How to query data under a specific URL by SPARQL


Shirley Chang (111) | asked Jan 20 '16, 12:10 a.m.
 I am new to SPARQL and like to query the title under 1st portion of the data source. but the query doesn't work in both Jean and Twinkle and I can not figure it out.  Please help.  Thanks a lot. 

Here is my sparql  and the data source :

#filename: myquery-001.rq
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>.              
@prefix dc:  <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>.  

SELECT ?title

WHERE <http://www.dlib.org>   dc:date  "1995-01-07" ?title. 

        }

Here is my source data in *.ttl 
#File: mydata-001.ttl

@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>.              
@prefix dc:  <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>.  

<http://www.dlib.org>

Not quite sure how it "doesn't work", because these words contain nothing for others to understand the issue. Also, why do you put dc:date in the query if you're interested in the title only?

The query should look like this (also shown in a screen shot of Twinkle):

prefix dc:  < http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ >

select ?title
where {
    < http://www.dlib.org > dc:title ?title
}
(I add extra spaces between the angle brackets to retain the format of the post).



P.S. This forum is about IBM products on Jazz platform, not for general SPARQL questions.
