Why can get results with this query:
SELECT *
WHERE {
?person rdfs:label "Kirk Douglas"@en;
dbo:birthPlace ?place. # With dbp: too
}
but not with another one:
SELECT *
WHERE {
?person rdfs:label "Kirk Douglas"@en;
dbo:starring ?film.
}
I'm following tags in https://dbpedia.org/page/Kirk_Douglas
Some tip to understand it.
Thx!
In dbr:Kirk_Douglas you can read:
dbo:birthPlace dbr:Amsterdam_(city),_New_York
...
is dbo:starring of dbr:The_Light_at_the_Edge_of_the_World
dbr:Cast_a_Giant_Shadow
dbr:Two-Fisted_Tales_(film)
...
where is dbo:starring of is a way of simulating an inverse property for dbo:starring.
Indeed, in dbo:starring you can read:
rdfs:domain dbo:Work
...
rdfs:range dbo:Actor
This means that you shouldn't build triples like ?actor dbo:starring ?work, while ?work dbo:starring ?actor is a valid triple.
So your query should be something like:
SELECT *
WHERE {
?person rdfs:label "Kirk Douglas"@en .
?film dbo:starring ?person .
}
