Re: ChatGPT, ontologies and SPARQL

in fact, I suspect the sparql could be made invisible
or even
it may already be implicitly hidden in the tool (my guess) and users would
not know
(which may be a good thing unless users want to dig further how/where the
source data comes from or test the result agains the kbase)

but to learn sparql, or to check it, or to refine the query, or to check
and compare query outputs from different repos, yes, great functionality to
have, thanks
