There is no built-in function or keyword in SPARQL to limit the count() directly. However, you can achieve the same result by using the LIMIT and OFFSET clauses along with the COUNT() function in your SPARQL query.


Here is an example of how you can limit the count(*) in SPARQL:

1
2
3
4
5
SELECT (COUNT(*) AS ?count)
WHERE {
  ?s ?p ?o .
} 
LIMIT 10


In this query, we are counting all triples in the dataset and limiting the result to the first 10 rows. You can adjust the LIMIT value to limit the count to a specific number of results.


Remember that the LIMIT clause limits the number of results returned by the query, so it is important to use it in conjunction with the COUNT(*) function to limit the count as well.
