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 Related Facets Web Service: Virtuoso Facets Web Service Linked Data: Faceted Views over Large-Scale Linked Data Facet Browser Installation and configuration: Virtuoso Facet Browser Installation and configuration Facet APIs: Virtuoso APIs for FCT REST services UNKNOWN tag: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml:nowikifct_exec API Example Pivot Viewer and CXML: Facet Pivot Bridge - A bridge to PivotViewer from Virtuoso's Faceted query service for RDF Auto-Detection of Facet Type Tutorials: Faceted Browsing Sample using LOD Cloud Cache data space SOAP Facets Example Querying The Facet Browser Web Service endpoint Visualizing Your Data With PivotViewer Using The Facet Browser Custom Controlling Virtuoso Labels for URI functionality Example Facets Web Service: Choice of Labels Example Downloads: Latest Virtuoso Virtuoso Facet Browser VAD package
