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.
