This function expects an R list or vector describing a query and constructs an appropriate query url embedding a JSON query, GETs the server response and (by default) parses the JSON result.
Usage
vfb_owl_query(
query,
path = "do/jsonQuery.html?json=",
server = getOption("vfbr.server"),
parse.json = TRUE,
...
)Arguments

Details
Note that the VFB OWL query endpoint by default wraps all results
inside a JSON result object called results. When
parse.json=TRUE, the returned results will be unwrapped to remove
this outer layer.
