<p><b>Semantic queries</b> allow for queries and analytics of associative and <a href="Contextualization_(computer_science)" title="Contextualization (computer science)">contextual</a> nature. Semantic queries enable the retrieval of both explicitly and implicitly derived information based on <a href="Syntax" title="Syntax">syntactic</a>, <a href="Semantics" title="Semantics">semantic</a> and <a href="Structural_information_theory" title="Structural information theory">structural information</a> contained in data. They are designed to deliver precise results (possibly the distinctive selection of one single piece of information) or to answer more <a href="Fuzzy_logic" title="Fuzzy logic">fuzzy</a> and wide open questions through <a href="Pattern_matching" title="Pattern matching">pattern matching</a> and <a href="Reasoning_system" title="Reasoning system">digital reasoning</a>.
</p><p>Semantic queries work on <a href="Named_graphs" class="mw-redirect" title="Named graphs">named graphs</a>, <a href="Linked_Data" class="mw-redirect" title="Linked Data">linked data</a> or <a href="Semantic_triple" title="Semantic triple">triples</a>. This enables the query to process the actual <a href="Entity%E2%80%93relationship_model" title="Entity–relationship model">relationships</a> between information and <i>infer</i> the answers from the <i>network of data</i>. This is in contrast to <a href="Semantic_search" title="Semantic search">semantic search</a>, which uses <a href="Semantics" title="Semantics">semantics</a> (meaning of language constructs) in <a href="Unstructured_data" title="Unstructured data">unstructured text</a> to produce a better search result. (See <a href="Natural_language_processing" title="Natural language processing">natural language processing</a>.)
</p><p>From a technical point of view, semantic queries are precise relational-type operations much like a <a href="SQL" title="SQL">database query</a>. They work on structured data and therefore have the possibility to utilize comprehensive features like operators (e.g. &gt;, &lt; and =), namespaces, <a href="Pattern_matching" title="Pattern matching">pattern matching</a>, <a href="Type_inheritance" class="mw-redirect" title="Type inheritance">subclassing</a>, <a href="Transitive_relation" title="Transitive relation">transitive relations</a>, <a href="Semantic_Web_Rule_Language" title="Semantic Web Rule Language">semantic rules</a> and contextual <a href="Full-text_search" title="Full-text search">full text search</a>. The <a href="Semantic_web" class="mw-redirect" title="Semantic web">semantic web</a> technology stack of the <a href="W3C" class="mw-redirect" title="W3C">W3C</a> is offering <a href="SPARQL" title="SPARQL">SPARQL</a><sup id="cite_ref-XML.com_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-XML.com-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-W3C_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-W3C-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> to formulate semantic queries in a syntax similar to <a href="SQL" title="SQL">SQL</a>. Semantic queries are used in <a href="Triplestore" title="Triplestore">triplestores</a>, <a href="Graph_databases" class="mw-redirect" title="Graph databases">graph databases</a>, <a href="Semantic_wiki" title="Semantic wiki">semantic wikis</a>, natural language and <a href="Artificial_intelligence" title="Artificial intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> systems.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2></div>
<p><a href="Relational_database" title="Relational database">Relational databases</a> represent all relationships between data in an <i>implicit</i> manner only.<sup id="cite_ref-ACM-DL_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ACM-DL-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ESWC_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ESWC-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, the relationships between customers and products (stored in two content-tables and connected with an additional link-table) only come into existence in a query statement (<a href="SQL" title="SQL">SQL</a> in the case of relational databases) written by a developer. Writing the query demands exact knowledge of the <a href="Database_schema" title="Database schema">database schema</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-IEEE_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IEEE-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-AAAI_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AAAI-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p><a href="Linked_Data" class="mw-redirect" title="Linked Data">Linked-Data</a> represent all relationships between data in an <i>explicit</i> manner. In the above example, no query code needs to be written. The correct product for each customer can be fetched automatically. Whereas this simple example is trivial, the real power of linked-data comes into play when a <i>network of information</i> is created (customers with their geo-spatial information like city, state and country; products with their categories within sub- and super-categories). Now the system can automatically answer more complex queries and analytics that look for the connection of a particular location with a product category. The development effort for this query is omitted. Executing a semantic query is conducted by <i>walking</i> the network of information and finding matches (also called <a href="Graph_traversal" title="Graph traversal">Data Graph Traversal</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-GraphQLang_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GraphQLang-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Another important aspect of semantic queries is that the type of the relationship can be used to incorporate intelligence into the system. The relationship between a customer and a product has a fundamentally different nature than the relationship between a neighbourhood and its city. The latter enables the semantic query engine to <i>infer</i> that a customer <i>living in Manhattan is also living in New York City</i> whereas other relationships might have more complicated patterns and "contextual analytics". This process is called inference or reasoning and is the ability of the software to derive new information based on given facts.
