I'm trying to figure out whether the Wikidata label service (the stuff that is
invoked as
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" . }
in queries to the Wikidata query service) is something that can be done in
SPARQL or whether it is an extension that can't be done in SPARQL. Does
anyone know the answer to this?
The reason that I ask is that it appears that the service accesses the names
of SPARQL variables in solution sets, and I can't think of how it does that
using SPARQL facilities.
