Looking up property count


curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d @post.xml  http://lod.openlinksw.com/fct/service

Where 'post.xml' document contains query document: 


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<query>
  <text>Mike</text>
  <property iri="[foaf:knows]">
    <view type="list-count" limit="20" />
  </property>
</query>

Produces the following response.

Looking up instances of a class


curl -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d @post.xml  http://lod.openlinksw.com/fct/service

Where 'post.xml' document contains query document: 


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<query>
  <text>Mike</text>
  <class iri="[foaf:Person]"/>
  <view type="list" limit="10" />
</query>

Produces the following response.

Note: If the entire <text> element is missing, the FCT service will not add a bif:contains to the triple pattern. Thus it is possible to search for some property or class, etc. For example: 
<query>
  <property iri="[foaf:knows]">
    <view type="properties" limit="20" offset="0"/>
  </property>
</query>

is executed as: 


SELECT  ?s2p AS ?c1 
        COUNT (*) AS ?c2  
WHERE
   { 
     ?s1  <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/knows>  ?s2  . 
     ?s2  ?s2p  ?s2o  . 
   } 
GROUP BY ?s2p 
ORDER BY DESC 2 
LIMIT 20
