Wikidata:SPARQL query service/Federated queries

The SPARQL service can also include data retrieved from a limited number of external sources.

For example, the following query tries to find a value for TOID (P3120) from the UK Ordnance Survey for items that have a GSS code (2011) (P836) but no TOID (P3120):

SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?gss ?os_toid WHERE {
  	?item p:P836 ?gss_stmt .
    ?gss_stmt ps:P836 ?gss .
    FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?gss_stmt pq:P582 [] } .
    FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?item wdt:P3120 [] } .
  
    SERVICE <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/datasets/os-linked-data/apis/sparql> {
      ?os_toid <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/gssCode> ?gss
    }
    SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}

Try it!

This is achieved by the section

SERVICE <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/datasets/os-linked-data/apis/sparql> { 
    ... 
}

which tells WDQS to submit a query to the SPARQL service ("endpoint") provided by the Ordnance Survey at the above URL.

The OS SPARQL service uses the same SPARQL query language as WDQS, but the triples in its database have a different vocabulary of subjects, predicates and objects -- described on its website, and/or on pages for particular items.

Of relevance for this query, the OS database contains triples connecting OS TOIDs and GSS values of the form

?os_toid <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/admingeo/gssCode> ?gss

These are retrieved by the federated query above, and joined with the list of items with GSS values that have no existing TOIDs.

(Aside: This query has been used to fill in TOID values that were previously missing, so may now return few or no results. In general, however, care should be taken before adding information from such databases to Wikidata. While it is probably okay to add identifiers to enable linking to items in the external databases, in many cases the federated databases are not licensed CC0, so content from them may not be copied wholesale into Wikidata -- federated query results are allowed, however, so long as the licensing terms of the external databases are acknowledged.)
