Hi everyone, We are using ARQ's SPARQL parser to parse graph patterns and noticed that it allows dashes in variable names if these variables occur as the *object* location of a triple pattern. If the variable names at the *subject* location of a triple pattern contains dashes, it fails with a ParseException. As far as we could tell the SPARQL specification does not allow dashes in variable names at all (https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#rVARNAME). The pattern1 and pattern2 below should both fail, but the first one does not fail and the second does fail.
String pattern1 = "<test> https://www.tno.nl/example/b ?community-ID ."; ARQParser parser1 = new ARQParser(new StringReader(pattern1)); parser1.GroupGraphPatternSub(); String pattern2 = "?community-ID https://www.tno.nl/example/b <test> ."; ARQParser parser2 = new ARQParser(new StringReader(pattern2)); parser2.GroupGraphPatternSub(); Is this a bug?
