Works for me: (jena 3.0.1)

langMatches(lang("wort"@de-de),(concat(str("de"),"-",str("de"))) )

so it looks like ?lang or ?locale.

Try adding ?lang and ?locale

Just the results don't provide a complete minimal example though I note they do not have ?Headline

If you have some short, sample data and a short query then it would be very helpful in understanding the issue.

I wonder if the problem is to do with the datatype of the string resulting

Can you try doing a BIND(concat(str(?lang),"-",str(?locale)) AS
?langMatch) in your query and selecting that variable out to see what
value you get, in particular I'm wondering if you are getting a typed
literal?

langMatches() wants a simple literal as the second argument and it is
possible that concat() is produced a typed literal

One possibility is simply to put str() around the concat() call and see if
that resolves things

There may also be some RDF 1.1 interaction going on here (if this is Jena
3.x) since literals without a type have an implicit type in RDF 1.1 that
may be causing the function evaluation to do the wrong thing which would
be a bug

Hi Andy,

thanks for the immediate reply.

We actually use "en-gb" for UK English in our model – but anyway…

My test-Scenario looks like

?lang = "de"
?locale = "de"

which in

langMatches(lang("wort"@de-de),(concat(str(?lang),"-",str(?locale))) )

unfortunately does not evaluate as true, althoughthe "hard-coded" variant

langMatches(lang("wort"@de-de),"de-de")

indeed does…

Since we *always* deploy language-locale *combinations* throughout the
data model – for fine grained targeting – using an adaption of your
other example

langMatches(lang("wort"@de-de),(concat("de","-","de")) )

evaluates to "true" as well – outputting "wort"@de-de

So the problem seems do lie in the string-making via str(?lang) and
str(?locale).

I also output both variables separately with the same query (for further
processing) which tells me they are filled correctly; also being quoted
in the result to demonstrate the string-property on both.

What else could possibly go wrong with a simple to-string conversion ?

Slightly confused greets,

Bardo

Hi all,

most likely I am missing something here, but maybe I am simply doing it
the wrong way:

I need to match a language-locale value where both language and locale
come from different branches in the data model.

So what I came up with in my FILTER clause is

langMatches(lang(?Headline),(concat(str(?lang),"-",str(?locale))) )

Is it meant to work this way or is the approach doomed by itself ?

Any suggestions very welcome. :-)

Regards,

Bardo


If ?Headline, ?lang and ?locale are right it will work but did you
mean the arguments the other way round?

langMatches(lang("word"@EN-uk),(concat("en","-","uk")) ) ==> true

But
langMatches(lang("word"@EN),(concat("en","-","uk")) ) ==> false

The second argument is the language range,

langMatches("en-UK","EN") => true
