As a bit of technical background, we use the Apache Jena SPARQL engine, known as ARQ [1]. This engine has been around for a long time and was mainly written by Andy Seaborne who used it to explore the evolution of the original SPARQL standard and beyond with various extensions. In some features it still goes beyond SPARQL 1.1, but with others the official standard caught up or created small differences from the original implementations. One such example is the LET keyword that later became BIND, another is NOT EXISTS which must be wrapped into a FILTER clause. Yet ARQ still understands the old syntax unless deactivated.

To align with the official syntax also from TBC, use this setting

Thanks Irene!  TBC has spoiled me for so long, I've forgotten the official syntax.

    Use FILTER NOT EXISTS

    Correct syntax is in the SPARQL spec e.g.,
    https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#neg-pattern
    <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
    <https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#aggregates>

    I think these are the two main items.

    Another question... any thoughts on the correct syntax of NOT
    EXISTS in the EDG SPARQL editor?  Also, is this editor documented
    somewhere such that I can read-up on the correct syntax?  I have
    a lot of "querying" to do and I need to do it within EDG unless I
    open the XDB graph in Composer.  I'm hesitant to do that as I
    have had it cause corruption issues in the past.

    Thanks!

        I will give it a try.

            Just to chime in, that second syntax is exactly what I
            always use.

                If I recall correctly, this is a consequence of the
                third party sparql query editor library we use in the
                browser being a bit more picky about syntax than we
                are in Composer itself.

                I think I worked around it in the past by changing
                any instance of SELECT COUNT(*) to SELECT (COUNT(*)
                as ?count), or something similar.

                    Hi,

                    Could someone please check this query in EDG?

                    SELECT COUNT(*)
                    WHERE {
                        ?s rdfs:label ?slabel .
                    }

                    Using TBC 7.0.3, I start TBC, after closing all
                    browsers, open EDG , open the Kennedy Family Data
                    Graph, open a SPARQL panel and type in the query
                    above.

                    EDG thinks there is an error in the query:

                    <image.png>

                    Remove the COUNT, and it will work.

                    Using the same query in TBC, it executes as
                    expected.  I've reset the SPARQL panel to the
                    default query and re-typed the query several
                    times with the same error message.

                    Am I missing something obvious?

                    Thanks,

                    Tim
