Rich,

we do not support any other functions for XSD duration literals (such as P0Y0M0DT22H0M0.000S) apart from those in the SPARQL 1.1 standard.

Rich; Not sure if the difference in expectation is with the version TopBraid being used, but using 4.3, smf:duration() takes xsd:dateTime and will return down to the milliseconds. As an example, to get the number of seconds between a dateTime property and the current xsd:dateTime, you can use the following:

SELECT ?dur
WHERE
{  ?s ex:dt ?time
   BIND(smf:duration("s", ?time, now()) AS ?dur)
}

Scott: I'm aware of the SPARQL and TopBraid functions you mention. But to my knowledge, these functions do not operate on duration literals like P0Y0M0DT22H0M0.000S, which was returned by my query subtracting two xsd:time or xsd:dateTime literals (see original post). As I mentioned, smf:duration seems to take two xsd:date variables as input, which means it is not suitable for determining the duration between arbitrary times.

    Rich, there are a number of SPARQL and TopBraid functions that
    work on xsd:time and xsd:dateTime  for SPARQL, see
    http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#func-date-time
    <http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#func-date-time>, including
    year(), month(), day(), hours(), timezone(), etc.

    TopBraid also has functions for duration, formatting date
    strings, etc.  I.e. you can convert a dateTime string to a date
    string using dateFormat().  See TopBraid Composer Help TopBraid

    Hi. I have been trying to do some temporal arithmetic in SPARQL
    and have stumbled upon what I believe are time periods or time
    intervals. For example

    SELECT ?a ?aa
    WHERE {
    BIND (("08:15:00"^^xsd:time - "10:15:00"^^xsd:time) AS ?a)
    BIND (("2012-09-08T08:15:00"^^xsd:dateTime -
    "2012-09-07T10:15:00"^^xsd:dateTime) AS ?aa)
    }

    Results:

    ?a -> -P0Y0M0DT2H0M0.000S  (negative 2 hours)
    ?aa -> P0Y0M0DT22H0M0.000S (positive 22 hours)

    My question: Is there any way to operate on these time periods?
    In particular, suppose I want to convert the length of these
    these periods into seconds or minutes. smf:duration does
    something similar, but it works on xsd:date values, and not time
    periods. If smf:duration took xsd:dateTime or xsd:time
    arguments, that would be helpful.

    Do you have any pointers to functions that extract information
    from these time periods? I suppose I can figure a way to do the
    arithmetic myself using days(), hours(), minutes() functions,
    but I would prefer to avoid that.

    Thanks, Rich
