Linked Data is the global database of the World Wide Web. One can query those linked databases by sending SPARQL queries to different endpoints.
SPARQL vocabularies are huge and it is sometimes tedious to find how to ask for simple things as Named Entities.
This module aim to provide a very simple way to query named entities by their name, and retrieve a maximum of information from different SPARQL endpoints.
You can read the docs here.
Just type the pip command in your env:
pip install pyneql
Or you can install PyNeQL by cloning the project to your local directory
git clone https://github.com/Valerie-Hanoka/PyNeQL.git
run setup.py
python setup.py install
I plan to submit it to PyPI soon.
Looking for Bell Hooks in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, DBPedia, Wikidata and the French DBPedia:

bell_hooks = Person(first_name="bell", last_name="hooks")
bell_hooks.add_query_endpoints(endpoints)
bell_hooks.query()At the moment, the result is as follow:

bell_hooks.find_more_about()
# person.find_more_about() gives 208 more attribute-keys values about her:

The class Thing will only be used as a common parent for all other named entities classes. As it is not safe to use, I describe it there just for fun.
