SPARQL tutorial: coming soon!

We are currently working on a detailed guide that will help you master SPARQL queries step by step so that you get the most out of our data. This tutorial will soon be available in several languages, allowing you to fully explore the richness of our platform.

In the meantime, you can already have a look at a sample of nine queries, divided into three levels of complexity, on the following page: In-depth search: examples of queries.

We also encourage you to consult external resources, such as the Wikidata tutorials, which provide an excellent introduction to SPARQL queries. Although these examples use the same software (Wikibase) as our project, note that the data and query structure are specific to Wikidata and not directly applicable to the content of Resistance in Belgium:

• Wikidata Query Service Tutorial (interactive): An interactive beginner’s tutorial that allows you to explore SPARQL queries in a practical way.
• A Gentle Introduction to the Wikidata Query Service: A simple step-by-step guide to understanding the interface and creating queries.
• Wikidata: SPARQL Tutorial: A detailed and structured SPARQL guide for those who want to dive deeper into query writing.

Finally, if you want to start creating SPARQL queries tailored to your needs, you can rely on artificial intelligence tools that can help you with the writing process.
