 ?p rdfs:label ?title .    }
can this query work in aws Neptune using sparql magic command.

Accepted Answer

Neptune supports SPARQL via the SPARQL 1.1 w3c specification.  As noted here:  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/feature-sparql-compliance.html

What you're referring to above is not part of the SPARQL 1.1 specification and is something custom within Stardog: https://www.stardog.com/blog/a-path-of-our-own/

Path finding queries are generally easier to express in the Property Graph query languages (Gremlin and openCypher):

If you're use case's primary function requires path finding, then we generally recommend to use Neptune to host a Property Graph instead of an RDF graph.
