This book teaches how to use SPARQL 1.1, starting off with simple queries that demonstrate the language using a query-by-example approach and then taking the reader through all the key features of the SPARQL 1.1 query and update languages. All example code is provided for the reader and can be run with open-source software. In addition to the print version, this book is available in EBook, DAISY, ePub, Mobi and PDF formats.
