I am asking myself whether there is an error in the SPARQL grammar for typed RDFLiterals:
When I compare with N3 and Turtle: 1) N3: http://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/n3/ literal ::= string dtlang dtlang ::= "@" langcode | "^^" symbol symbol ::= explicituri | qname explicituri ::= <[^>]*> qname ::= /* what we called CURIE */ 2) Turtle: http://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/turtle/ literal ::= quotedString ( '@' language )? | datatypeString | integer | double | decimal | boolean datatypeString ::= quotedString '^^' resource resource ::= uriref | qname uriref ::= '<' relativeURI '>' qname ::= /* what we called CURIE */ Now, when I look at SPARQL's grammar I find: SPARQL: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ RDFLiteral ::= String ( LANGTAG | ( '^^' IRIref ) )? IRI_REF ::= '<' ([^<>"{}|^`\]-[#x00-#x20])* '>' Note: No qnames are allowed here in the type position, although qnames like xs:integer *are* actually used for typed literals in the examples in the SPARQL document. I assume this is a bug? Axel -- Dr. Axel Polleres, Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] url: http://www.polleres.net/ rdfs:Resource owl:differentFrom xsd:anyURI .
