Using DPRR's SPARQL Interface for data


You can find here a small Python script which demonstrates how the DPRR SPARQL interface could be used to fetch data for presentation in a way different from that which is readily available from the DPRR browser-oriented web application.

In this example, a SPARQL query is run to fetch all instances of data about appointments to the office of Consul which involve a DPRR person for which a tribal association has been provided. The script takes this data and uses Google Graphs to generate a set of timelines which show how the consul office has been distributed between the different tribes over the period of time represented by DPRR.

The page that the script generates is included in this folder, and is available here.
