Would the use of the "IterateWhile" module work here? Presumatly, I could write an ASK query that returns TRUE when the number of occurrences of a given delimiter is greater than 1. The body could then split off the first occurrence using the delimiter and then reset the string that is used in the ASK query. However, As I split them off, I would need to construct the RDF I want. The documentation indicates the result of the last iteration is what is passed on to the rest of the SPARQLMotion script, so I'm not sure how I would pass the RDF that gets constructed from each iteration on into the remainder of the SPARQLMotion script. I'm starting to play with that line of thinking now. Some input from the TopQuadrant folks here would be greatly appreciated!
