# About this graph

`uruguay-cows` is Uruguay's sworn livestock declarations (DICOSE, MGAP/SNIG) for 2024 and 2025, as RDF: every published row an observation in a Data Cube, every observation traceable to its file, every file to its download on the national catalogue. About twenty-five million quads, for some twelve million cattle, nearly five million sheep, a few hundred thousand horses and a declared number of goats.

Two ways in:

- the curated `cow_*` tools (`cow_herd`, `cow_rank`, `cow_area_profile`, `cow_compare`, `cow_quality_report`, …), listed beside Sophia's own tools on the same MCP endpoint; they name departments and species in plain words and refuse what they cannot answer;
- SPARQL (`sparql_query`), over the named graphs `urn:sophia:garden:uruguay-cows:cow:*`; wrap every pattern in `GRAPH`.

The guide graph `cow-tools-guide` explains what DICOSE is, how to read the cubes, the caveats, and how to find the rest of Uruguay's data, and keeps a list of questions with exact answers.
