[System]
You are a question answering assistant. Your job is to generate a SPARQL query to answer a given user question.

You should follow a step-by-step approach to generate the SPARQL query:
1. Determine possible entities and properties implied by the user question.
2. Search for the entities and properties in the knowledge graphs. Where applicable, constrain the searches with already identified entities and properties.
3. Gradually build up the SPARQL query using the identified entities and properties. Start with simple queries and add more complexity as needed. Execute intermediate queries to get feedback and to verify your assumptions. You may need to refine or rethink your current plan based on the query results and go back to step 2 if needed, possibly multiple times.
4. Use the answer or cancel function to finalize your answer and stop the generation process.

Available knowledge graphs:
- wikidata at https://qlever.dev/api/wikidata with prefix index for entities and similarity index for properties, and notes:
  - P106 = occupation. Use wdt:P106 to get occupations and fetch English labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label)='en'). When returning human occupations confirm the subject is human (wdt:P31 wd:Q5) to avoid non-human items. For 'main business' prefer more specific occupation items (e.g., real estate entrepreneur Q7301138) over broad labels like business magnate.
  - Population (P1082) and tabular (P4179): use wdt:P1082 for direct values; for time-series use p:P1082 + ps:P1082 + pq:P585 and ORDER BY pq:P585 DESC. Inspect qualifiers (e.g., 'applies to part') and references (pr:P854) to detect scope. When computing density with area (wdt:P2046) confirm area unit/datatype (usually km²), ensure population and area present and >0, and BIND(?population/?area AS ?density).
  - Spouse nationality: do not rely only on P27. Check the spouse's place of birth (P19) and then the birthplace's country (P17) or admin parents (wdt:P131*). Many pre-unification German spouses appear under historical states—map those to modern countries when needed.
  - For languages on countries: prefer wdt:P37 (official language) and wdt:P2936 (language used). wdt:P1412 (languages spoken/written/signed) is more often used for peoples/individuals and may be empty for countries. Try P37 and P2936 first, then fall back to P1412/P407. Fetch English labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?l)='en').
  - When filtering by date of birth (P569) use xsd:dateTime comparisons (e.g. >= "1900-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime). Inception (P571) often uses Jan-01 placeholders for year-only dates; inspect p:P571 -> ps:P571 and check qualifiers/references for precision. For independence dates, also search for related event statements/items (e.g., 'declaration of independence') and prefer qualifiers/references over assuming day/month from year-only values.
  - To retrieve qualifiers (e.g., award year) use the statement/qualifier pattern: p:Pxxx / ps:Pxxx / pq:P585. Use wdt:Pxxx for normalized/direct values when you don't need qualifiers. Example: p:P166 + pq:P585 gives award year.
  - P166 = award received. Use wdt:P166 for normalized/direct values when you only need award items. To get award years or qualifiers use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585. Many statements lack pq:P585 — use OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?date } and ORDER BY DESC(?date). When listing award winners, filter ?person wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to ensure humans.
  - Population time-series: use p:P1082 ?stmt . ?stmt ps:P1082 ?pop . OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?date } . To get the most recent value prefer a subquery to compute MAX(?date) per subject and join back to the statement to retrieve the matching population. Avoid HAVING(MAX(?date)=?date) — QLever can error. Inspect qualifiers/references for scope (city-proper vs metro).
  - wdt:P131* can be expensive and may be incomplete. First try direct wdt:P131 for immediate administrative parent(s). If missing, check wdt:P17 (country) and wdt:P625 (coordinates) or the place item's own statements. Prefer bounded traversal (1-2 hops) or explicit parent patterns and use DISTINCT/ORDER/LIMIT to de-duplicate rather than broad P131*.
  - Use search_property_of_entity to find candidate properties but always verify the property's semantics (domain/range) and whether it links to the office, office-holder, or related entity. Test with a small query before relying on results. For creative works, after locating candidate properties, filter results by instance-of (e.g., films wd:Q11424; board games wd:Q131436) to avoid non-work items.
  - Use search_property_of_entity to find relevant properties. Political parties are modelled inconsistently (P1142, P1313, P463, P39/P106). Fallback: inspect party pages/lists and MEP group memberships; document assumptions. For country government type prefer P122 (basic form of government); P1288 is inconsistent. To exclude historical states filter NOT EXISTS { ?item wdt:P576 ?d }.
  - Inspect statement references and qualifiers: use prov:wasDerivedFrom on p: statements to find sources, and check qualifiers (e.g., 'applies to part' or other scope qualifiers) to disambiguate city vs metro vs admin area. Reference labels can be empty; inspect reference node properties for URLs or publication dates.
  - Place of burial (P119): use wdt:P119 to get the direct burial place. If you need the city, follow P119 / wdt:P131 or check the burial place's wdt:P17 (country) or wdt:P625 (coordinates) if P131 is missing. Use p:P119 / ps:P119 / pq: qualifiers when you need burial-date or scope details and inspect references for source/context.
  - P118 (league/competition) is used inconsistently: sometimes on clubs, sometimes directly on players. When finding clubs use ?club wdt:P118 wd:Q... and verify ?club wdt:P31 wd:Q483394. If P118 returns players, filter by ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to detect humans and avoid false positives. To get current players prefer club→p:P54 statements: ?player p:P54 ?stmt; ?stmt ps:P54 ?club. OPTIONAL{ ?stmt pq:P582 ?end } FILTER(!BOUND(?end)). Verify qualifiers/references and DOBs for plausibility.
  - Querying holders of offices (P39): prefer p:P39 / ps:P39 patterns to access qualifiers. To find current holder use: ?person p:P39 ?stmt. ?stmt ps:P39 wd:Q... . OPTIONAL{ ?stmt pq:P582 ?end } FILTER(!BOUND(?end)). Watch for duplicate statements (re-elections)  use DISTINCT or ORDER BY DESC(?start) LIMIT 1 on pq:P580. Avoid HAVING(MAX(...)=...) on QLever; prefer subqueries with ORDER/LIMIT.
  - Headquarters: use wdt:P159 for org HQs. If P159 gives a building follow that building's wdt:P131* (bounded hops). If P159 points to a place, verify its wdt:P31. Don't rely only on P17 for org-country—also check P159 and P276. Use UNION/nested patterns to cover ?org wdt:P17 wd:Q... OR ?org wdt:P159|wdt:P276 ?place . ?place wdt:P17 wd:Q... or ?place wdt:P131* wd:Q...

Index types used for entities and properties:
- Prefix index: Retrieves items by overlap between query keywords and item words. The query keywords can match item words exactly or as prefixes.
- Similarity index: Retrieves items by cosine similarity between their embeddings and the query embedding.

General notes across knowledge graphs:
- Use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label)='en') for labels; avoid SERVICE wikibase:label. If a query using SERVICE fails (e.g., HTTP 301 redirect), switch to rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...)) and/or schema:name. Language items (e.g., results from P2936) often lack rdfs:label@en; expect many hits without English labels—prefer P37 for official languages or map major languages by known QIDs.
- Practical query patterns: use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...)) for labels. Use wdt:Pxxx for direct values; p:Pxxx/ps:Pxxx/pq:Pxxx for qualifiers. For roles: films use P161 (actor), directors P57; space missions use P1029 (crew). Query reverse and filter by instance-of film (wd:Q11424) or human (wd:Q5). For 'city' classification prefer ?x wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q515; use wdt:P2046 for area but check units/duplicates.
- When selecting latest qualifier-dated values (e.g., pq:P585 for award year or population), prefer a subquery to compute MAX(date) per subject and join back to get the matching statement/value. Avoid HAVING(MAX(?date)=?date) patterns on QLever (can cause engine errors). Use OPTIONAL for qualifiers when dates may be missing and GROUP_CONCAT for multi-values.
- Use search_entity to resolve names and verify instance-of (e.g., wdt:P31=wd:Q5). Note: search_entity can return class/designation items or noisy matches; constrain with instance-of, or search the related entity (e.g., country) and query its members. Use search_property_of_entity/search_autocomplete as fallback and always confirm P31 programmatically before trusting the top match.
- Use search_property to confirm property identifiers (e.g., "country" -> P17) before embedding them in queries. This prevents mistakes from assuming an ID and helps pick the best property if multiple choices exist.
- QLever endpoints do not support SERVICE wikibase:label — use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...))='en'. Common SPARQL pitfalls: avoid '||' outside patterns (use UNION), put AND '&&' only inside FILTER, prefer VALUES over IN, and use rdfs:label filters to constrain language. When testing existence prefer FILTER EXISTS { ... } or OPTIONAL { ?s wdt:Pxx ?v . FILTER(?v = wd:Q...) } — writing OPTIONAL { ?s wdt:Pxx wd:Q... } creates no ?v for BOUND(?v). When execute() fails, simplify the query and test with list(...).
- Use list(...) to inspect all triples on an entity for exploration, but expect large results for notable items. Prefer wdt: properties or targeted p:/ps:/pq: patterns in SPARQL when you need normalized values or qualifiers, respectively.
- Before embedding property or item IDs in SPARQL, use search_property, search_property_of_entity, and search_object_of_property to discover the appropriate P/PID or object QIDs. This reduces errors from guessing IDs and surfaces better property alternatives and qualifiers. Also verify ambiguous item QIDs (e.g., currencies or template items) by checking rdfs:label and instance-of with list(...) before use.
- search_constrained and search_autocomplete can return no results for constrained queries or when the index is large. If they fail, fallback to search_entity + verify P31 (or use search_property_of_entity). Constrain with instance-of (wdt:P31) or other properties in the SPARQL to improve matches.
- When selecting awards by year, prefer xsd:dateTime range filters (e.g., >= "2001-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime && < "2002-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime) instead of YEAR() for portability and precision.
- When selecting award winners via wdt:P166, filter ?person wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to ensure humans — fictional characters or non-humans may have award claims. If you need award years use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585 and OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?year } to retrieve qualifier years.
- Use wdt:P625 (coordinates) together with wdt:P131* and wdt:P17 checks to validate a place's modern country or to filter by geography. When country labels mismatch historically, inspect admin parents and coordinates to resolve whether the item refers to historical/colonial scope or current boundaries.
- Prefer wdt:Pxxx for normalized/direct values when qualifiers aren't needed. Use p:Pxxx / ps:Pxxx / pq:Pxxx to access qualifiers (e.g., pq:P585 for award year). Always fetch labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label) = "en"). When computing derived metrics (density/rates) confirm unit consistency (area units) and datatypes and do calculations inside SPARQL.
- If search_autocomplete returns too many candidates or errors, retry with constraints (e.g., SELECT * WHERE { ?search wdt:P31 wd:Q5 }) or narrower query text. If still failing, fallback to search_entity and verify wdt:P31 for type checks.
- For award-year queries use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585 to access award statements and year qualifiers. Filter by xsd:dateTime ranges (e.g., >= "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime && < "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime) instead of YEAR() for robustness.
- Use search_property_of_entity to surface relevant properties for an entity (e.g., 'birth' -> P569/P19; 'cause of death' -> P509; 'manner of death' -> P1196). list(...) can inspect triples but may return large results for notable items—prefer targeted wdt: patterns (wdt:Pxxx) or p:/ps:/pq: patterns when you need qualifiers.

Additional rules to follow:
- Explain your thought process before and after each step and function call.
- Do not just use or make up entity or property identifiers without verifying their existence in the knowledge graphs first.
- Do not ask the user for clarifications without first attempting to complete the task. If the task input is incomplete or ambiguous, try to make reasonable assumptions and document them.
- Do not use "SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language ..." in SPARQL queries. It is not SPARQL standard and unsupported by the used QLever SPARQL endpoints. Use rdfs:label or similar properties to get labels instead.
- Always execute your final SPARQL query before giving an answer to make sure it returns the expected results.
- The SPARQL query should always return the actual identifiers / IRIs of the items in its result. It additionally may return labels or other human-readable information, but they are optional and should be put within optional clauses unless explicitly requested by the user.
- Do not stop early if there are still obvious improvements to be made to the SPARQL query. For example, keep refining your SPARQL query if its result contains irrelevant items or is missing items you expected.
- Do not perform additional computation (e.g. filtering, sorting, calculations) on the result of the SPARQL query to determine the answer. All computation should be done solely within SPARQL.
- For questions with a "True" or "False" answer the SPARQL query should be an ASK query.

[User] Which kingdom preceded the Thonburi Kingdom ?

[Assistant]
To determine which kingdom preceded the Thonburi Kingdom, I need to identify the historical context and political succession in Thai history. The Thonburi Kingdom (1767–1782) was established after the fall of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, which was destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. Therefore, the Ayutthaya Kingdom is the predecessor of the Thonburi Kingdom.

### Step 1: Identify the Thonburi Kingdom entity in Wikidata
I will first search for the Thonburi Kingdom to confirm its Wikidata identifier.

[Assistant]
The Thonburi Kingdom is identified as `wd:Q1115291`. Now, I need to find its predecessor. In historical context, the Ayutthaya Kingdom preceded the Thonburi Kingdom. I will search for the Ayutthaya Kingdom to confirm its identifier and verify the succession relationship.

### Step 2: Search for the Ayutthaya Kingdom

Question: Ayutthaya Kingdom

Top 10 entity alternatives:
1. Ayutthaya Kingdom (wd:Q841364): 1350–1767 Siamese kingdom in Southeast Asia / is instance of historical country

[Assistant]
The Ayutthaya Kingdom is identified as `wd:Q841364`. Now, I need to verify whether there is a direct "successor" or "predecessor" relationship between the Ayutthaya Kingdom and the Thonburi Kingdom in Wikidata. I will check the properties of the Thonburi Kingdom to see if it has a "predecessor" property (e.g., `wdt:P1365` for "predecessor").

### Step 3: Check properties of the Thonburi Kingdom for "predecessor"

wd:Q1115291

[Assistant]
The property `wdt:P1365` (replaces) is used to indicate that the Thonburi Kingdom succeeded the Ayutthaya Kingdom. This confirms that the Ayutthaya Kingdom is the predecessor of the Thonburi Kingdom.

### Final Step: Construct the SPARQL query
I will now write a SPARQL query to retrieve the predecessor of the Thonburi Kingdom using the `wdt:P1365` property.

```sparql
SELECT ?predecessor ?predecessorLabel WHERE {
  wd:Q1115291 wdt:P1365 ?predecessor .
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
}
```

Wait! I must avoid using `SERVICE wikibase:label` as per the instructions. Instead, I will use `rdfs:label` with a language filter.

```sparql
SELECT ?predecessor ?predecessorLabel WHERE {
  wd:Q1115291 wdt:P1365 ?predecessor .
  ?predecessor rdfs:label ?predecessorLabel .
  FILTER(LANG(?predecessorLabel) = "en")
}
```

Let me execute this query to confirm the result.

execute

SELECT ?predecessor ?predecessorLabel WHERE { wd:Q1115291 wdt:P1365 ?predecessor . ?predecessor rdfs:label ?predecessorLabel . FILTER(LANG(?predecessorLabel) = "en")}

Got 1 row and 2 columns:
| predecessor                    | predecessorLabel            |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------- |
| Ayutthaya Kingdom (wd:Q841364) | Ayutthaya Kingdom (lang:en) |

[System]
You are a question answering assistant. Your job is to generate a SPARQL query to answer a given user question.

You should follow a step-by-step approach to generate the SPARQL query:
1. Determine possible entities and properties implied by the user question.
2. Search for the entities and properties in the knowledge graphs. Where applicable, constrain the searches with already identified entities and properties.
3. Gradually build up the SPARQL query using the identified entities and properties. Start with simple queries and add more complexity as needed. Execute intermediate queries to get feedback and to verify your assumptions. You may need to refine or rethink your current plan based on the query results and go back to step 2 if needed, possibly multiple times.
4. Use the answer or cancel function to finalize your answer and stop the generation process.

Available knowledge graphs:
- wikidata at https://qlever.dev/api/wikidata with prefix index for entities and similarity index for properties, and notes:
  - P106 = occupation. Use wdt:P106 to get occupations and fetch English labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label)='en'). When returning human occupations confirm the subject is human (wdt:P31 wd:Q5) to avoid non-human items. For 'main business' prefer more specific occupation items (e.g., real estate entrepreneur Q7301138) over broad labels like business magnate.
  - Population (P1082) and tabular (P4179): use wdt:P1082 for direct values; for time-series use p:P1082 + ps:P1082 + pq:P585 and ORDER BY pq:P585 DESC. Inspect qualifiers (e.g., 'applies to part') and references (pr:P854) to detect scope. When computing density with area (wdt:P2046) confirm area unit/datatype (usually km²), ensure population and area present and >0, and BIND(?population/?area AS ?density).
  - Spouse nationality: do not rely only on P27. Check the spouse's place of birth (P19) and then the birthplace's country (P17) or admin parents (wdt:P131*). Many pre-unification German spouses appear under historical states—map those to modern countries when needed.
  - For languages on countries: prefer wdt:P37 (official language) and wdt:P2936 (language used). wdt:P1412 (languages spoken/written/signed) is more often used for peoples/individuals and may be empty for countries. Try P37 and P2936 first, then fall back to P1412/P407. Fetch English labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?l)='en').
  - When filtering by date of birth (P569) use xsd:dateTime comparisons (e.g. >= "1900-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime). Inception (P571) often uses Jan-01 placeholders for year-only dates; inspect p:P571 -> ps:P571 and check qualifiers/references for precision. For independence dates, also search for related event statements/items (e.g., 'declaration of independence') and prefer qualifiers/references over assuming day/month from year-only values.
  - To retrieve qualifiers (e.g., award year) use the statement/qualifier pattern: p:Pxxx / ps:Pxxx / pq:P585. Use wdt:Pxxx for normalized/direct values when you don't need qualifiers. Example: p:P166 + pq:P585 gives award year.
  - P166 = award received. Use wdt:P166 for normalized/direct values when you only need award items. To get award years or qualifiers use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585. Many statements lack pq:P585 — use OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?date } and ORDER BY DESC(?date). When listing award winners, filter ?person wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to ensure humans.
  - Population time-series: use p:P1082 ?stmt . ?stmt ps:P1082 ?pop . OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?date } . To get the most recent value prefer a subquery to compute MAX(?date) per subject and join back to the statement to retrieve the matching population. Avoid HAVING(MAX(?date)=?date) — QLever can error. Inspect qualifiers/references for scope (city-proper vs metro).
  - wdt:P131* can be expensive and may be incomplete. First try direct wdt:P131 for immediate administrative parent(s). If missing, check wdt:P17 (country) and wdt:P625 (coordinates) or the place item's own statements. Prefer bounded traversal (1-2 hops) or explicit parent patterns and use DISTINCT/ORDER/LIMIT to de-duplicate rather than broad P131*.
  - Use search_property_of_entity to find candidate properties but always verify the property's semantics (domain/range) and whether it links to the office, office-holder, or related entity. Test with a small query before relying on results. For creative works, after locating candidate properties, filter results by instance-of (e.g., films wd:Q11424; board games wd:Q131436) to avoid non-work items.
  - Use search_property_of_entity to find relevant properties. Political parties are modelled inconsistently (P1142, P1313, P463, P39/P106). Fallback: inspect party pages/lists and MEP group memberships; document assumptions. For country government type prefer P122 (basic form of government); P1288 is inconsistent. To exclude historical states filter NOT EXISTS { ?item wdt:P576 ?d }.
  - Inspect statement references and qualifiers: use prov:wasDerivedFrom on p: statements to find sources, and check qualifiers (e.g., 'applies to part' or other scope qualifiers) to disambiguate city vs metro vs admin area. Reference labels can be empty; inspect reference node properties for URLs or publication dates.
  - Place of burial (P119): use wdt:P119 to get the direct burial place. If you need the city, follow P119 / wdt:P131 or check the burial place's wdt:P17 (country) or wdt:P625 (coordinates) if P131 is missing. Use p:P119 / ps:P119 / pq: qualifiers when you need burial-date or scope details and inspect references for source/context.
  - P118 (league/competition) is used inconsistently: sometimes on clubs, sometimes directly on players. When finding clubs use ?club wdt:P118 wd:Q... and verify ?club wdt:P31 wd:Q483394. If P118 returns players, filter by ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to detect humans and avoid false positives. To get current players prefer club→p:P54 statements: ?player p:P54 ?stmt; ?stmt ps:P54 ?club. OPTIONAL{ ?stmt pq:P582 ?end } FILTER(!BOUND(?end)). Verify qualifiers/references and DOBs for plausibility.
  - Querying holders of offices (P39): prefer p:P39 / ps:P39 patterns to access qualifiers. To find current holder use: ?person p:P39 ?stmt. ?stmt ps:P39 wd:Q... . OPTIONAL{ ?stmt pq:P582 ?end } FILTER(!BOUND(?end)). Watch for duplicate statements (re-elections)  use DISTINCT or ORDER BY DESC(?start) LIMIT 1 on pq:P580. Avoid HAVING(MAX(...)=...) on QLever; prefer subqueries with ORDER/LIMIT.
  - Headquarters: use wdt:P159 for org HQs. If P159 gives a building follow that building's wdt:P131* (bounded hops). If P159 points to a place, verify its wdt:P31. Don't rely only on P17 for org-country—also check P159 and P276. Use UNION/nested patterns to cover ?org wdt:P17 wd:Q... OR ?org wdt:P159|wdt:P276 ?place . ?place wdt:P17 wd:Q... or ?place wdt:P131* wd:Q...

Index types used for entities and properties:
- Prefix index: Retrieves items by overlap between query keywords and item words. The query keywords can match item words exactly or as prefixes.
- Similarity index: Retrieves items by cosine similarity between their embeddings and the query embedding.

General notes across knowledge graphs:
- Use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label)='en') for labels; avoid SERVICE wikibase:label. If a query using SERVICE fails (e.g., HTTP 301 redirect), switch to rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...)) and/or schema:name. Language items (e.g., results from P2936) often lack rdfs:label@en; expect many hits without English labels—prefer P37 for official languages or map major languages by known QIDs.
- Practical query patterns: use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...)) for labels. Use wdt:Pxxx for direct values; p:Pxxx/ps:Pxxx/pq:Pxxx for qualifiers. For roles: films use P161 (actor), directors P57; space missions use P1029 (crew). Query reverse and filter by instance-of film (wd:Q11424) or human (wd:Q5). For 'city' classification prefer ?x wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q515; use wdt:P2046 for area but check units/duplicates.
- When selecting latest qualifier-dated values (e.g., pq:P585 for award year or population), prefer a subquery to compute MAX(date) per subject and join back to get the matching statement/value. Avoid HAVING(MAX(?date)=?date) patterns on QLever (can cause engine errors). Use OPTIONAL for qualifiers when dates may be missing and GROUP_CONCAT for multi-values.
- Use search_entity to resolve names and verify instance-of (e.g., wdt:P31=wd:Q5). Note: search_entity can return class/designation items or noisy matches; constrain with instance-of, or search the related entity (e.g., country) and query its members. Use search_property_of_entity/search_autocomplete as fallback and always confirm P31 programmatically before trusting the top match.
- Use search_property to confirm property identifiers (e.g., "country" -> P17) before embedding them in queries. This prevents mistakes from assuming an ID and helps pick the best property if multiple choices exist.
- QLever endpoints do not support SERVICE wikibase:label — use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...))='en'. Common SPARQL pitfalls: avoid '||' outside patterns (use UNION), put AND '&&' only inside FILTER, prefer VALUES over IN, and use rdfs:label filters to constrain language. When testing existence prefer FILTER EXISTS { ... } or OPTIONAL { ?s wdt:Pxx ?v . FILTER(?v = wd:Q...) } — writing OPTIONAL { ?s wdt:Pxx wd:Q... } creates no ?v for BOUND(?v). When execute() fails, simplify the query and test with list(...).
- Use list(...) to inspect all triples on an entity for exploration, but expect large results for notable items. Prefer wdt: properties or targeted p:/ps:/pq: patterns in SPARQL when you need normalized values or qualifiers, respectively.
- Before embedding property or item IDs in SPARQL, use search_property, search_property_of_entity, and search_object_of_property to discover the appropriate P/PID or object QIDs. This reduces errors from guessing IDs and surfaces better property alternatives and qualifiers. Also verify ambiguous item QIDs (e.g., currencies or template items) by checking rdfs:label and instance-of with list(...) before use.
- search_constrained and search_autocomplete can return no results for constrained queries or when the index is large. If they fail, fallback to search_entity + verify P31 (or use search_property_of_entity). Constrain with instance-of (wdt:P31) or other properties in the SPARQL to improve matches.
- When selecting awards by year, prefer xsd:dateTime range filters (e.g., >= "2001-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime && < "2002-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime) instead of YEAR() for portability and precision.
- When selecting award winners via wdt:P166, filter ?person wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to ensure humans — fictional characters or non-humans may have award claims. If you need award years use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585 and OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?year } to retrieve qualifier years.
- Use wdt:P625 (coordinates) together with wdt:P131* and wdt:P17 checks to validate a place's modern country or to filter by geography. When country labels mismatch historically, inspect admin parents and coordinates to resolve whether the item refers to historical/colonial scope or current boundaries.
- Prefer wdt:Pxxx for normalized/direct values when qualifiers aren't needed. Use p:Pxxx / ps:Pxxx / pq:Pxxx to access qualifiers (e.g., pq:P585 for award year). Always fetch labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label) = "en"). When computing derived metrics (density/rates) confirm unit consistency (area units) and datatypes and do calculations inside SPARQL.
- If search_autocomplete returns too many candidates or errors, retry with constraints (e.g., SELECT * WHERE { ?search wdt:P31 wd:Q5 }) or narrower query text. If still failing, fallback to search_entity and verify wdt:P31 for type checks.
- For award-year queries use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585 to access award statements and year qualifiers. Filter by xsd:dateTime ranges (e.g., >= "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime && < "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime) instead of YEAR() for robustness.
- Use search_property_of_entity to surface relevant properties for an entity (e.g., 'birth' -> P569/P19; 'cause of death' -> P509; 'manner of death' -> P1196). list(...) can inspect triples but may return large results for notable items—prefer targeted wdt: patterns (wdt:Pxxx) or p:/ps:/pq: patterns when you need qualifiers.

Additional rules to follow:
- Explain your thought process before and after each step and function call.
- Do not just use or make up entity or property identifiers without verifying their existence in the knowledge graphs first.
- Do not ask the user for clarifications without first attempting to complete the task. If the task input is incomplete or ambiguous, try to make reasonable assumptions and document them.
- Do not use "SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language ..." in SPARQL queries. It is not SPARQL standard and unsupported by the used QLever SPARQL endpoints. Use rdfs:label or similar properties to get labels instead.
- Always execute your final SPARQL query before giving an answer to make sure it returns the expected results.
- The SPARQL query should always return the actual identifiers / IRIs of the items in its result. It additionally may return labels or other human-readable information, but they are optional and should be put within optional clauses unless explicitly requested by the user.
- Do not stop early if there are still obvious improvements to be made to the SPARQL query. For example, keep refining your SPARQL query if its result contains irrelevant items or is missing items you expected.
- Do not perform additional computation (e.g. filtering, sorting, calculations) on the result of the SPARQL query to determine the answer. All computation should be done solely within SPARQL.
- For questions with a "True" or "False" answer the SPARQL query should be an ASK query.

Available knowledge graphs:
- wikidata at https://qlever.dev/api/wikidata with prefix index for entities and similarity index for properties, and notes:
  - P106 = occupation. Use wdt:P106 to get occupations and fetch English labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label)='en'). When returning human occupations confirm the subject is human (wdt:P31 wd:Q5) to avoid non-human items. For 'main business' prefer more specific occupation items (e.g., real estate entrepreneur Q7301138) over broad labels like business magnate.
  - Population (P1082) and tabular (P4179): use wdt:P1082 for direct values; for time-series use p:P1082 + ps:P1082 + pq:P585 and ORDER BY pq:P585 DESC. Inspect qualifiers (e.g., 'applies to part') and references (pr:P854) to detect scope. When computing density with area (wdt:P2046) confirm area unit/datatype (usually km²), ensure population and area present and >0, and BIND(?population/?area AS ?density).
  - Spouse nationality: do not rely only on P27. Check the spouse's place of birth (P19) and then the birthplace's country (P17) or admin parents (wdt:P131*). Many pre-unification German spouses appear under historical states—map those to modern countries when needed.
  - For languages on countries: prefer wdt:P37 (official language) and wdt:P2936 (language used). wdt:P1412 (languages spoken/written/signed) is more often used for peoples/individuals and may be empty for countries. Try P37 and P2936 first, then fall back to P1412/P407. Fetch English labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?l)='en').
  - When filtering by date of birth (P569) use xsd:dateTime comparisons (e.g. >= "1900-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime). Inception (P571) often uses Jan-01 placeholders for year-only dates; inspect p:P571 -> ps:P571 and check qualifiers/references for precision. For independence dates, also search for related event statements/items (e.g., 'declaration of independence') and prefer qualifiers/references over assuming day/month from year-only values.
  - To retrieve qualifiers (e.g., award year) use the statement/qualifier pattern: p:Pxxx / ps:Pxxx / pq:P585. Use wdt:Pxxx for normalized/direct values when you don't need qualifiers. Example: p:P166 + pq:P585 gives award year.
  - P166 = award received. Use wdt:P166 for normalized/direct values when you only need award items. To get award years or qualifiers use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585. Many statements lack pq:P585 — use OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?date } and ORDER BY DESC(?date). When listing award winners, filter ?person wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to ensure humans.
  - Population time-series: use p:P1082 ?stmt . ?stmt ps:P1082 ?pop . OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?date } . To get the most recent value prefer a subquery to compute MAX(?date) per subject and join back to the statement to retrieve the matching population. Avoid HAVING(MAX(?date)=?date) — QLever can error. Inspect qualifiers/references for scope (city-proper vs metro).
  - wdt:P131* can be expensive and may be incomplete. First try direct wdt:P131 for immediate administrative parent(s). If missing, check wdt:P17 (country) and wdt:P625 (coordinates) or the place item's own statements. Prefer bounded traversal (1-2 hops) or explicit parent patterns and use DISTINCT/ORDER/LIMIT to de-duplicate rather than broad P131*.
  - Use search_property_of_entity to find candidate properties but always verify the property's semantics (domain/range) and whether it links to the office, office-holder, or related entity. Test with a small query before relying on results. For creative works, after locating candidate properties, filter results by instance-of (e.g., films wd:Q11424; board games wd:Q131436) to avoid non-work items.
  - Use search_property_of_entity to find relevant properties. Political parties are modelled inconsistently (P1142, P1313, P463, P39/P106). Fallback: inspect party pages/lists and MEP group memberships; document assumptions. For country government type prefer P122 (basic form of government); P1288 is inconsistent. To exclude historical states filter NOT EXISTS { ?item wdt:P576 ?d }.
  - Inspect statement references and qualifiers: use prov:wasDerivedFrom on p: statements to find sources, and check qualifiers (e.g., 'applies to part' or other scope qualifiers) to disambiguate city vs metro vs admin area. Reference labels can be empty; inspect reference node properties for URLs or publication dates.
  - Place of burial (P119): use wdt:P119 to get the direct burial place. If you need the city, follow P119 / wdt:P131 or check the burial place's wdt:P17 (country) or wdt:P625 (coordinates) if P131 is missing. Use p:P119 / ps:P119 / pq: qualifiers when you need burial-date or scope details and inspect references for source/context.
  - P118 (league/competition) is used inconsistently: sometimes on clubs, sometimes directly on players. When finding clubs use ?club wdt:P118 wd:Q... and verify ?club wdt:P31 wd:Q483394. If P118 returns players, filter by ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to detect humans and avoid false positives. To get current players prefer club→p:P54 statements: ?player p:P54 ?stmt; ?stmt ps:P54 ?club. OPTIONAL{ ?stmt pq:P582 ?end } FILTER(!BOUND(?end)). Verify qualifiers/references and DOBs for plausibility.
  - Querying holders of offices (P39): prefer p:P39 / ps:P39 patterns to access qualifiers. To find current holder use: ?person p:P39 ?stmt. ?stmt ps:P39 wd:Q... . OPTIONAL{ ?stmt pq:P582 ?end } FILTER(!BOUND(?end)). Watch for duplicate statements (re-elections)  use DISTINCT or ORDER BY DESC(?start) LIMIT 1 on pq:P580. Avoid HAVING(MAX(...)=...) on QLever; prefer subqueries with ORDER/LIMIT.
  - Headquarters: use wdt:P159 for org HQs. If P159 gives a building follow that building's wdt:P131* (bounded hops). If P159 points to a place, verify its wdt:P31. Don't rely only on P17 for org-country—also check P159 and P276. Use UNION/nested patterns to cover ?org wdt:P17 wd:Q... OR ?org wdt:P159|wdt:P276 ?place . ?place wdt:P17 wd:Q... or ?place wdt:P131* wd:Q...

Index types used for entities and properties:
- Prefix index: Retrieves items by overlap between query keywords and item words. The query keywords can match item words exactly or as prefixes.
- Similarity index: Retrieves items by cosine similarity between their embeddings and the query embedding.

General notes across knowledge graphs:
- Use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label)='en') for labels; avoid SERVICE wikibase:label. If a query using SERVICE fails (e.g., HTTP 301 redirect), switch to rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...)) and/or schema:name. Language items (e.g., results from P2936) often lack rdfs:label@en; expect many hits without English labels—prefer P37 for official languages or map major languages by known QIDs.
- Practical query patterns: use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...)) for labels. Use wdt:Pxxx for direct values; p:Pxxx/ps:Pxxx/pq:Pxxx for qualifiers. For roles: films use P161 (actor), directors P57; space missions use P1029 (crew). Query reverse and filter by instance-of film (wd:Q11424) or human (wd:Q5). For 'city' classification prefer ?x wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q515; use wdt:P2046 for area but check units/duplicates.
- When selecting latest qualifier-dated values (e.g., pq:P585 for award year or population), prefer a subquery to compute MAX(date) per subject and join back to get the matching statement/value. Avoid HAVING(MAX(?date)=?date) patterns on QLever (can cause engine errors). Use OPTIONAL for qualifiers when dates may be missing and GROUP_CONCAT for multi-values.
- Use search_entity to resolve names and verify instance-of (e.g., wdt:P31=wd:Q5). Note: search_entity can return class/designation items or noisy matches; constrain with instance-of, or search the related entity (e.g., country) and query its members. Use search_property_of_entity/search_autocomplete as fallback and always confirm P31 programmatically before trusting the top match.
- Use search_property to confirm property identifiers (e.g., "country" -> P17) before embedding them in queries. This prevents mistakes from assuming an ID and helps pick the best property if multiple choices exist.
- QLever endpoints do not support SERVICE wikibase:label — use rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(...))='en'. Common SPARQL pitfalls: avoid '||' outside patterns (use UNION), put AND '&&' only inside FILTER, prefer VALUES over IN, and use rdfs:label filters to constrain language. When testing existence prefer FILTER EXISTS { ... } or OPTIONAL { ?s wdt:Pxx ?v . FILTER(?v = wd:Q...) } — writing OPTIONAL { ?s wdt:Pxx wd:Q... } creates no ?v for BOUND(?v). When execute() fails, simplify the query and test with list(...).
- Use list(...) to inspect all triples on an entity for exploration, but expect large results for notable items. Prefer wdt: properties or targeted p:/ps:/pq: patterns in SPARQL when you need normalized values or qualifiers, respectively.
- Before embedding property or item IDs in SPARQL, use search_property, search_property_of_entity, and search_object_of_property to discover the appropriate P/PID or object QIDs. This reduces errors from guessing IDs and surfaces better property alternatives and qualifiers. Also verify ambiguous item QIDs (e.g., currencies or template items) by checking rdfs:label and instance-of with list(...) before use.
- search_constrained and search_autocomplete can return no results for constrained queries or when the index is large. If they fail, fallback to search_entity + verify P31 (or use search_property_of_entity). Constrain with instance-of (wdt:P31) or other properties in the SPARQL to improve matches.
- When selecting awards by year, prefer xsd:dateTime range filters (e.g., >= "2001-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime && < "2002-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime) instead of YEAR() for portability and precision.
- When selecting award winners via wdt:P166, filter ?person wdt:P31 wd:Q5 to ensure humans — fictional characters or non-humans may have award claims. If you need award years use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585 and OPTIONAL { ?stmt pq:P585 ?year } to retrieve qualifier years.
- Use wdt:P625 (coordinates) together with wdt:P131* and wdt:P17 checks to validate a place's modern country or to filter by geography. When country labels mismatch historically, inspect admin parents and coordinates to resolve whether the item refers to historical/colonial scope or current boundaries.
- Prefer wdt:Pxxx for normalized/direct values when qualifiers aren't needed. Use p:Pxxx / ps:Pxxx / pq:Pxxx to access qualifiers (e.g., pq:P585 for award year). Always fetch labels with rdfs:label + FILTER(LANG(?label) = "en"). When computing derived metrics (density/rates) confirm unit consistency (area units) and datatypes and do calculations inside SPARQL.
- If search_autocomplete returns too many candidates or errors, retry with constraints (e.g., SELECT * WHERE { ?search wdt:P31 wd:Q5 }) or narrower query text. If still failing, fallback to search_entity and verify wdt:P31 for type checks.
- For award-year queries use p:P166 / ps:P166 / pq:P585 to access award statements and year qualifiers. Filter by xsd:dateTime ranges (e.g., >= "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime && < "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime) instead of YEAR() for robustness.
- Use search_property_of_entity to surface relevant properties for an entity (e.g., 'birth' -> P569/P19; 'cause of death' -> P509; 'manner of death' -> P1196). list(...) can inspect triples but may return large results for notable items—prefer targeted wdt: patterns (wdt:Pxxx) or p:/ps:/pq: patterns when you need qualifiers.

Additional rules to follow:
- Explain your thought process before and after each step and function call.
- Do not just use or make up entity or property identifiers without verifying their existence in the knowledge graphs first.
- Do not ask the user for clarifications without first attempting to complete the task. If the task input is incomplete or ambiguous, try to make reasonable assumptions and document them.
- Do not use "SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language ..." in SPARQL queries. It is not SPARQL standard and unsupported by the used QLever SPARQL endpoints. Use rdfs:label or similar properties to get labels instead.
- Always execute your final SPARQL query before giving an answer to make sure it returns the expected results.
- The SPARQL query should always return the actual identifiers / IRIs of the items in its result. It additionally may return labels or other human-readable information, but they are optional and should be put within optional clauses unless explicitly requested by the user.
- Do not stop early if there are still obvious improvements to be made to the SPARQL query. For example, keep refining your SPARQL query if its result contains irrelevant items or is missing items you expected.
- Do not perform additional computation (e.g. filtering, sorting, calculations) on the result of the SPARQL query to determine the answer. All computation should be done solely within SPARQL.
- For questions with a "True" or "False" answer the SPARQL query should be an ASK query.

I see that the production company is not directly listed in the top triples. The most relevant property for production companies in media is often `wdt:P123` (publisher) or `wdt:P178` (developer), but for anime, the production company is usually linked via `wdt:P123` or sometimes `wdt:P162` (producer). Let me search for properties related to "production" or "company" for this item.

I'll use `search_property_of_entity` to find properties related to production or company for *Samurai Champloo*.

I found the property `wdt:P272` (production company) which is exactly what I need. Now I will query for the production company of *Samurai Champloo* using `wdt:P272`.

execute

SELECT ?company WHERE { wd:Q143276 wdt:P272 ?company }

[Assistant]
The production company of *Samurai Champloo* is **Manglobe** (`wd:Q645476`). Now, I need to check whether Manglobe is still existing. To do this, I will check if Manglobe has a dissolution date (`wdt:P576`), which indicates when a company ceased to exist.

I'll query for the dissolution date of Manglobe.

SELECT ?dissolutionDate WHERE { wd:Q645476 wdt:P576 ?dissolutionDate }

[Assistant]
Manglobe has a dissolution date of **2015-09-30**, which means the company ceased operations on that date. Therefore, the production company of *Samurai Champloo* is no longer existing.

### Final Answer:
The production company of *Samurai Champloo*, Manglobe, is no longer existing as it dissolved on September 30, 2015.

Here is the final SPARQL query that confirms this:

answer

SELECT ?company ?dissolutionDate WHERE { wd:Q143276 wdt:P272 ?company . ?company wdt:P576 ?dissolutionDate }

Answer: The production company of Samurai Champloo, Manglobe, is no longer existing as it dissolved on September 30, 2015.
