$smwgSparqlDataEndpoint is a configuration parameter that is used to set the endpoint (service URL) for data (SPARQL HTTP Protocol for Graph Management, i.e. SPARQL over HTTP service) on the semantic store when using a SPARQL database. The parameter was introduced in Semantic MediaWiki 1.6.0Released on 30 July 2011 and compatible with MW 1.15.x - 1.18.x..

No longer functional as of Semantic MediaWiki 7.0.0Released on 4 June 2026 and compatible with MW 1.43.x - 1.46.x.. The runtime shim that automatically translated $smwgSparqlDataEndpoint to its replacement has been removed, so this setting is now silently ignored. Migrate to configuration parameter $smwgSparqlEndpointNo description was provided. (key 'data') in "LocalSettings.php".1

Default setting

$smwgSparqlDataEndpoint = 'http://localhost:8080/data/';

This means that localhost is used as query location.

Changing the default setting

To modify the setting to this configuration parameter, add one of the following lines to your "LocalSettings.php" file:

Defining a different data endpoint

$smwgSparqlQueryEndpoint = 'https://localhost:8080/data/';

Disable the data endpoint

$smwgSparqlDataEndpoint = '';

This setting may be done if the SPARQL HTTP Protocol for Graph Management is not supported. However in some SPARQL databases this method is more efficient than SPARQL update.
