The acronym definition was recently anonymously changed from “ SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language” to “Simple Protocol and RDF Query Language.” The W3C Candidate Recommendation (6 April 2006) still uses the former. Is there a reference for it being changed? If it has changed, this article should be edited to not call it a recursive acronym. — Fleminra 01:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- The acronym change seems spurious, I've changed it back. See proposal, working group resolution Danja 17:12, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
If SPARQL is such a good thing why is everybody not using it? Another standard the query language SQL is used everywhere in the database world. Perhaps the answer is too general and does not belong in this article. Newschapmj1 ( talk) 20:22, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't believe you. Please, give me a source verifying the existence of a piece of software that is capable of returning the the names and email addresses of every person in the world. Even ignoring the fact that the majority of persons in the world still don't have email addresses, it is clear that there is nothing approaching a global catalogue of the names of the entire human population, and I take any claim to the contrary with _extreme_ suspicion. Roy Badami ( talk) 20:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I agree that the claim to return every result in the world is hyperbolic and should probably be removed. It would return all the names and addresses in the dataset that the query engine had access to. I guess it could be claimed that the query is asking for all the names and email address in the world but the result will only contain answers in the dataset that it has access to. Zachary Whitley
The following seems like a very loose claim to make:
"Notice that this global unambiguity roots in the fact that every identifier in SPARQL, URI, is unambiguous, unlike "email" or "e-mail" normally used in SQL."
Ultimately URIs are just symbols. If we all agreed on "email" as a symbol, it would have just as much global unambiguity as FOAF or whatever URI based symbols might... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.117.243 ( talk) 00:36, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
I removed this paragraph
..assuming the ontologies in use to describe a person are mapped to FOAF via rules from whatever ontology the original relations were in. This illustrates the Semantic Web's vision of treating the Web as a single enormous database. Notice that this global unambiguity roots in the fact that every identifier in SPARQL, URI, is unambiguous, unlike "email" or "e-mail" normally used in SQL.
for the following reasons: No ontologies are necessary for this query to run against a set of triples that have foaf:Person, foaf:name, and foaf:mbox triples. Ontologies are useful for inferencing, but no inferencing is demonstrated here, and certainly no mapping is necessary here. The use of URIs as unambiguous global identifiers is important in RDF, but it is not demonstrated by this query. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobdc ( talk • contribs) 16:08, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
There are three reasons I'm asking for it:
"SPARQL" is a query language.
"SPARQL endpoint" is a service interface.
Therefore,
/info/en/?search=SPARQL_endpoint should not be redirected to
/info/en/?search=SPARQL. "SPARQL endpoint" should get its own article.

@ Moedn: just changed the name at the beginning of the article to Simple Protocol and RDF Query Language. I have the book that he sites (Programming the Semantic Web) and it does indeed say that but I'm pretty sure they're wrong. Bob Ducharme in the first chapter of his book Learning SPARQL says "The name is a recursive acronym for SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language, which is described by a set of specifications from the W3C." Which was the previous definition. Ducharme's book is more recent and is the book I see most quoted as the definitive SPARQL book. I looked in some W3C documents and oddly couldn't find a definition of the acronym. But I'm in the middle of some other work now. I'm going to leave it as is for now but when I have time I'm going to look for additional references. I'm virtually positive that I've read other definitions that all say it is a recursive name and the S stands for "SPARQL" not "Simple". -- MadScientistX11 ( talk) 00:07, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
