Explain all types and properties

SELECT ?pt ?e WHERE {
  ?pt rdfs:comment ?e .
} LIMIT 100

List main papers

SELECT * WHERE {
 
  ?paper rdf:type kg:MainPaper .
  ?paper dc:date ?year .
 
}

Add this to show datatypes!

  BIND ( DATATYPE(?year) AS ?type )

Add this to only show years with the right type.

  FILTER ( DATATYPE(?year) = xsd:gYear )

Group and count main papers by year

SELECT ?year (COUNT(?paper) AS ?count) WHERE {

  ?paper rdf:type kg:MainPaper .
  ?paper dc:date ?year .
  FILTER ( DATATYPE(?year) = xsd:gYear )

}
GROUP BY ?year

Add this to order the results

ORDER BY ?year

Add this to order and only show years with more than 5 papers.

HAVING (?count > 5)
ORDER BY DESC(?count)

===Show papers

SELECT ?paper ?year WHERE {

  ?paper rdf:type kg:MainPaper .
  ?paper dc:date ?year .
  FILTER ( DATATYPE(?year) = xsd:gYear )

}

Change last lines to show papers without an xsd:gYear too.

  OPTIONAL {
      ?paper dc:date ?year .
      FILTER ( DATATYPE(?year) = xsd:gYear )
  }
