Re: [sparql-wrapper-devel] Query bad formed

Mariano:

There is a period after the first URI in the graph pattern, which is only supposed to come after a complete triple pattern:

u"\n        SELECT * WHERE {\n          <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tim_Cook>.\n          ?x dbpedia-owl:abstract ?abstract.\n           OPTIONAL { ?x dbpedia-owl:birthDate ?birthDate. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpedia-owl:birthPlace ?birthPlace. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpprop:name ?name. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpedia-owl:profession ?profession. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpprop:residence ?residence. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpprop:website ?website.\n          FILTER (LANG(?abstract) = 'en')\n        }\n    "

Subject: [sparql-wrapper-devel] Query bad formed

I'm trying to build a sparql query based on a list of properties but I get an error saying that the query is bad formed. The problem is I don't know what to do to fix it.

This is the function:

    def create_query(dbpedia_uri, props):
        #props are something like this ('dbpedia-owl', 'birthdate')
        filters = ''

        for prop in QUERIES_DICT[ename]:
            filters += ' OPTIONAL { ?x %s:%s ?%s.' % (corresp_dict[prop[0]], prop[1], prop[1])

        query = u"""
            SELECT * WHERE {
    .          <%s>.
              ?x dbpedia-owl:abstract ?abstract.
              %s
              FILTER (LANG(?abstract) = 'en')
            }
        """ % (dbpedia_uri, filters)

        return query

This is the query I get:

    u"\n        SELECT * WHERE {\n          <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tim_Cook>.\n          ?x dbpedia-owl:abstract ?abstract.\n           OPTIONAL { ?x dbpedia-owl:birthDate ?birthDate. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpedia-owl:birthPlace ?birthPlace. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpprop:name ?name. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpedia-owl:profession ?profession. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpprop:residence ?residence. OPTIONAL { ?x dbpprop:website ?website.\n          FILTER (LANG(?abstract) = 'en')\n        }\n    "
