Please share them - the more googleable examples (and this post contains some great ones) that there are for folk to discover, the more chance that we'll start to see folk having a bit of a play with the SPARQLable datastores.

As for looking up SNAC IDs for your council, I've knocked <a href="http://www.pezholio.co.uk/snaclookup.php" rel="nofollow">this quick table</a> up which shows the SNAC ID for all local authorities, using this query on the <a href="http://services.data.gov.uk/statistics/sparql" rel="nofollow">Office of National Statistics SPARQL endpoint</a>: <code> PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> SELECT ?authority ?label WHERE { ?authority a <http://statistics.data.gov.uk/def/administrative-geography/LocalAuthority> . ?authority rdfs:label ?label ; } ORDER BY ?label Hey Simon,

Looks like you’ve grasped it, it’s awesomely powerful stuff, if a bit fiddly to start with!

As for looking up SNAC IDs for your council, I’ve knocked this quick table up which shows the SNAC ID for all local authorities, using this query on the Office of National Statistics SPARQL endpoint:

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;
SELECT ?authority ?label
WHERE {
?authority
a <http://statistics.data.gov.uk/def/administrative-geography/LocalAuthority&gt; .
?authority rdfs:label ?label ;
}
ORDER BY ?label
