Re: SPARQL queries property or class from a schema

Hi Jitao,

If working with property labels instead of names will work for you,
the query below might be worth considering.

When I run the query below with ARQ 2.8.8, I feed ARQ with two data
files, like thus:

arq --data jitao.ttl --data index.rdf --query jitao2.rq

jitao.ttl is your data, index.rdf contains the FOAF ontology.

The result is:
-----------------
| propertyLabel |
=================
| "name"        |
-----------------

It's a coincidence that, in this case,  the property label is the same
as the property name.

Not all ontologies have such useful labels for properties,
but if the work to add needed labels yourself is not too much,
this approach might be worth considering ...

Here is the query:
PREFIX foaf:   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>

SELECT ?propertyLabel

WHERE{
    ?x ?p  "Peter Goodguy".
    ?p rdfs:label ?propertyLabel
}
