Thanks a lot - Point noted on the incorrect time zone format.
Regarding the latitude/longitude, my mistake and I suppose float would be
the most appropriate:
INSERT DATA {
<http://someURI>
<http://someURI/Latitude>
"51.5049832"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#xsd:float>
}
Regarding the parse error with the quotations:
- Replacement with single ' worked fine.
- Replacement with \" allows the insert to occur but the \ is then
contained in the literal that is inserted:
INSERT DATA { <http://someURI> <http://someURI/hasText> "How to deal with a
quotation \" in the middle of a string"}
- Replacement with """ results in a parse error again.
INSERT DATA { <http://someURI> <http://someURI/hasText> "How to deal with a
quotation """ in the middle of a string"}
Forgive me if I misunderstood something on this topic.
Regards.
