SPARQL (pronounced "sparkle", a recursive acronym[2] for SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) is an RDF query language—that is, a semantic query language for databases—able to retrieve and manipulate data stored in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format.[3][4] It was made a standard by the RDF Data Access Working Group (DAWG) of the World Wide Web Consortium, and is recognized as one of the key technologies of the semantic web. On 15 January 2008, SPARQL 1.0 was acknowledged by W3C as an official recommendation,[5][6] and SPARQL 1.1 in March, 2013.[7]
SPARQL allows for a query to consist of triple patterns, conjunctions, disjunctions, and optional patterns.[8]
Implementations for multiple programming languages exist.[9] There exist tools that allow one to connect and semi-automatically construct a SPARQL query for a SPARQL endpoint, for example ViziQuer.[10] In addition, tools exist to translate SPARQL queries to other query languages, for example to SQL[11] and to XQuery.[12]
