What I mean is... (with an example):
As far as I understand, these are valid triples that I can load into
Fuseki/Jena at the same time in the same graph
:alice :age "25"^^xsd:string;
:bob :age "20"^^xsd:integer;
If then I execute this query:
SELECT *
WHERE
{
?s :age ?age .
FILTER (?age < 30)
}
should Jena raise an error (because there is a :age property with a value that
is not integer), or should it simply ignore :alice entirely because the type of
the property (string) doesn't match the type that I'm querying for?
