             Summary: Handling strings for RDF 1.1 in SPARQL
                 Key: JENA-828
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-828
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: ARQ
    Affects Versions: Jena 2.12.1
            Reporter: Andy Seaborne
            Assignee: Andy Seaborne


RDF 1.1 defines simple literals and simple literals to be the same (literals 
with datatype xsd:string).  This affects the sorting, where the SPARQL 1.1 spec 
says simple literals sort before datatype literals.

Best compatibility is to make sorting: xsd:string < all other datatypes with 
same lexical form.

ARQ also defines ordering between any two RDF terms in a stable, predictable 
way based on lexical form first, then simple literals < lang literals < 
datatypes by URI. This is not covered by the SPARQL spec 

For RDF 1.1 this becomes
# Order by lexical form
# Order by xsd:string < language literals.
# Order by language literals, base don language tag (case-insensitive, then 
case senstive).
# Datatypes by URI string


A language literal has datatype rdf:langStirng but also has a non-empty 
language tag.
