SPARQL

Query Language

SPARQL is an RDF query language, a semantic query language for databases, able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. It was made a standard by the RDF Data Access Working Group of the World Wide Web Consortium, and is recognized as one of the key technologies of the semantic web. SPARQL allows queries to consist of triple patterns, conjunctions, disjunctions, and optional patterns.
