In ANSI SQL, you can write something like:
Select * From DBTable Where DBTable.Description LIKE "MEET"
or
Select * From DBTable Where DBTable.Description LIKE "%MEET%"
What I would like help with is writing the SPARQL equivalent of the above please.
Use a regex filter. You can find a short tutorial here
Here's what it looks like:
PREFIX ns: <http://example.com/namespace>
SELECT ?x
WHERE
{ ?x ns:SomePredicate ?y .
FILTER regex(?y, "YOUR_REGEX", "i") }
YOUR_REGEX
must be an expression of the XQuery regular expression language
i
is an optional flag. It means that the match is case insensitive.
