Hi Jamey,

Is it possible to escape special characters in abbreviated URIs in a SPARQL query? For example, how could one perform this query against Dbpedia:

 PREFIX dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/>
 DESCRIBE dbpedia:Newark%2C_New_Jersey

I've tried various things, but so far have only been able to make it work by using a non-abbreviated URI:

 DESCRIBE <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Newark%2C_New_Jersey>

I believe that's the only way. Abbreviated URIs only allow a very limited set of characters and don't have an escaping mechanism. Or, you could say, the escaping mechanism is to use the full URI.

Best,

Thanks,
Jamey
