I am struggling with DBpedia. The description is unclear (to the point that for me it is hard to tell which data can be obtain, which - cannot), and (what is worst) it does not have many examples (direct links) I could learn from.
I want to get all "influences" and "influencedBy" fields for all philosophers, preferably in JSON format.
The closest things I found are:
http://dbpedia.org/data/Bertrand_Russell.json
But it is:
- per-person (it is not clear if it is only way to query)
- a lot of other data I don't care about (heavy)
- even "influences" are passes in complicated format (OK, this thing is not the worst, but I maybe there is something lighter)
Ideally something like:
[{"name": "Bertrand_Russell",
"influences": ["Euclid", "John_Stuart_Mill", ...],
"influencedBy": ["Ludwig_Wittgenstein", "A._J._Ayer"]},
...
]
(Whether in a single query, or in a few.)
Is it possible? How?
