From question
to subgraph

The question becomes a SPARQL query that traverses the ontology’s relations. What comes back is a subgraph: given the same data, the same query always returns the same relations.

    Yes, with
    conditions

    Research and medical purposes can coexist in the same crop. This is provided for under the Special Authorization (AE) regime for cultivation in RDC (Anvisa Collegiate Board Resolution) No. 1,013/2026.

    An answer that can be
    checked and reused

    The query retrieves relations that are already organized and returns the permission together with its conditions. The source comes with the answer; the RDF data can be queried by other systems.
