Hi Martynas,
I don't recall if nested graphs are allowed, but if so, this could work
better
SELECT ?employee ?reportsToEmployee ?reportsToEmployeeLabel WHERE {
GRAPH ?docGraph {
?doc sioc:has_container<https://localhost:4443/employees/>;
foaf:primaryTopic ?employee.
OPTIONAL { ?employee schema:sponsor ?reportsToEmployee.
OPTIONAL {
GRAPH ?reportsToEmployeeLabelGraph { ?reportsToEmployee
<http://purl.org/dc/terms/title> ?reportsToEmployeeLabel. }
}
}
}
}
ORDER BY ?doc
So second OPTIONAL inside the first one. That makes sure second OPTIONAL
isn't left unbinded.

Hi,
despite using SPARQL for years, cases where different implementations

I have a rather simple query:
PREFIX schema: <https://schema.org/>
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX sioc: <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#>
SELECT * WHERE {
GRAPH ?docGraph {

foaf:primaryTopic ?employee.
OPTIONAL { ?employee schema:sponsor ?reportsToEmployee. }
}
}
ORDER BY ?doc

So far so good -- the results are identical. Now I append an OPTIONAL
to the end of the query:
PREFIX schema: <https://schema.org/>
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
PREFIX sioc: <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#>
SELECT ?employee ?reportsToEmployee ?reportsToEmployeeLabel WHERE {
GRAPH ?docGraph {
?doc sioc:has_container <https://localhost:4443/employees/>;
foaf:primaryTopic ?employee.
OPTIONAL { ?employee schema:sponsor ?reportsToEmployee. }
}
OPTIONAL {
GRAPH ?reportsToEmployeeLabelGraph { ?reportsToEmployee
<http://purl.org/dc/terms/title> ?reportsToEmployeeLabel. }
}
}
ORDER BY ?doc
Dydra returns 9 results:

Dydra's result is the one I'm going after, and is based on my
understanding of OPTIONAL. But is it actually correct?
And if Dydra is correct, what is Fuseki doing here? I would have
expected the ?reportsToEmployee bindings from the appended OPTIONAL to
be joined against the first result (without OPTIONAL), but that is not
the case?
Thanks.
