Knowing the OCD ontology, it is then possible to write SPARQL queries and obtain the desired data, to be used for studies and research.

Aiming at querying the knowledge graph in a user-friendly way (i.e. the users don’t need to know SPARQL query language to use the query builder), the tool has been highly appreciated by the users of the dati.camera.it portal.
