• To see available command-line options, simply type spang

Examples

• Using SPARQL shortcuts

    spang uniprot -S tax:511145
    spang uniprot -S tax:511145 -a
    spang uniprot -S tax:511145 -q
    spang uniprot -S tax:511145 -f rdfxml
    spang uniprot -S tax:511145 -P up:otherName
    spang uniprot -S tax:511145 -P rdfs:subClassOf+/up:scientificName
    spang uniprot -P a -O up:Protein -N
    spang mbgd -L 10
    spang mbgd -G
    spang mbgd -O tax:511145 -G
    spang mbgd -F mbgdr:organism -O tax:511145

• Using SPARQL templates

    spang uniprot taxtree_ancestor 511145 -vac
    spang uniprot taxtree_ancestor 511145 -f json
    spang chembl list_dataset -vac
    spang chembl count_each_graph -vac
    spang mbgd search_each_class 'cyanobacteri*' -vac
    spang mbgd search_with_class orthology:OrthologsCluster 'photosystem ii' -vac
    spang mbgd mbgdl:get_ortholog K9Z723 | spang uniprot -S 1 -P rdfs:label
    spang mbgd mbgdl:get_ortholog K9Z723 | spang uniprot uniprot_xref PDB
    spang mbgd path/to/query.rq

• Typing SPARQL directly

    spang mbgd 'select * where {?s ?p ?o} limit 10'

• Using SPARQL code saved in clipboard

    pbpaste | spang uniprot -
