You'll get me using CONSTRUCT soon :-)
(By the way, Tim's actual CONSTRUCT WHERE query isn't allowed because
of the FILTER).
Good catch... yes - I've been bitten by that kind of thing too... that
not all that's admissible in a WHERE 'body', is admissible in a
CONSTRUCT 'body'.
As far as I'm aware it is -- Tim's original simply misplaced a curly
brace. The filter ought to be in the WHERE body.
CONSTRUCT is essentially SELECT with a tabular data -> rdf system bolted
at the end of the pipeline.
I think the point people were making is that the syntactic shortform
"CONSTRUCT WHERE" with implicit template only applies when you have a
simple basic graph pattern [1].
If the WHERE clause is more complex, e.g. with a FILTER, then you need
an explicit construct template.

How did you come to that conclusion? Why do you need an explicit
construct template when using filters?
