Hello,There seems to be an issue with the SPARQL end point of DBPedia, http://dbpedia.org/sparql.
When I run this first query: SELECT ?result WHERE {<http://dbpedia.org/resource/WVNS-DT2 <http://dbpedia.org/resource/WVNS-DT2>> <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/formationDate <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/formationDate>> ?result. } I get the following result telling me that ?result is a date: <sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/rf1/result2.xsd"> <head> <variable name="result"/> </head> <results distinct="false" ordered="true"> <result> <binding name="result"><literal datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date">2006-09-13</literal></binding> </result> </results> </sparql>But when I want to find a resource which matches that specific date, no result are returned:
SELECT ?result WHERE { ?result<http://dbpedia.org/ontology/formationDate> "2006-09-13"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date>. }
gives <sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/rf1/result2.xsd"> <head> <variable name="result"/> </head> <results distinct="false" ordered="true"> </results> </sparql>Could this be a bug of some sort? I also tried to run the same couple of queries on http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql and everything works fine there.
