Hi Jackie,

I would not use SPARQL for this since you don't have a question or something to reason about to form a query.
You have a known identifier and are asking for all it's statements/claims  (we'll that can be done via SPARQL but I wouldn't advise it since it will be slower and a bit wasteful of resources)
Instead, just use one of the API's and as Fariz suggested you can even use the simple dereferenceable URI's (per-item access Linked Data URI's) or the Mediawiki API's wbgetentites to get all the info about an entity.

Hello Jackie,

not necessarily an answer, but you could get description/statements of Q# via: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q#.ttl

So, for instance, the (turtle syntax) statements of Indonesia would be: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q252.ttl

Hi,

I am extremely new to SPARQL and have yet to find how I could feed a file containing a series of Q item numbers in order to extract statements for our needs.
 
I suspect some of you may have succeeded in this. Would you recommend an API tool (or combination of tools) to use to extract all statements from a file that contains a series of Q item number? I must preface to say that I am a metadata person not a software developer.

Thank you very much for any pointers!

With regards,
--Jackie
