As an example, consider: SELECT ?s WHERE { ?s <test:p> ?o . FILTER(?o = "true"^^xsd:boolean) } According to SPARQL, the '=' operator here checks for _boolean_ equality if ?o is bound to an xsd:boolean literal. Therefore, if ?o binds to "1"^^xsd:boolean (non-canonical but valid lexical representation), FILTER "passes". However, with variable replacement, the query would become: SELECT ?s WHERE { ?s <test:p> "true"^^xsd:boolean . } Depending on the system, this may not be equivalent (although it could be). Does DARQ account for this? Ankesh Sep11 Question for the Presentation Jesse Weaver Question asked by Question asked Presentation Questions
