A number of demonstration repositories are available on this site
that contain small example RDF datasets:
In these demonstration repositories, you can try out any one of
the three query languages currently supported by Sesame
(SeRQL,
RQL and
RDQL),
as well as Sesame's web RDF explorer and XML/N-Triples/N3 export
functionality.
The most powerful query language supported by Sesame is SeRQL
(pronounce as "circle"). SeRQL has a clear and convenient syntax,
supports RDF Schema semantics, XML Schema datatypes, optional path
expressions and RDF graph transformations, among other things. A
complete overview of SeRQL's features can be found in the
SeRQL User Manual. For a quick
start, there are a number of
example queries available.
Another query language that is (partially) supported by Sesame is
RQL. You can check out the
interactive RQL Tutorial to
learn the basics of RQL. This tutorial sends queries to the museum
repository on this server, but you can also create your own queries
on this museum repository. Finally, Sesame also features an
RDQL engine. Andy Seaborne has written an excellent
RDQL tutorial.
It uses a running example RDF model about vCards, you can try the
tutorial example queries online on the vCard repository.
