Statistics

Adherents of the French Prophets and their religious affiliations

Age at death of all Human beings (Q7) noted on FactGrid, statistical distribution

• The members of Frankfurt's Union-Lodge, branches of occupation, bubble chart
• The distribution of males and females who became followers of the early 18th-century "French Prophets"
• Adherents of the French Prophets and their religious affiliation
• The Illuminati membership statements The intricate thing is that this search excludes the two 100% bubbles of Illuminati and Freemasons that are of course given with every Illuminati membership.

• Age at death of all human beings listed on FactGrid, diagram

• J.J.C. Bode's Library (1793), profile by date of publication of the copies

Grammatically intricate searches

• all places - with their respective Wikidata numbers
• Member of the Illuminati, state the primary document reference that we have for this statement
• The graduates of Gotha's Gymnasium Illustre/Ernestinum: their fathers with career information, their mothers and the fathers of the mothers (i.e. maternal grandfathers) with the respective career information] The search is intricate as it goes into related database objects and brings information located there into the table.
• all the lodges of Saint Domingue/Haiti the intricate part is, that the lodges only have information on places, the places have information on the territorial affiliation - we ask for Q176240 (Haiti) as the must have value. The bracket can also have more countries.
• All lodges of Saint Domingue, when founded and dissolved, plus coordinates The tricky thing is that the Lodges do not have the territory information on their items, it is on the respective places and become the basic filter in this search

Looking for a statement - give it with all the qualifying statements

This search is especially useful if the data model needs to be changed. It searches the database for a particular statement and gives all the instances with the respective qualifying sub-statements:

SELECT * WHERE {
  ?s wdt:P2 wd:Q7.
  ?s p:P266 ?st. # ?s is the the statement node
  ?st ps:P266 ?o. # that simulates the predicate
  ?st ?qualifier ?value. # this is an attribute (a qualifier)
}
