Query for Things #187

Closed twalmsley closed 7 months ago

twalmsley commented 7 months ago

The recent new SPARQL query service could do with an equivalent that returns a List<Thing>.

The general case for SPARQL is that the result set can be of any shape, but a query-for-things service would be restricted to:

having 3 columns for the subject, predicate, and object, with any names but they must be in that order. E.g.
```
SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE {...} order by ?s ?p ?o
```
The first column must contain entity IDs.
The second column must contain predicates.
The third column can contain IRIs or primitive values.
The result will be a List<Thing>
