This video presentation demonstrates how to construct SPARQL queries simply and easily using the Wikidata Query Service. It works through an example of searching for notable females educated at the University of Edinburgh, with results filtered by place of birth. The data is then visualized with images, timelines, maps, and in the new Timeline Viewer using Histropedia.
