How to access members of an rdf list with rdflib (or plain sparql)
- by tjb
What is the best way to access the members of an rdf list? I'm using rdflib (python) but an answer given in plain SPARQL is also ok (this type of answer can be used through rdfextras, a rdflib helper library).
I'm trying to access the authors of a particular journal article in rdf produced by Zotero (some fields have been removed for brevity):
