The use case I mentioned earlier would not be supported: Extending the triple pattern fragments interface with a structured free-text object search: ?subject / ?predicate / ?object / ?freeText where the ?freeText field allows control characters (*, ?, …). Then the first 3 are IRIs/literals, the fourth is free-text. We cannot simply split this in two forms, because then we cannot combine a subject filter and a free-text filter. The datatype-based solution might work (even though I dislike that modeling), but then again we'd have to specify this is allowed for that field. This is probably best discussed in the freetext thread. Best, Ruben
