Use FILTER NOT EXISTS

Correct syntax is in the SPARQL spec e.g., 
https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#neg-pattern. When in doubt, simply check 
the spec.

As Pat said, TBC (and Jena, I think) support syntax as per the spec as well as 
certain shortcuts, but SPARQL editor in EDG only supports syntax as per the 
spec:

- EXISTS and NOT EXISTS should always be preceded by the FILTER.

- Aggregate functions (count, min, avg, etc.) in the SELECT clause should 
always be stated as follows (F(?var1) AS ?var2) - see 
https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#aggregates

I think these are the two main items.
