Use our instance at: http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql or http://lod.openlinksw.com/isparql (*note this instance is a little volatile due to some ongoing maintenance*). Simple example: ###Stuff around Notre Dame de Paris PREFIX lgv: <http://linkedgeodata.org/vocabulary#> SELECT ?s ?cn ?lat ?long WHERE { ?s lgv:name ?cn . ?s geo:geometry ?geo . ?s geo:lat ?lat. ?s geo:long ?long. filter (bif:st_intersects (?geo, bif:st_point (2.3498, 48.853), 0.3)) } LIMIT 20 More intricate example: ## describe churches within 5 km of Paris that have Cafes in close proximity(0.2 km) PREFIX lgv: <http://linkedgeodata.org/vocabulary#> describe ?cafe ?church WHERE { ?church a lgv:place_of_worship . ?church geo:geometry ?churchgeo . ?church lgv:name ?churchname . ?cafe a lgv:cafe . ?cafe lgv:name ?cafename . ?cafe geo:geometry ?cafegeo . ?cafe geo:lat ?lat. ?cafe geo:long ?long. FILTER (bif:st_intersects (?churchgeo, bif:st_point (2.3498, 48.853), 5) && bif:st_intersects (?cafegeo, ?churchgeo, 0.2)) } LIMIT 100 Links: 1. http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/oerling/weblog/Orri%20Erling%27s%20Blog/1587 -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
