Re: DBLP Sparql Endpoint

Hi for me seems to work, for example using instead:

SELECT DISTINCT * WHERE {
?a a foaf:Agent .
?a foaf:name ?n .
FILTER  regex(?n, '^(.+\\s+)*b', 'i')
}
LIMIT 10

I obtain as the first threee results the following ones:
"(Zhou) Bryan Bai"
"A-Reum Bae"
"A. A. (Louis) Beex"

If you want to work with surname the problem is related to the fact that
all the data (name, surname) are in the foaf:name field, so that the only
way seems to use a more specific regex, for example excluding the first
part which can be something like "A. ", "B. A." or similar...
