How do I run a query?

	Running a query is pretty simple. You've just got to remember a few key things like property and property values. The property is stuff like Organization Type, License provider, etc.—basically the names of the fields you want to fill. The value is what you put into those fields; for instance, Organization Type might be "nonprofit" or "corporation".		Running a query is pretty simple. You've just got to remember a few key things like property and property values. The property is stuff like Organization Type, License provider, etc.—basically the names of the fields you want to fill. The value is what you put into those fields; for instance, Organization Type might be "nonprofit" or "corporation".

	The [[Special:Ask \| query page]] consists of two columns: "Query" and "Additional printouts". In the "Query" column you always want to put "double brackets" Category::Organization "close double brackets" because all ODEPO projects fall under the organization category. See http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Special:Ask?title=Special%3AAsk&q=[[Category%3A%3AOrganization]]&po=&sort0=&order0=ASC&sc=1&eq=yes.		The [[Special:Ask \| query page]] consists of two columns: "Query" and "Additional printouts". In the "Query" column you always want to put "double brackets" Category::Organization "close double brackets" because all ODEPO projects fall under the organization category. See http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Special:Ask?title=Special%3AAsk&q=[[Category%3A%3AOrganization]]&po=&sort0=&order0=ASC&sc=1&eq=yes. This link runs a query to list all pages with category of organization. So far, 1,000 plus organizations are in the database.

			You can further limit the query by property and property value. Just like you enclosed "Category::Organization" in brackets, you can enclose "License provider::CC" in brackets, or "Organization Type::nonprofit" and etc.

			The right column ("Additional printouts") is for what you want to see listed of each project. If you want to see organizations listed by property value, then you would put ?Property:Value. For instance, if you want to see which organizations have CC as their license provider, you would put "?License provider:CC". Or if you just want all organizations listed by all license providers, you would just put "?License provider". And so on.

			Try messing around with it first. You should catch on pretty quickly. If you're still having trouble, see [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Semantic_search querying help] on the semantic mediawiki how-to site.

	Excellent question. Say you want to find all projects that are nonprofits AND licensed CC BY. Or you want to find all self-identified "open" sites that are CC licensed in some form or another. You can find either case—in addition to various combinations of different values—by running a query.		Excellent question. Say you want to find all projects that are nonprofits AND licensed CC BY.

	You can pretty much do whatever you ~~want---as~~ long as you know how. If you aren't familiar with Semantic MediaWiki outside of this FAQ, I would avoid making any changes right now. Instead, read up on Semantic MediaWiki (http://semantic-mediawiki.org) and Mediawiki (http://www.mediawiki.org), which is what SMW is based on. You'll find FAQ's and user manuals there. In the meantime, we'll work on creating an easier way for you to add a field!		You can pretty much do whatever you want—as long as you know how.
