I have seen lots of great examples of the INSERT and the DELETE sparql 
syntax, but not so much on the MODIFY.

 

Specifically what I am looking todo is modify a text property I have added 
to an instance.  For example I created an instace of a class Person.  One 
of the properties on a Person would be has:LastName.  I wanted to write an 
updateQuery that would

1) Find the instance of the Person I wanted to change.  I am thinking I 
would pass the uri name to identify the correct instance.

2) Update the has:LastName property.

 

 

I have 2 separate scripts currently for Insert and Delete.  They work well.  
My insert script uses an RDF from a URL as its input and inserts the data 
into my ta_Ontology.  The Delete uses the rdf from workspace and a URI name 
I pass into the script. 

 

Without much thought I put the two together thinking I could Insert a 
property into an existing instance and then delete the old property.  However 
the script I jammed together does nothing.

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to construct a Modify script?

 

 

DELETE  {
    GRAPH 
<*http://org.woo2theha.tb/ta_Ontology*<http://org.woo2theha.tb/ta_Ontology>> 
{
        ?s ?property ?object .
    } .
}

INSERT  {
    GRAPH 
<*http://org.woo2theha.tb/ta_Ontology*<http://org.woo2theha.tb/ta_Ontology>> 
{
        ?s ?property ?object .
    } .
}
WHERE {
    BIND (spif:buildURI("ta_Ontology:{?arg1}") AS ?subject) .
    ?subject ?prop ?object .
}
