Basic Examples  (1)

Wolfram Language code: Needs["GraphStore`"]

Specify a graph of data about people:

Wolfram Language code: foaf[s_] := URL["http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" <> s]; ex[s_] := URL["http://example.org/" <> s];
Wolfram Language code: personGraph = RDFStore[{ RDFTriple[ex["person1"], foaf["givenName"], "Tony"], RDFTriple[ex["person1"], foaf["familyName"], "Schindler"], RDFTriple[ex["person2"], foaf["givenName"], "Alex"], RDFTriple[ex["person2"], foaf["familyName"], "Hartich"] }];

Change all given names from "Tony" to "Toni":

Wolfram Language code: personGraph = personGraph//SPARQLDeleteInsert[ RDFTriple[SPARQLVariable["person"], foaf["givenName"], "Tony"], RDFTriple[SPARQLVariable["person"], foaf["givenName"], "Toni"], RDFTriple[SPARQLVariable["person"], foaf["givenName"], "Tony"] ]

Retrieve all given names:

Wolfram Language code: personGraph//SPARQLSelect[RDFTriple[SPARQLVariable["person"], foaf["givenName"], SPARQLVariable["givenName"]] -> "givenName"]
