To recursively query with SPARQL, you can use a combination of subqueries and common properties between linked resources. Here is an example of how you can construct a recursive query in SPARQL:

SELECT ?subtree
WHERE {
    ?subtree rdf:type <YourClass>.
    
    {
        SELECT ?parent
        WHERE {
            ?parent rdf:contains ?subtree.
        }
    } UNION {
        SELECT ?parent
        WHERE {
            ?subtree rdf:contains ?child.
        }
    }
}


In this query, replace <YourClass> with the class you are interested in querying. This query will retrieve all resources that are linked to a common parent resource either directly or indirectly through a recursive relationship. You can customize the query based on your specific data model and requirements.
