AW: DBLP Sparql Endpoint

hm, yes. it’s really strange, because the following query proves that i can get authors with names, that do not start with an ‘A’:

SELECT DISTINCT * WHERE {
?a a foaf:Agent .
?a foaf:name ?n .
FILTER (?n = "Tuan-Dat Trinh")
}
LIMIT 10

so the store seems to be complete, but i can not lookup these names via REGEX.

uhm, maybe some configuration limit on the server?

SELECT COUNT(?a)
WHERE {
?a a foaf:Agent .
?a foaf:name ?n .
}

returns 10000

Hm, yes, but if I increase the LIMIT, I still only get results of people starting with ‘A’. I think there’s something wrong with the Endpoint, because it only provides authors whose names start with an ‘A’.

Try the following query, which returns all names starting not (!) with an ‘A’, which confirms my hypothesis of only names starting with an ‘A’ (+ two names starting with a paranthesis):

SELECT DISTINCT * WHERE {
?a a foaf:Agent .
?a foaf:name ?n FILTER(!regex(str(?n),'^A','i')).
}
ORDER BY DESC(?n)
LIMIT 5000

I don’t know why the data of this endpoint seems to be incomplete. It’s a pity, because it makes the whole endpoint useless.

Maybe some of you know SPARQL-Endpoints for papers/publications, besides this one and Rkbexplorer? Rkbexplorer has its own URI for each author of each paper, so there are a lot of duplicates, which is not useful for my case.

Best regards and thanks for your advice,
Peter

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...

Dear all!

I would like to use the DBLP Sparql Endpoint at [1] to retrieve publications of authors by REGEX Search. This, however, seems not to work as expected.

This query returns authors starting with an “A”:
SELECT DISTINCT * WHERE {
?a a foaf:Agent .
?a foaf:name ?n .
FILTER  regex(?n, '^a', 'i')
}
LIMIT 10

This query should return authors starting with a “B”:

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

This does not return any results, and I don’t know why. Actually, it’s not working with any other letter except “A”. What I simply want to do is, to search for authos based on an input string.

Maybe, somone of you can help.

Thanks in advance,
Peter
