Add Default Queries #2

Closed situx closed 4 years ago

situx commented 5 years ago

It would be a good idea to add default queries to the plugin. This requires:

  1. A query to find out some/all geospatial concepts of a triple store, sth. like this: SELECT DISTINCT ?class WHERE{ ?item wdt:P31 ?class. ?item wdt:P625 ?coord.} Could be a performance issue though.

  2. A query to select some/all direct properties of individuals of the class in a certain area as a default query. Input: Concept (from previous query), boundingbox or concept like country, language select ?rel ?relLabel WHERE { ?con wdt:P31 CONCEPT . ?con wdt:P625 ?coord . ?con wdt:P17 AREA . (or Boundingbox query part) ?con ?rel ?val . SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language LANGUAGE . } } GROUP BY ?rel ?relLabel ORDER BY ?relLabel

Ideally, a user could choose or search a list of geospatial concepts of the respective triple store and with the provision of boundingbox or country get a GeoJSON layer into QGIS. This would increase the accessibility of the plugin to users who are not able to write SPARQL.

Yes, we should implement sth like that. In the spirit of the SPARQLing Unicorn
