What happens to FILTERs? { FILTER(expr) ?x ns:p ?v . ?x ns:q ?w } is the algebra: (filter expr (bgp (triple ?x ns:p ?v) (triple ?x ns:q ?w) )) or written after FILTER motion: { ?x ns:p ?v . ?x ns:q ?w FILTER(expr) } But if we insert BIND(2*?v AS ?two) into that: { FILTER(expr) ?x ns:p ?v . BIND(2*?v AS ?two) . ?x ns:q ?w } There is a similar issue with bNode syntax label scopes. I propose that: 1/ BIND terminates the current BGP 2/ FILTER goes after BIND in the BGP so its: (join (filter expr (extend (2*?v AS ?two) (bgp (triple ?x ns:p ?v)) )) (bgp (triple ?x ns:q ?w)) ) or { { ?x ns:p ?v . BIND(2*?v AS ?two) . FILTER(expr)} ?x ns:q ?w } Logically it's BGP - BIND - FILTER Doing this keep entailment a matter of BGPs only. Without motion of BIND, it would need more work to come up with a design (if it exists) that keeps entailment on a conjuction of triple patterns and have the variable scoping + new variable rule. Lee's example: { ?x ns:p ?v . BIND(2*?v AS ?two) ?x ns:q ?two } will work and naturally falls out if BIND happens where it's mentioned. (join (extend (2*?v AS ?two) (bgp (triple ?x ns:p ?v))) (bgp (triple ?x ns:q ?two)) ) AndyReceived on Tuesday, 12 October 2010 19:36:59 GMT
