This tutorial goes through some basic SPARQL queries in order to give the user a sense of how to discover and query different Linked Data (LD) sets. It seeks to answer, through some examples, the following questions:1. How do I know where to look to identify LD sets? 2. Once I know that a LD set of interest exists, how should I query it? 3. How do I query across different LD sets?
