I am using the following query :
select ?value where { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Paris> dbpedia-owl:wikiPageRedirects* ?value } in order to retrieve the wikiPageRedirects property of Paris.
Based on dbpedia Paris has more than 20 redirect links. Why am I only retrieving the first one?
Your direction was wrong.
select distinct * where { ?x dbpedia-owl:wikiPageRedirects <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Paris> } Artemis's answer is right; the "direction" in the query is wrong. It's worth explaining that a bit more, though. On the DBpedia "page", you'll see lots of data like:
dbpedia-owl:area 105400000.000000 (xsd:double) dbpedia-owl:country dbpedia:France dbpedia-owl:inseeCode 75056 (xsd:integer) dbpedia-owl:mayor dbpedia:Anne_Hidalgo
These mean that DBpedia contains triples where these are the predicates and objects. That is, DBpedia contains a triple:
dbpedia:Paris dbpedia-owl:country dbpedia:France On other hand, you'll also see things like "is … of":
is dbpedia-owl:beatifiedPlace of dbpedia:Daniel_Brottier is dbpedia-owl:billed of dbpedia:René_Duprée
These mean that dbpedia:Paris the object of triples with these subjects and predicates. E.g., DBpedia contains the triple
dbpedia:René_Duprée dbpedia-owl:billed dbpedia:Paris The redirects properties that you're seeing are like this:
is dbpedia-owl:wikiPageRedirects of dbpedia:City_of_Love_(city) dbpedia:Département_de_Paris dbpedia:Departement_de_Paris dbpedia:FRPAR That means that there are a bunch of triples of the form:
?something dbpedia-owl:wikiPageRedirects dbpedia:Paris and that means that your query needs to be
select ?resource where { ?resource dbpedia-owl:wikiPageRedirects dbpedia:Paris }
