EU Open Data Portal SPARQL endpoint

The EU Open Data Portal also can be accessed by the machine readable SPARQL endpoint. SPARQL is a RDF query language, a semantic query language for databases. SPARQL endpoint is a conformant SPARQL protocol service. SPARQL endpoint enables users (human or other) to query a knowledge base via the SPARQL language. Results are typically returned in one or more machine-processable formats. It is used for manipulation of data, which is able to be stored in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. SPARQL queries RDF graphs. An RDF graph is a set of triples. For example: You can find specifications of SPARQL on the W3C web site: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/.
