The SPARQL Package allows you to directly import results of SPARQL SELECT queries into the statistical environment of R as a data frame, allowing one to directly perform statistical analysis on datasets on the web. This tutorial shows how to do a visual analysis with the Gephi graph visualization tool, and basic social network analysis with R of the data in the DBpedia repository about Hollywood movies. It makes use of the SPARQL Package for R and the igraph library.
