Hi,
I am aware of some earlier discussions on the list about blank nodes as well as
discussions on other places (e.g. [1]). So, my intention here is not to launch
a general purpose theoretic discussion here. Instead, I would focus on the
following question:
In the paper [2], authors say: "For example, ARQ is a commonly (re)used SPARQL
processor which supports a non-standard <_:b1> style syntax for terms in
queries, indicating that the term can only be bound by a blank node labeled
“b1” in the data." However, a simple query like the following
SELECT DISTINCT ?pp ?oo
WHERE {
<_:b1> ?pp ?oo .
}
gives an empty result set even though query
SELECT DISTINCT ?s ?pp ?oo
WHERE {
?s ?pp ?oo .
FILTER (isBlank(?s))
}
gives result set where _:b1 appears several times.
So, the question is whether I am using wrong syntax or something has changed in
ARQ or else?
Thanks,
Milorad
