Mohamed,
Thanks so much! That was very helpful, and I now have most of what I
needed.
The remaining thing is somewhat similar -- just to get entries in a
particular language anywhere in Europe.
Simply substituting Europe as the region does not work. I imagine there
might be some way to get the list of European countries and filter on
membership in the list.
Thanks again!
Liam

Hi --
I'm new to RDF and dbpedia. I'm trying to determine if I will be
able to use dbpedia in a project I am involved with.
The question I need a quick answer to is how many Places there are,
organized by language and location, as that has a bearing on whether
we may use dbpedia. It seems like a SPARQL query should almost give
me this, but I'm not sure if I can get the count -- it looks like
it's not possible, or only possible with certain SPARQL extensions?
(Also, I'm not sure how to formulate the query even without the count
issue.)
Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting the following
statistics on dbpedia content?
* How many Places are there for a given language?
The following query lists all places for the English language (en) as
an example:
select ?place ?placeName
where {?place a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place>.
?place rdfs:label ?placeName. filter(langMatches(
lang(?placeName), "en" ))} limit 1000
In order to get the count please use the following one:
select count(?place)
where {?place a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place>.
?place rdfs:label ?placeName. filter(langMatches(
lang(?placeName), "en" ))}
You can replace the English language code (en) with the code you want
e.g. "de" for German and "it" for Italian.
* How many Places are there for a given region?
The following query lists all places in Germany as an example:
select ?place ?placeName
where { ?place ?p ?region.
?place a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place>.
filter(?p = <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/country> && ?region =
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Germany>) .
?place rdfs:label ?placeName. } limit 1000
In order to get the count please use the following one:
select ?count(place)
where { ?place ?p ?region.
?place a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place>.
filter(?p = <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/country> && ?region =
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Germany>) .
?place rdfs:label ?placeName. }
You can replace Germany with another country of interest, e.g.
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Italy> for Italy.
* And the combination of the above two queries: how many Places
are there for a given region in a given language?
The following query lists all places in Germany for the English
language (en) as an example:
select ?place ?placeName
where { ?place ?p ?region.
?place a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place>. filter(?p =
<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/country> && ?region =
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Germany>) .
?place rdfs:label ?placeName. filter(langMatches(
lang(?placeName), "en" )) } limit 1000
In order to get the count please use the following one:
select count(?place)
where { ?place ?p ?region.
?place a <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/Place>. filter(?p =
<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/country> && ?region =
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Germany>) .
?place rdfs:label ?placeName. filter(langMatches(
lang(?placeName), "en" )) }
And one last important note, please note that the queries containing
count may timeout, as the function count is somewhat heavy.
The languages and regions of interest are
German in Germany
French in France
Italian in Italy
English in the UK
Dutch in the Netherlands and Belgium
Spanish in Spain
You can try out those combinations yourself :)
Hope that constitutes a nice guide for you.
Thanks in advance for any help!
