Query the Scottish Government statistics SPARQL endpoint at statistics.gov.scot — the official Scottish counterpart to ONS data, published as RDF DataCube vocabulary. Use when the question is about Scotland-specific statistics that join cleanly to the sp (Scottish Parliament) facility: economic indicators, demographics, public-sector finance, housing, transport, environment per Scottish council / SPC / Intermediate Zone. Free SPARQL 1.1, no auth. Endpoint sometimes 503s under load; retry with backoff.

statistics.gov.scot SPARQL

Base URL: https://statistics.gov.scot/sparql. SPARQL 1.1; no auth. Polite User-Agent expected (library sets forgetmenot-scotgov-stats/0.1).

Sister to the wikidata and Parliament sparql facilities — same generic-query pattern, narrower domain (Scottish statistics).

CLI

parl scotstats datasets --take 50
parl scotstats query 'SELECT ?dataset (COUNT(*) AS ?obs) WHERE {
  ?dataset a <http://purl.org/linked-data/cube#DataSet> .
} GROUP BY ?dataset LIMIT 10'
parl scotstats dimensions http://statistics.gov.scot/data/population-estimates-current-geographic-boundaries

Joins to Parliament

Pair with sp for Scottish-Parliament + Scottish-stats joins: "what's the unemployment rate in this MSP's constituency", "how has X changed under the SNP government".
Use Wikidata QIDs as a meta-bridge to Westminster members records when an MP was previously an MSP.

Provenance to cite

Tier 3 — third-party (Scottish Government), authoritative.

Inline cite: "(via statistics.gov.scot)" — once per paragraph.
For formal output, name the dataset URI you queried.
Endpoint can be intermittently down (503 reported May 2026); cite the date you pulled the data.
See ../../docs/provenance.md.

sparqling-cleanup

danbri/forgetmenot

Tidy a messy SPARQL query into the house style WITHOUT changing what it means, and prove the meaning is unchanged. Use whenever you are cleaning up, reformatting, commenting, or de-duplicating a SPARQL query (e.g. the queries embedded in the api.parliament.uk procedure-browser pages) and need a repeatable methodology plus a checker that confirms the before/after pair is equivalent. Bundles the cleanup rules, a worked before/after example, and `bin/sparql-equiv.sh` — an equivalence checker using Apache Jena ARQ (canonical algebra) plus optional live-endpoint result-set comparison.

parliament-thesaurus

danbri/forgetmenot

Bulk-export the UK Parliament Thesaurus — the SKOS concept scheme used to subject-tag debates, papers, written questions, and other parliamentary records. Crawls the legacy Linked Data API at lda.data.parliament.uk/terms (no SPARQL endpoint exposed for it) into a single N-Quads file split across topical named graphs. Use when a question needs the thesaurus as RDF (e.g. for joining into a local SPARQL store, building a faceted UI, or exporting subject hierarchies). The thesaurus is the canonical subject vocabulary at parliament.uk; pair with `linked-data-api` for the document-level metadata that references these terms.

skill-bill

danbri/forgetmenot

Research dossier + method for reconciling UK Bills across every surface that records them — the Bills REST API, the UK Parliament Thesaurus (LEG terms), the DDP SPARQL store (ActOfParliament / StatutoryInstrumentPaper), legislation.gov.uk, Wikidata (via QLever), modern Hansard and Historic Hansard (1803–2005), and the Journals of the House. Use when you need to know WHERE a bill (especially a pre-2015 historical one) is recorded, how complete each source is, whether matching them is a SPARQL/ETL job or an AI/fuzzy one, and how to build a bill-identity crosswalk graph (billId ↔ LEG term ↔ Hansard stages ↔ resulting Act ↔ legislation.gov.uk ↔ Wikidata QID). Complements the `bills` skill (which just wraps the live Bills API).

fmkg-feeds-rssatom

danbri/forgetmenot

Query the forgetmenot RSS/Atom feed catalogue — a concrete, metadata-rich index of every syndication feed across the UK Parliament web estate (House of Commons Library and House of Lords Library WordPress archives, exposed as <archive>/feed/, plus the first-party Bills API RSS), built by this repo and served on the fpkg demo app at https://fpkg.fly.dev/kgx/feeds. Use when the question is "what RSS/Atom feeds exist for Parliament", to enumerate per-topic / per-type / per-tag / per-author Library feeds with chamber + subject metadata, to track new Library briefings or Bills, or to cross-walk Library subject feeds against a controlled vocabulary (EuroVoc / GEMET) via the skosdex skill. Distinct from `library-feeds` (which wraps the official api.parliament.uk/library-feeds Rails aggregator); this is our own derived catalogue with a richer taxonomy and a live reader UI.

skosdex

danbri/forgetmenot

Search and query skosdex (skosdex.fly.dev) — a skills-first index of ~648 openly-licensed SKOS concept schemes (controlled vocabularies / thesauri) from around the world: AGROVOC, EuroVoc, GEMET, LCSH, Getty AAT/ULAN, IPTC NewsCodes, Loterre, Finto/YSO and many more, ~2.5M concepts with cross-vocabulary skos:exactMatch / closeMatch mappings. Two surfaces: a Solr full-text index (the fast, populated search surface) and a SPARQL 1.1 endpoint (Oxigraph) where each scheme is its OWN NAMED GRAPH — the default graph is empty, so SPARQL patterns must use GRAPH ?g { … }. Third-party, NOT UK Parliament. Use when you need to look up a subject term / concept, walk a broader/narrower thesaurus hierarchy, or bridge a term across controlled vocabularies (e.g. tag parliamentary material against EuroVoc or GEMET).

kgx-node-flow

danbri/forgetmenot

kgx node-flow lib — the canonical implementation of the daisychain / pivcab / studio op-node API. Use when wiring a new chain, adding an op kind, exposing a new SPARQL endpoint, writing tests against the library chain spec, generating a TriG manifest from a chain, or debugging why a saved chain isn't replaying. Read this before touching `demos/parliament-live/web/kgx/lib/*.mjs`, `demos/parliament-live/web/kgx/daisychain/index.html` op-table or starter-list, `bin/kgx.mjs` SPARQL routing, or the LIBRARY iteration tests.
