Hi Richard,

I tried what you suggested and it did not work.

I get a:
HttpException: HttpException: 500 SPARQL Request Failed: rethrew:
HttpException: 500 SPARQL Request Failed

I have tried  this type of query on 2 other web site
endpoints and it works quite well.

PREFIX  rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#
PREFIX  rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#

     SELECT      ?label ?x
     WHERE
      {
     ?x  rdfs:label ?label.
        FILTER regex(?label, "(?i)engine").
     }

One of the sites bio2rdf.org uses virtuoso and
Another one does not.

The following query works ok at your site:
PREFIX  rdf: &lt;http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#&gt;
PREFIX  rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;

      SELECT      ?label ?x
      WHERE 
       { 
      ?x  rdfs:label ?label.
      ?x  rdfs:label "Steam engine"@en
      }

But for my application I need to find and return all the
engines such as:

Jet engine
Steam engine
Rocket engine
Search engine
etc.

I also need to do the same for other terms besides
Just "engine" such as "aircraft"

I believe there is something wrong with the way your
Virtuoso server is setup.
Why would this type of query work at other sites.
Could you please raise this issue with the
Virtuoso folks who manage your site.


Thanks, John

I haven't seen this (?i) syntax before. I would have tried something  
like

regex(?label, ".*engine", "i")

.* matches any sequence of characters. The third parameter should make  
the match case insensitive. I don't think that the @en is going to  
work here, you'll have to use a separate FILTER with lang(?label)="en"  
or something like that.

I haven't tried anything of the above, so my apologies if it's  
rubbish :-/

Richard
