Dear Sir/Madam, Noticed one strange thing while executing SPARQL queries on Virtuoso through Virtuoso Sparql Query Form.
I have two queries( the only difference between them is absence of the order by clause in the second query ) : select distinct ?assocUri {?assocUri < http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> < http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#ObjectProperty>. } ORDER BY ?assocUri This query returns following data: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/rf1/result2.xsd"> <head> <variable name="assocUri"/> </head> <results distinct="false" ordered="true"> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#exemplarAliquot </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persChild </literal></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persDZTwin </literal></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persKinsman </literal></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persMZTwin </literal></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persParent </literal></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persSample </literal></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persSibling </literal></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><literal> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#pers_ZTwin </literal></binding> </result> </results> </sparql> The second query: select distinct ?assocUri {?assocUri < http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> < http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#ObjectProperty>. } This query returns : <?xml version="1.0" ?> <sparql xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/sparql-results#" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/rf1/result2.xsd"> <head> <variable name="assocUri"/> </head> <results distinct="false" ordered="true"> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persDZTwin </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persKinsman </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persMZTwin </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#pers_ZTwin </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persSample </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persSibling </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persChild </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#persParent </uri></binding> </result> <result> <binding name="assocUri"><uri> http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1220554345.owl#exemplarAliquot </uri></binding> </result> </results> </sparql> So If I have the order by clause in my query I get literals instead of URI`s, and If I do not have order by clause I recieve URIs, as I would expect. Could I ask you to give some comments on this ? Best regards, S. Rikacovs.
