Hmmm...  Does that mean storing them twice?  

 

The issue that I'm going to face is that I have dozens of long (50+
lines) CONSTRUCT queries with lots of comments.  Can I assume I'm going
lose the comments when I move those scripts from 2.6.2 to 3.0?

 

In my current work, I had a PREFIX statement at the top of the CONSTRUCT
query and pressing OK in the module removed the PREFIX and expanded the
prefix to the full URI in the query text.  I don't usually embed PREFIX
statements into the queries in modules but if you do and they get
replaced and expanded, that will make for a really messy query to edit.

 

I understand the logic of storing them in SPIN RDF but is it possible to
store them in "as entered" text form as well as SPIN RDF?  It seems that
the logic is in place to generate the SPIN RDF from the text
representation already.  It would be nice if the GUI could store them as
entered too.

Hi Tim,

 

this has been disabled for now (by default) because SPARQLMotion modules
now store the SPARQL queries in SPIN RDF format. This format currently
only supports comments in the beginning of the query, e.g.

 

# This query is trivial.

# Yes. Really trivial.

ASK WHERE {

}

 

will be stored OK. All other comments are currently lost because this
would require some deep magic with the Jena SPARQL parser.

 

A work-around is to save your queries as strings (that's still allowed
but not encouraged by the UI). This would mean editing those values
differently, e.g. with the source code editor :( I can think of a number
of UI work-arounds that would always store them as strings if that's
needed by anyone.

Hi - in TBC 3.0 Beta 2 comments are still deleted when entering them in
SPARQLMotion modules such as CONSTRUCT queries, etc.

 

Any chance comments will be supported in the final release?  It is very
much of a pain to have comments deleted!  There is no way to document
your SPARQL in those modules and all good coders document their code...

Thanks,
