Combining identical subjects in DBpedia SPARQL query

Question

I am using the following SPARQL query from PHP where $title is the same for all five query triples:

SELECT * WHERE {
    { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/$title> rdfs:label ?pageTitle . }
    UNION
    { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/$title> owl:sameAs ?sameAs . }
    UNION
    { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/$title> dbpedia-owl:abstract ?abstract . }
    UNION
    { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/$title> dbpedia-owl:thumbnail ?thumbnail . }
    UNION
    { <http://dbpedia.org/resource/$title> dbpedia-owl:wikiPageID ?wikiID . }
}

Is there a way to simplify this so that $title is only specified once in the query? I am thinking an anonymous node might be involved, somewhere? perhaps? :-)

Answer 1

SELECT * WHERE {
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/$title> ?p ?o . 
FILTER (?p IN (rdfs:label, owl:sameAs, dbpedia-owl:abstract, dbpedia-owl:thumbnail, dbpedia-owl:wikiPageID))  

Instead of FILTER (?x IN ()) you can also use VALUES (?x) {<...>, <...> } as mentioned in another reply
