A collection of example sparql queries for use with the British National Bibliography Linked Data
The British National Bibliography (BNB) is a bibliographic database that contains information on a wide range of books and serial publications that have been published in the UK and Ireland since the 1950s. The database is available under a public domain license and can be accessed via an online API.
This project contains a number of sample SPARQL queries for working with the British National Bibliography Linked Data.
The public SPARQL endpoint for the dataset can be found at:
http://bnb.data.bl.uk/sparql
This documentation provides access to a number of sample queries which have been tested against the live dataset and are known to return useful results.
The original source for the queries can be found on github.
