Hello,

I would like to ask if it is doable to do something like this in Sparql on
Jena TDB.

I would like to calculate the difference between 2 dates.

What I have at the moment working is:

     BIND(fn:year-from-dateTime(?date_of_birth) AS ?year_of_birth)

shorter:
YEAR(?date_of_birth)

     BIND(fn:year-from-dateTime(?date_of_death) AS ?year_of_death)
     BIND(?year_of_death - ?year_of_birth AS ?age)
     BIND(fn:concat(?age, " (", ?year_of_birth, "-", ?year_of_death,
")" ) AS ?age_at_death)

ARQ supports xsd:duration.

?date_of_death - ?date_of_birth -> xsd:duration

assuming ?date_of_death and ?date_of_birth are well-formed xsd:dateTimes.


Unfortunately it is not perfect calculation because it just subtracts two
years from ech other and will now answer precisely how old was someone when
he died.

I would need to extract years from xsd:duration

Is it possible to do it?

I would appreciate any answer.
