That is true. So, in the most general case, you are right, one should not expect the same result. But with the present data, where both these triples are present, I would expect the same result. > For what it is worth I have never seen the need to put in an empty "FROM" > so I am not sure why you have to do it as sparql will deal with all triples > outside of GRAPH{} blocks as if they match against the default graph in the > absence of any FROM's, although you can fake the change in default graph > with Virtuoso instructions like default-graph-uri. Right, I tried to insert the SH_GRAPH_URI in DB.DBA.SYS_SPARQL_HOST to set it, but it apparently had no effect... I don't know why and should investigate more. I might have gotten the host wrong, I suppose. So, that's why, but it shouldn't be relevant to the problem.
