Another way to get more out of your data.
As with SQL, SPARQL’s most popular verb is SELECT. It lets you request the data you want from a collection, whether you’re asking for a single phone number or you want a list of first and last names and phone numbers of all employees hired after January 1st, sorted by last name.
Or consider it a lazy semweb wish.
I’ve been looking for a SPARQL endpoint that provides new data fairly regularly—not just new triples to query, but data that is new to the world, such as from a stock ticker feed. If the RDFa on digg.com pages was accumulated in a database that could be queried as a SPARQL endpoint, that would certainly qualify, and it would be fun to play with.
