In Python, while we have the option of querying the database with SPARQL, we can take advantage of the RDFLib package, a library used to work with RDF.
From our virtual environment, we can install it using pip:
$ pip install rdflib
Given the complexity of the Semantic Web topic, we prefer to dig into an example so that you can have the flavor of the capabilities of DBpedia, and at the same time, ...
