- Demonstrates a working knowledge of the forms and uses of SPARQL result sets (SELECT, CONSTRUCT, DESCRIBE, and ASK).
- Differentiates between a Default Graph and a Named Graph, and formulates queries using the GRAPH clause.
- Understands how to combine and filter graph patterns using operators such as UNION, OPTIONAL, FILTER, and MINUS.
- Understands the role of Property Paths and how they are formed by combining predicates with regular expression-like operators.
- Uses aggregates to apply expressions over groups of solutions (GROUP BY, COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN) for partitioning results, evaluating projections, and filtering.
- Uses the regular expression (regex()) function for string matching.
