Deep Query
Sometimes data can be spread across multiple pages, so clicking around to find the data you need can be tedious. Deep Query lets you create queries to find the information you need in a single click.

Query Language
Deep Query uses SPARQL for its query language. You'll need to familiarise yourself with its syntax. If you get the syntax wrong, the editor will provide hints to help resolve them.
Resource Identifiers
All resources inside the database are referenced in SPARQL as "IRIs"; essentially URLs.
IRIs are long, so use PREFIX
to shorten them. For convenience, the default query includes all prefixes.
Below is a list of resource types, how to reference them with prefixes, along with some examples.
Wiki
PREFIX w: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/>
You can find the wiki identifier by the URL while at a wiki.
For example w:xenoblade-chronicles-x
is the Xenoblade Chronicles X wiki.
Query Multiple Wikis
By default WHERE
uses the current wiki's resources. The below query adds a second wiki to its query using the SERVICE
syntax. It lists collectibles in Xenoblade Chronicles which are also available in its Future Connected expansion.
SELECT ?collectible
FROM w:xenoblade-chronicles
WHERE {
?collectible a et:Collectible .
?collectible p:name ?name .
SERVICE w:xenoblade-chronicles-future-connected {
[] xcfc_p:name ?name
}
}
You can also use the FROM NAMED
syntax.
SELECT ?collectible
FROM w:xenoblade-chronicles
FROM NAMED w:xenoblade-chronicles-future-connected
WHERE {
?collectible a et:Collectible .
?collectible p:name ?name .
GRAPH w:xenoblade-chronicles-future-connected {
[] xcfc_p:name ?name
}
}
When using multiple wikis, you will need to specify additional prefixes to access that wiki's resources.
PREFIX xc1_p: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/xenoblade-chronicles/properties/>
PREFIX xc2_p: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/xenoblade-chronicles-2/properties/>
Wiki Resources
The IRI for wiki resources are prefixed by the wiki identifier. For the examples below, replace wiki-id
with the appropriate wiki identifier.
For example, Xenoblade Chronicles X's wiki identifier is xenoblade-chronicles-x
so its resources looks like <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/xenoblade-chronicles-x/properties/description>
.
Entity Type, Category, Table
PREFIX et: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/wiki-id/types/>
You can find the entity type identifier by the URL while at a category page.
For example t:Collectible
is the "Collectible" category. The below matcher will only match entities under the Collectible category.
?collectible se:type t:Collectible .
Property, Column
PREFIX p: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/wiki-id/properties/>
You can find the identifier for each property predicate by hovering over their columns in the database view.
For example, all tables have a Name
column which has a name
identifier, so its IRI is <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/wiki-id/properties/name>
or p:name
.
Entity, Row, Page
PREFIX e: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/wiki-id/entities/>
You can find the entity identifier by the URL while at an entity page.
Generally, accessing entities directly isn't too useful. If you don't know the entity identifier, you can match a property to find it.
?collectible p:name ?name .
Relationship
PREFIX r: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/wiki-id/relationships/>
You can access relationship data similar to entities using properties as predicates.
To traverse relationships, use "blank nodes" syntax to avoid creating intermediate variables for relationships. For example, we can go from a collectible, through its weather relationship property and get the weather's name in a single line.
?collectible p:Collectible-WEATHER [sr:end [p:name ?weather]] .
Relationship Type
PREFIX rt: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/wiki-id/relationshipTypes/>
Generally, you won't need to directly reference relationship types in your query.
Schema Resources
The above resources are used to access wiki-specific resources. To access metadata such as identifiers, timestamps and pointers, you'll need to use schema resources.
Database Schema
PREFIX s: <https://frontiernav.net/schema/>
s:type
The schema type of the subject.
s:entityType
s:relationshipType
s:entity
s:relationship
Entity Schema
PREFIX se: <https://frontiernav.net/schema/entity/>
se:id
The entity indentifier
e:gem
se:type
The entity type of this entity.
et:Collectible
se:updatedAt
When this entity was last changed.
2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
Relationship Schema
PREFIX sr: <https://frontiernav.net/schema/relationship/>
sr:id
The relationship indentifier
r:gem__Collectible-RARITY__rare
sr:type
The relationship type of this relationship.
rt:Collectible-RARITY
sr:updatedAt
When this relationship was last changed.
2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
sr:start
The start entity of this relationship.
e:gem
sr:end
The end entity of this relationship.
e:rare

Example Query
The below query for Xenoblade Chronicles X lists all collectibles in Sylvalum along with their time and weather conditions. It uses a range of resources and SPARQL features such as:
"Blank nodes" using
[
and]
for streamlined relationship traversal.FILTER
to show only a specific region.OPTIONAL
for showing the description when it's available. Without it, it will only show rows with descriptions.
PREFIX s: <https://frontiernav.net/schema/>
PREFIX se: <https://frontiernav.net/schema/entity/>
PREFIX sr: <https://frontiernav.net/schema/relationship/>
PREFIX et: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/xenoblade-chronicles-x/types/>
PREFIX e: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/xenoblade-chronicles-x/entities/>
PREFIX p: <https://frontiernav.net/wiki/xenoblade-chronicles-x/properties/>
SELECT DISTINCT ?collectible ?rarity_name ?time ?weather ?description
WHERE {
?collectible se:type et:Collectible .
?collectible p:CollectibleArea-CONTAINS-Collectible [sr:start [p:Region-CONTAINS-CollectibleArea [sr:start ?region]]] .
FILTER (?region=e:sylvalum)
?collectible p:Collectible-RARITY [sr:end ?rarity_name] .
?collectible p:Collectible-TIME [sr:end ?time] .
?collectible p:Collectible-WEATHER [sr:end ?weather] .

A chemical produced when rainwater reacts with an unknown airborne substance. It's harmless for living organisms, but can dissolve most inorganic matter.
Mizaria Celery
Prime
Early Morning
Rain
A rare type of celery that arises only from the crevices of deceased fauna soaked by incessant rain. Its taste depends entirely on the type of carcass from which it grew.
Camocloak
Unique

Rain
The cloth used to make this cloak imitates its surroundings. It looks to have been invented by an advanced civilization that has since gone extinct.

Rain
A high-energy laser mounted on the White Whale. It has since been decommissioned, but the scars of battle still stain its scorched barrel.
