Count entities without labels

Info
titleOutdated

This material pertains to outdated versions of VIVO. Rather than archiving the material, it should be updated to reflect current versions of VIVO.

These examples show how to count the entities in your VIVO that do not have labels.  In each query, the entities of interest are selected using type, then OPTIONAL is used to include entities with and without labels, FILTER is used to select only those results for which there is no label value, that is, ?label is not bound.

The resulting collection of entities is counted using COUNT(DISTINCT ?s) in the SELECT statement.

The same pattern can be used to count grants (vivo:Grant), organizations (foaf:Organization), or people (foaf:Person) with labels.

Code Block
titleCount agents without labels
SELECT count(COUNT(DISTINCT ?s) AS ?count)
WHERE {
    ?s rdf:type foaf:Agent .
    OPTIONAL {?s rdfs:label ?label .}
    FILTER(!bound(?label))
}


Code Block
titleCount positions information resources without labels
SELECT count(COUNT(DISTINCT ?s) AS ?count)
WHERE {
    ?s rdf:type vivo:PositionInformationResource .
    OPTIONAL {?s rdfs:label ?label .}
	    FILTER(!bound(?label))
}

Using a nested query to get multiple counts

The above queries can be combined in a single query which returns multiple counts.

SELECT ?count_agents ?count_information_resources
WHERE {
    {
    SELECT (COUNT(SELECT count(DISTINCT ?s) AS ?count_agents)
    WHERE {
        ?s rdf:type vivofoaf:PositionAgent .
        OPTIONAL {?s rdfs:label ?label .}
	        FILTER(!bound(?label))
}
Code Block
titleCount publications without labels
SELECT count    }
    }


    {
    SELECT (COUNT(DISTINCT ?s) AS ?count_information_resources)
    WHERE {
        ?s rdf:type vivo:InformationResource .
        OPTIONAL {?s rdfs:label ?label .}
        FILTER(!bound(?label))
    }
