Tools

get_entity
Tool to get entities details from Artsdata Knowledge Graph by entity URI.
shallow
get_schema
Returns the data model of the Artsdata Knowledge Graph: its entity classes (Event, Place, Organization, Person, LivePerformanceWork...), the properties of each with required/optional, cardinality, value types, linked classes and allowed values, the controlled vocabularies, the SPARQL prefixes, and conventions for querying. Derived from the Artsdata Ontology and the Artsdata CORE graph SHACL shapes. Call this before writing a SPARQL query to run with sparql_query against https://query.artsdata.ca/query, since Artsdata's model is not general knowledge. Takes no input.
shallow
search_entities
Tool to search for entities in the Artsdata knowledge graph by name and type(optional).
shallow
search_events
Tool to search for events in the Artsdata knowledge graph by place, artist, organization, type and language.
shallow
sparql_query
Runs a read-only SPARQL 1.1 SELECT or ASK query against the Artsdata Knowledge Graph (https://query.artsdata.ca/query) and returns the result as SPARQL 1.1 Query Results JSON, exactly as the endpoint returns it: head.vars and results.bindings for SELECT, boolean for ASK. Call get_schema first and build the query from the classes, properties, prefixes and conventions it returns, since Artsdata's model is not general knowledge. Declare every PREFIX you use and always add a LIMIT: at most 1000 rows are returned (the rest is cut and truncated is true; page with OFFSET), and a query gets 25 seconds. If the endpoint rejects the query, its error message is returned so you can fix the query and retry. For the details of an entity URI in the results use get_entity; to find an entity's URI from its name use search_entities.
