Navigating rdfs:subClassOf hierarchies to find individuals

[prashydee]

Hi @tfrancart,

I would like to be able to use subClassOf hierarchies to drill-down through classes before retrieving the corresponding individuals. The tree-selector seems to be tuned for skos:narrower / skos:broader trees. Could this also work for rdfs:subClassOf hierarchies? Ideally this would be nice to achieve in the selection of the starting class too. Is this yet possible?

Kind Regards, Prashant

Hello Prashant,

as we understand your issue, we have two different subjects :

1) It isn't possible for the moment being to drill-down through classes from the selection of the starting class (even if we've already an issue about it here cf https://github.com/sparna-git/Sparnatural/issues/351).

2) But still possible to tune the tree-selector following your structure. You'll find a few indications to do so in the documentation here : https://docs.sparnatural.eu/OWL-based-configuration-datasources.html#your-own-sparql-query-tree. Not sure it matches your need, but do tell us !

Best, Marie

TreeWidget can be used to display taxonomy of classes using these datasources:

:tree_root_personClass rdf:type owl:NamedIndividual ,
                                   <http://data.sparna.fr/ontologies/sparnatural-config-datasources#SparqlTreeRootDatasource> ;
                          <http://data.sparna.fr/ontologies/sparnatural-config-datasources#queryString> """PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
SELECT DISTINCT ?uri ?label ?hasChildren
WHERE {
  VALUES ?uri {$domain}
  ?uri rdfs:label ?label .
  FILTER(lang(?label) = '' || lang(?label) = $lang)
  BIND(true AS ?hasChildren)
}""" .

:tree_children_subClassOf rdf:type owl:NamedIndividual ,
                                   <http://data.sparna.fr/ontologies/sparnatural-config-datasources#SparqlTreeRootDatasource> ;
                          <http://data.sparna.fr/ontologies/sparnatural-config-datasources#queryString> """PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>                          
SELECT DISTINCT ?uri ?label ?hasChildren
WHERE {
  ?uri rdfs:subClassOf $node .
  ?uri rdfs:label ?label .  
  FILTER(lang(?label) = '' || lang(?label) = $lang)
  OPTIONAL {
       ?uri ^rdfs:subClassOf ?children .
  }
  BIND(IF(bound(?children),true,false) AS ?hasChildren)
}""" .

this works nice on DBPedia:

I will see if I integrate these datasources in the set of datasources provided out of the box by Sparnatural.
