<p>spo or "subject, predicate, object" is known as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_triple" class="extiw" title="w:Semantic triple">triple</a>, or commonly referred to in Wikidata as a <b>statement</b> about data. </p><p>The statement "The United States capital is Washington DC" consists of the subject "United States" (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30" class="extiw" title="wikidata:Q30">Q30</a>), the predicate "capital is" (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/property:P36" class="extiw" title="wikidata:property:P36">P36</a>), and an object "Washington DC" (<a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q61" class="extiw" title="wikidata:Q61">Q61</a>). This statement can be represented as three URIs: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-sparql mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="nl">&lt;http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q30></span> <span class="nl">&lt;http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/P36></span> <span class="nl">&lt;http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q61></span> <span class="p">.</span> </pre></div> <p>Thanks to the prefixes (see below), the same statement can be written in a more concise form. Note the dot at the end to represent the end of the statement. </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-sparql mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="nn">wd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">Q30</span> <span class="nn">wdt</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">P36</span> <span class="nn">wd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">Q61</span> <span class="p">.</span> </pre></div> <p>The <b>/entity/</b> (<b>wd:</b>) represents Wikidata entity (Q-number values). The <b>/prop/direct/</b> (<b>wdt:</b>) is a "truthy" property — a value we would expect most often when looking at the statement. The truthy properties are needed because some statements could be "truer" than others. For example, the statement "The capital of U.S. is New York City" is true — but only in the historical context of the year 1790. WDQS uses rank to determine which statements should be used as "truthy". </p><p>In addition to the truthy statements, WDQS stores all statements (both truthy and not), but they don't use the same <b>wdt:</b> prefix. <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30#P36" class="extiw" title="wikidata:Q30">U.S. capital</a> has three values: DC, Philadelphia, and New York. And each of these values have "qualifiers" - additional information, such as start and end dates, that narrows down the scope of each statement. To store this information in the triplestore, WDQS introduces an automatic "statement" subject, which is essentially a random number: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-sparql mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="nn">wd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">Q30</span> <span class="nn">p</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">P36</span> <span class="nl">&lt;random_URI_1></span> <span class="p">.</span> <span class="c"># US "indirect capital" is &lt;X></span> <span class="nl">&lt;random_URI_1></span> <span class="nn">ps</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">P36</span> <span class="nn">wd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">Q61</span> <span class="p">.</span> <span class="c"># The X's "real capital value" is Washington DC</span> <span class="nl">&lt;random_URI_1></span> <span class="nn">pq</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">P580</span> <span class="s">"1800-11-17"</span> <span class="p">.</span> <span class="c"># The X's start date is 1800-11-17</span> </pre></div> <p>See <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL_tutorial#Qualifiers" class="extiw" title="wikidata:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL tutorial">SPARQL tutorial - qualifiers</a> for more information. </p><p>spo is also used as a form of basic syntax layout for querying <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework" class="extiw" title="w:Resource Description Framework">RDF</a> data structures, or any graph database or triplestore, such as the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS), which is powered by Blazegraph, a high performance graph database. </p><p>Advanced uses of a triple (spo) even including using triples as objects or subjects of other triples! </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Basics_-_Understanding_Prefixes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Basics_-_Understanding_Prefixes"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Basics_-_Understanding_Prefixes"></span>Basics - Understanding Prefixes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Basics_-_Understanding_Prefixes"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Basics_-_Understanding_Prefixes","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>The subjects and predicates (first and second values of the triple) must always be stored as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier" class="extiw" title="w:Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</a>. For example, if the subject is <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1" class="extiw" title="wikidata:Q1">Universe (Q1)</a>, it will be stored as <b>&lt;https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1></b>. Prefixes allow us to write that long URI in a shorter form: <b>wd:Q1</b>. Unlike subjects and predicates, the object (triple's third value) can be either a URI or a literal, e.g. a number or a string. </p><p>WDQS understands many shortcut abbreviations, known as prefixes.

The service is very helpful when you want to retrieve labels, as it reduces the complexity of SPARQL queries that you would otherwise need to achieve the same effect. </p><p>The service can be used in one of the two modes: manual and automatic. </p><p>In automatic mode, you only need to specify the service template, e.g.: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-sparql mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="k">PREFIX</span> <span class="nn">wikibase</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="nl">&lt;http://wikiba.se/ontology#></span> <span class="k">SERVICE</span> <span class="nn">wikibase</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">label</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="nn">bd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">serviceParam</span> <span class="nn">wikibase</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">language</span> <span class="s">"en"</span> <span class="p">.</span> <span class="p">}</span> </pre></div> <p>and WDQS will automatically generate labels as follows: </p> <ul><li>If an unbound variable in <code>SELECT</code> is named <code>?<i>NAME</i>Label</code>, then WDQS produces the label (<code>rdfs:label</code>) for the entity in variable <code>?<i>NAME</i></code>.</li> <li>If an unbound variable in <code>SELECT</code> is named <code>?<i>NAME</i>AltLabel</code>, then WDQS produces the alias (<code>skos:altLabel</code>) for the entity in variable <code>?<i>NAME</i></code>.</li> <li>If an unbound variable in <code>SELECT</code> is named <code>?<i>NAME</i>Description</code>, then WDQS produces the description (<code>schema:description</code>) for the entity in variable <code>?<i>NAME</i></code>.</li></ul> <p>In each case, the variable in <code>?<i>NAME</i></code> should be bound, otherwise the service fails. </p><p>Automatic mode only inspects the projection of the query – for instance, in <code>SELECT ?aLabel (GROUP_CONCAT(?bLabel) AS ?bLabels)</code>, only the first label is recognized, and <code>SELECT *</code> is not supported by automatic mode at all. In such cases, you will need to use manual mode (see below). </p><p>You specify your preferred language(s) for the label with one or more of <code>bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "<i>language-code</i>"</code> triples. Each string can contain one or more language codes, separated by commas. WDQS considers languages in the order in which you specify them. If no label is available in any of the specified languages, the Q-id of the entity (without any prefix) is its label. </p><p>The Wikidata Query Service website automatically replaces <code>[AUTO_LANGUAGE]</code> with the language code of current user's interface. For example, if the user's UI is in French, the SPARQL's code <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-sparql mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><span class="nn">bd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">serviceParam</span> <span class="nn">wikibase</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">language</span> <span class="s">"[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en"</span></code> will be converted to <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-sparql mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><span class="nn">bd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">serviceParam</span> <span class="nn">wikibase</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">language</span> <span class="s">"fr,en"</span></code> before being sent to the query service. </p><p>Example, showing the list of US presidents and their spouses: </p> <div class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-sparql mw-content-ltr" dir="ltr"><pre><span></span><span class="k">SELECT</span> <span class="nv">?p</span> <span class="nv">?pLabel</span> <span class="nv">?w</span> <span class="nv">?wLabel</span> <span class="k">WHERE</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="nn">wd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">Q30</span> <span class="nn">p</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">P6</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nn">ps</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">P6</span> <span class="nv">?p</span> <span class="p">.</span> <span class="nv">?p</span> <span class="nn">wdt</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">P26</span> <span class="nv">?w</span> <span class="p">.</span> <span class="k">SERVICE</span> <span class="nn">wikibase</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">label</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="nn">bd</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">serviceParam</span> <span class="nn">wikibase</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nt">language</span> <span class="s">"en"</span> <span class="p">.</span> <span class="p">}</span> <span class="p">}</span> </pre></div> <p><a class="external text" href="https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%3Fp%20%3FpLabel%20%3Fw%20%3FwLabel%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%20wd%3AQ30%20p%3AP6%2Fps%3AP6%20%3Fp%20.%0A%20%20%20%3Fp%20wdt%3AP26%20%3Fw%20.%0A%20%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22en%22%20.%0A%20%20%20%7D%0A%20%7D">Try it!</a> </p><p>In this example WDQS automatically creates the labels <code>?pLabel</code> and <code>?wLabel</code> for properties. </p><p>In the manual mode, you explicitly bind the label variables within the service call, but WDQS will still provide language resolution and fallback.

Going to this URL will put the query in the edit window, but will <b>not</b> run it - you still have to click "Execute" for that. </p><p>One can also generate a short URL for the query via a URL shortening service by clicking the "Generate short URL" link on the right - this will produce the shortened URL for the current query. </p><p>The "Add prefixes" button generates the header containing standard prefixes for SPARQL queries. The full list of prefixes that can be useful is listed in the <a href="/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/RDF_Dump_Format#Full_list_of_prefixes" title="Wikibase/Indexing/RDF Dump Format">RDF format documentation</a>.
