Overview

Entering SPARQL queries

SPARQL is a query language for RDF-based systems such as Vitro and VIVO.  Using SPARQL one can extract any information from VIVO or Vitro, producing reports, or providing data for other software such as visualizations or user interfaces.

Running SPARQL queries

To run a SPARQL query, navigate to Site Admin > Sparql query.  You will see a page similar to the one below.  Note that the text is in various colors.  VIVO uses the YASQE editor for SPARQL.
