DebugQueries

This page contains several SPARQL-Queries to help debug the graph.

Useful Queries

A List of accessible queries, that are useful to understand the structure of the graph and identify problems, such as missing links. They can be changed as needed.

Backlinks

A query that finds all backlinks to a specific item.

Items used: Polygons (Q108)

#defaultView:Graph
PREFIX wdt: <https://graphit.ur.de/prop/direct/>
PREFIX wd: <https://graphit.ur.de/entity/>
select distinct ?subject ?subjectLabel ?item ?itemLabel { # ?property ?propertyLabel
  values (?item) {(wd:Q108)}
  ?subject ?predicate ?item .
  ?property wikibase:directClaim ?predicate
  service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}

All Items

Returns a list of all items and how they are categorized in alphabetical order. In this case categories are all items that are used to structure the graph, such as Article or Markers. This list can help spot duplicates or similiar items.

#defaultView:Table
PREFIX wdt: <https://graphit.ur.de/prop/direct/>
PREFIX wd: <https://graphit.ur.de/entity/>
select distinct ?item ?itemLabel {
  ?item ?predicate ?dependency.
  ?property wikibase:directClaim ?predicate
  service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}
order by asc(UCASE(str(?itemLabel)))

Missing Properties

Resources

No Resources

Returns all Items, that don't have any resource that they link to.

Unlinked Resources

Returns all resources, that have not been linked to any item yet.

Instance-less Resources

Returns all Resources that have no Property instance of.

Properties used: resource (P21), instance of (P3)

#defaultView:Table
PREFIX wdt: <https://graphit.ur.de/prop/direct/>
PREFIX wd: <https://graphit.ur.de/entity/>
SELECT ?resource ?resourceLabel ?instanceOf
WHERE {
  ?source wdt:P21 ?resource.
  MINUS {?resource wdt:P3 ?instanceOf}
  service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}

No Subclass

Returns all Items, that don't have a property subclass.

Properties used: depends on (P1), subclass of (P2)

#defaultView:Table
PREFIX wdt: <https://graphit.ur.de/prop/direct/>

SELECT DISTINCT ?source ?sourceLabel ?subclass 
WHERE {
  ?source wdt:P1 ?dependency.
  MINUS {?source wdt:P2 ?class. }
  
  service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}

Try it!

No Dependencies

Returns all Items, that don't link any other items as dependency.

These items don't have a property depends on. This could mean, that they are the begining of a path.

Properties used: subclass of (P2), depends on (P1)

#defaultView:Table
PREFIX wdt: <https://graphit.ur.de/prop/direct/>
PREFIX wd: <https://graphit.ur.de/entity/>
SELECT ?source ?sourceLabel ?dependency
WHERE {

  ?source wdt:P2 ?class.
  MINUS {?source wdt:P1 ?dependency.}
  
  service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}

Try it!

No Links

Returns all Graph-items, that don't link to any other items and are not linked to in return. Does not return items used to structure the graph, such as Essential

No Description

Returns all items without a description.

Properties used: subclass of (P2)

PREFIX wd: <https://graphit.ur.de/entity/>
SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?itemDescription
WHERE {
  ?item wdt:P2 ?class.
  MINUS {?item schema:description ?itemDescription }
  service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}

Try it!

No Instance

Returns all items that have no Property instance of. Shows which items are not, e.g. Applications.

#defaultView:Table
PREFIX wdt: <https://graphit.ur.de/prop/direct/>
PREFIX wd: <https://graphit.ur.de/entity/>
select distinct ?item ?itemLabel ?instance ?instanceLabel {
  
  ?item wdt:P2 ?class.
  optional { ?item wdt:P3 ?instance }
  # MINUS { ?item wdt:P3 ?instance } # Removes items with instance
  
  service wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }

WHERE {
  ?resource wdt:P20 ?url.
  ?resource rdfs:label ?resourceLabel.
