        Launches the query of the current object to the specified endpoints, given the query options to constraints

        :param check_type: Boolean.

        Check the type of the object (e.g: Book, Person, Location,…) directly in the SPARQL queries.
        If True, the restriction of the object's type is done in the query.
        For instance, if the object is a Book, activating type checking will build queries where the object
        to find (?Book) is constrained by an union of RDF triples checking that ?Book is a Book:
        ``[…] { ?Book a fabio:Book  } UNION […] UNION { ?Book a schemaorg:Book  } .``

        :param strict_mode: Boolean.

        Check the type of the object's attributes (e.g: label, first name,…) directly in the SPARQL queries.
        If True, the predicates of the triplet whose values are instantiated will have their types checked
        against the allowed types listed in self.voc_attributes.


        :Example:

        We are looking for a Thing whose *label* is "አዲስ አበባ".

        - Non strict mode will have its query restrained to elements satisfying
        the triplet ``?Thing ?has_label "አዲስ አበባ".``.
        The predicate is left undetermined (``?has_label`` is a variable).

        - In strict mode, we are strict about the types of predicates of the triplet.
        For the current class, those predicates will be listed in
        ``self.voc_attributes['has_label']`` and combined in the SPARQL query.
        Here, for the example, we set 'has_label' allowed the RDF predicates 'rdfs:label' and u'wdt:P1813'.

        >>> print(self.voc_attributes['has_label'])
        >>> [u'rdfs:label', u'wdt:P1813']

        So in strict_mode, the query will be constrained to:

        ``[…]{ ?Thing rdfs:label "አዲስ አበባ"  } UNION { ?Thing wdt:P1813 "አዲስ አበባ"  }.[…]``
