SPARQLByE: Querying RDF data by example
Summary: Reverse-engineers SPARQL from user-provided examples to enable RDF querying by non-experts. Combines example-driven query construction with query relaxation to guide users to the intended results, reducing RDF/SPARQL unfamiliarity. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
