like lists. How do I filter for records that have a certain entry IN the rdfs:label?

Answer 1

Works in dbpedia! Based on AndyS’s answer:

SELECT DISTINCT ?lang {
    ?lang rdf:type <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/ProgrammingLanguage> .
    ?lang rdfs:label "D (programming language)"@en
}
Limit 1
