$cache = new \Stash\Pool(new \Stash\Driver\FileSystem());
$people = new \Samwilson\SimpleWikidata\Query($sparql, 'en', $cache);
foreach ($people->getItems() as $person) {
    // Each $person is an Item object.
    $person->getLabel();
    $person->getPropertyOfTypeItem();
    $person->getPropertyOfTypeQuantity();
    $person->getPropertyOfTypeIdentifier(); // External identifier
    $person->getPropertyOfTypeUrl();
    $person->getPropertyOfTypeTime();
