[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] What are the German names of academic disciplines containing “linguistik”?

[Assistant]
To answer the question, "What are the German names of academic disciplines containing 'linguistik'?", I need to:

1. Identify academic disciplines in Wikidata that have "linguistik" in their German label.
2. Use the German language label (rdfs:label with lang="de") to retrieve the names.
3. Filter for items that are instances of academic disciplines (wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q11574 or similar).

### Step 1: Search for relevant entities
I'll first search for entities related to "linguistik" in German to see what items exist.

Question: linguistik

Top 10 entity alternatives:
1. TAFSIR LINGUISTIK (wd:Q127574326): is instance of scholarly article / is instance of academic article / scholarly article
2. Linguistik Online (wd:Q15753135), also known as LO: is instance of diamond open-access journal / is instance of open-access journal / is instance of scientific journal / is instance of academic journal / journal
3. Kamus Linguistik (wd:Q67393496): is instance of literary work / is instance of dictionary
4. Linguistik Indonesia (wd:Q96725533): is instance of scientific journal
5. Kajian Linguistik (wd:Q96720765): is instance of scientific journal / Indonesian scientific journal
6. Linguistik der Wissenschaftssprache (wd:Q110686461): is instance of version, edition or translation / book published in 1995
7. Gesellschaft für Angewandte Linguistik (wd:Q1341180), also known as GAL: German association for applied linguistics / is instance of professional association
8. Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (wd:Q1680675): is instance of Reference work / is instance of reference work
9. Universität Potsdam Department Linguistik (wd:Q101835890): is instance of Academic department / is instance of academic department / academic department / academic department
10. Zeitschrift fuer Germanistische Linguistik (wd:Q15758487): is instance of scientific journal / journal

[Assistant]
The search results show several entities related to "linguistik", but most are journals, books, or organizations — not academic disciplines themselves. I need to find academic disciplines (e.g., "Linguistik", "Sprachwissenschaft", etc.) that are instances of academic disciplines (wd:Q11574) and have German labels containing "linguistik".

### Step 2: Search for the property and class for academic disciplines
I'll check what property identifies an academic discipline and confirm its instance-of hierarchy.

I know that academic discipline is typically wd:Q11574. Let me verify by searching for entities with that class and German labels containing "linguistik".

I'll construct a SPARQL query to:
- Find items that are instances of academic discipline (wd:Q11574) or its subclasses.
- Filter for German labels containing "linguistik".
- Return the German label.

Let me write and execute the query.

execute

SELECT ?discipline ?label WHERE { ?discipline wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q11574 . ?discipline rdfs:label ?label FILTER(LANG(?label) = 'de') FILTER(CONTAINS(LCASE(?label), 'linguistik')) }

[Assistant]
The query returned no results, which suggests that either:

1. Academic disciplines with "linguistik" in their German label are not directly classified as `wd:Q11574` (academic discipline), or
2. The label is not stored with "linguistik" in lowercase or exact form, or
3. The discipline is represented differently (e.g., as a field of study, or under a different class).

Let me explore alternative approaches:

### Step 3: Search for German labels containing "linguistik" without filtering by class first
I'll look for any German-labeled items with "linguistik" in the label, regardless of class, to see what exists.

SELECT ?item ?label WHERE { ?item rdfs:label ?label FILTER(LANG(?label) = 'de') FILTER(CONTAINS(LCASE(?label), 'linguistik')) } LIMIT 10

Got 10 rows and 2 columns:
| item           | label                                                                                |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| wd:L1426487    | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de)                                                                                |
| wd:L1426487-F1 | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de)                                                                                |

| wd:L1426487-F3 | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de)                                                                                |
| wd:L1426487-F4 | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de)                                                                                |
| wd:L230586-S2  | Linguistik: anderer Ausdruck für semantisches Merkmal, Sem (lang:de)                                                                  |
| wd:L230588-S1  | Linguistik: der Zusammenhang oder das Umfeld eines Wortes oder einer Handlung (lang:de)                                               |
| wd:L230589-S2  | Linguistik: Analyseverfahren des Taxonomischen Strukturalismus: Zuordnung eines Segments zu einer Einheit des Sprachsystems (lang:de) |
| wd:L252705     | Linguistik (lang:de)                                                                                |
| wd:L252705-F1  | Linguistik (lang:de)                                                                                |

[Assistant]
I now see that there are German labels containing "linguistik", such as:

- **Linguistik**
- **Diskurslinguistik**

However, these are not regular Wikidata items (e.g., `wd:...`) but rather **Lexeme** entities (`wd:L...`), which are part of Wikidata’s **Lexicographical** data (for words and linguistic forms), not academic disciplines.

This means the labels I found are **lexical entries**, not academic disciplines like “Linguistik” as a field of study.

### Step 4: Search for academic disciplines in German with “linguistik” in their name, using the correct class
I need to find actual academic disciplines (e.g., “Linguistik” as a university subject), which should be instances of `wd:Q11574` (academic discipline) or subclasses.

Let me search for items with German labels containing “linguistik” and check their instance-of to see if any are academic disciplines.

I'll expand the search to include any item with a German label containing “linguistik” and show its instance-of.

SELECT ?item ?label ?instance WHERE { ?item rdfs:label ?label FILTER(LANG(?label) = 'de') FILTER(CONTAINS(LCASE(?label), 'linguistik')) . OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P31 ?instance } } LIMIT 20

SPARQL execution failed:
HTTPSConnectionPool(host='qlever.dev', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=30)

[Assistant]
The query timed out, likely because it's too broad. Let me refine it by focusing only on items that are likely to be academic disciplines — for example, those with labels matching common academic discipline patterns and filtering by known subclasses of academic discipline.

I'll try a more targeted approach: search for German labels containing "linguistik" and check if they are instances of `wd:Q11574` (academic discipline) or its subclasses like `wd:Q18616547` (field of study).

Let me first check what subclasses exist under academic discipline.

SELECT ?subclass ?label WHERE { ?subclass wdt:P279 wd:Q11574 . ?subclass rdfs:label ?label FILTER(LANG(?label) = 'en') } LIMIT 10

[Assistant]
This result is clearly incorrect — “leap second” is not a subclass of academic discipline. This suggests that the subclass hierarchy for `wd:Q11574` is either incomplete or misclassified in Wikidata.

Let me instead search for known academic disciplines in German that include "linguistik" by using a direct label search and manually inspecting a few results for their type.

I'll try a simpler query to get German labels with "linguistik" and their QIDs, then manually check one or two for their type.

SELECT ?item ?label WHERE { ?item rdfs:label ?label FILTER(LANG(?label) = 'de') FILTER(CONTAINS(LCASE(?label), 'linguistik')) } LIMIT 5

Got 5 rows and 2 columns:
| item           | label                       |
| -------------- | --------------------------- |
| wd:L1426487    | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de) |
| wd:L1426487-F1 | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de) |
| wd:L1426487-F2 | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de) |
| wd:L1426487-F3 | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de) |
| wd:L1426487-F4 | Diskurslinguistik (lang:de) |

[Assistant]
All the results are Lexemes (`wd:L...`), which are linguistic forms (e.g., words, phrases) in Wikidata’s Lexicographical data, not academic disciplines.

This suggests that **Wikidata does not currently model academic disciplines like “Linguistik” as items with German labels in the main entity namespace**. Instead, “Linguistik” as an academic discipline is likely represented as a concept in other systems (e.g., Wikipedia, or as a property value), but not as a Wikidata item with a direct German label and classification as an academic discipline.

### Step 5: Check if “Linguistik” exists as an academic discipline in English
Let me check if “Linguistics” (English) is an academic discipline in Wikidata.

Question: linguistics

Top 10 entity alternatives:
1. linguistics (wd:Q8162): is instance of academic discipline / scientific study of human language / is instance of field of study / is instance of academic major / is subclass of social science / is subclass of Social science / scientific study of language / is instance of discipline / is instance of specialism / is subclass of humanities / is instance of specialty
2. Linguistics (wd:Q6554075), also known as Linguistics: An Interdisciplinary Journal of the Language Sciences: is instance of academic journal / peer-reviewed academic journal
3. Kalbotyra (wd:Q50515524, matched via Linguistics), also known as Linguistics: Academic journal published by Vilnius University, covering the subjects: Language and Literature: Philology. Linguistics / is instance of open-access journal / is instance of academic journal / is instance of APC-free journal

9. Linguistics (wd:Q59023496): scientific article published in Nature / is instance of scholarly article / is instance of academic article
10. Linguistics (wd:Q96725507): is instance of scientific journal / Ukrainian scientific journal

[Assistant]
Great! Now I see that **wd:Q8162** is the Wikidata item for **"linguistics"** as an academic discipline.

Now I can check its German label:

SELECT ?label WHERE { wd:Q8162 rdfs:label ?label FILTER(LANG(?label) = 'de') }

Got 1 row and 1 column:
| label                        |
| ---------------------------- |
| Sprachwissenschaft (lang:de) |

[Assistant]
Perfect! The German name for the academic discipline "linguistics" (wd:Q8162) is **"Sprachwissenschaft"**.

Now, I need to find **all academic disciplines** (not just linguistics) that have **"linguistik"** in their German name.

I already know that "Linguistik" as a term appears in Lexemes, but not as an academic discipline item. However, there may be other disciplines like "Diskurslinguistik", "Soziolinguistik", etc., that are modeled as academic disciplines.

Let me search for all items that are instances of academic discipline (wd:Q8162 or wd:Q11574) and have German labels containing "linguistik".

I'll use `wd:Q8162` as the main item and check its subclasses, since `wd:Q11574` seems poorly populated.

I'll query for:
- Items that are subclasses of `wd:Q8162` (linguistics), or
- Items that are instances of `wd:Q11574` (academic discipline) and have German labels containing "linguistik".

Let me execute:

SELECT ?discipline ?label WHERE { { ?discipline wdt:P279 wd:Q8162 } UNION { ?discipline wdt:P31 wd:Q11574 } . ?discipline rdfs:label ?label FILTER(LANG(?label) = 'de') FILTER(CONTAINS(LCASE(?label), 'linguistik')) }

Got 30 rows and 2 columns, showing the first 5 and last 5 rows below:
| discipline                                | label                             |
| ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |

| textology (wd:Q1206895)                   | Textlinguistik (lang:de)          |
| Saami linguistics (wd:Q12718141)          | Samische Linguistik (lang:de)     |
| generative linguistics (wd:Q1369684)      | Generative Linguistik (lang:de)   |

| variational sociolinguistics (wd:Q999272) | Varietätenlinguistik (lang:de)    |

[Assistant]
Excellent! I now have a list of German names of academic disciplines containing "linguistik". These are all valid academic disciplines (subclasses or instances of linguistics or academic discipline) with German labels containing "linguistik".

The results include:

- **statistische Linguistik** (statistical linguistics)
- **Textlinguistik** (text linguistics)
- **Samische Linguistik** (Saami linguistics)
- **Generative Linguistik** (generative linguistics)
- **Allgemeine Linguistik** (general linguistics)
- **klinische Linguistik** (clinical linguistics)
- **deskriptive Linguistik** (descriptive linguistics)
- **Ethnolinguistik** (ethnolinguistics)
- **Korpuslinguistik** (corpus linguistics)
- **Varietätenlinguistik** (variational sociolinguistics)

And 20 more.

### Final Answer:
The German names of academic disciplines containing “linguistik” are:

- statistische Linguistik
- Textlinguistik
- Samische Linguistik
- Generative Linguistik
- Allgemeine Linguistik
- klinische Linguistik
- deskriptive Linguistik
- Ethnolinguistik
- Korpuslinguistik
- Varietätenlinguistik
- (and 20 others as listed)

I will now return the final SPARQL query and the answer.

[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.

[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] In what country is the Kandahar-downhill?

[Assistant]
To determine the country where the Kandahar downhill is located, I need to identify the location of the Kandahar downhill ski race. The Kandahar downhill is a famous alpine ski racing event, and it is typically held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. However, I should verify this information using the knowledge graph.

### Step 1: Search for the Kandahar downhill entity
I will first search for the entity "Kandahar downhill" to find its identifier and associated properties.

[Assistant]
The entity "Kandahar Downhill Piste" (wd:Q327818) is identified as a ski course in Bavaria, Germany. This matches the context of the Kandahar downhill ski race. Now, I will verify the location of this ski course by checking its administrative parent or country using the property `wdt:P131` (administrative territorial entity) or `wdt:P17` (country).

### Step 2: Retrieve the country of the Kandahar Downhill Piste
I will query the knowledge graph to find the country associated with the Kandahar Downhill Piste (wd:Q327818).

SELECT ?country WHERE { wd:Q327818 wdt:P17 ?country . ?country rdfs:label ?countryLabel FILTER(LANG(?countryLabel) = 'en') }

Got 1 row and 1 column:
| country           |
| ----------------- |
| Germany (wd:Q183) |

[Assistant]
The Kandahar Downhill Piste (wd:Q327818) is located in Germany (wd:Q183). This confirms that the Kandahar downhill ski race is held in Germany.

### Final Answer:
The Kandahar downhill is located in Germany.

Here is the final SPARQL query used to determine this:

```sparql
SELECT ?country WHERE {
  wd:Q327818 wdt:P17 ?country .
  ?country rdfs:label ?countryLabel
  FILTER(LANG(?countryLabel) = 'en')
}
```

I will now provide the answer.

answer

SELECT ?country WHERE { wd:Q327818 wdt:P17 ?country . ?country rdfs:label ?countryLabel FILTER(LANG(?countryLabel) = 'en') }

Answer: Germany
