Current SPARQL 1.1 standard uses 'AS' in some cases (e.g. BIND, or CONCAT), [1] but the right hand side is still a variable name, so it can't have embedded space as in your examples. Don't know about future plans, but it would be nice to have prettier column names built-in. :-) [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#CreatingValuesWithExpressions -- Mark Wallace Principal Engineer, Semantic Applications Modus Operandi, Inc.

Hi all, It is known that in the SQL standard we can escape the spaces in the column name using the double quote (“) as follows: SELECT "Balance" as "Account Balance" FROM “Account”, where the “Account Balance” is an alias name of the column "Balance" in the table of “Acount”. Does anyone know whether SPARQL standard has such feature of allowing space in the column header of the result set? Sort of like SELECT ?Balance AS "Account Balance" WHERE ....... If not, does W3C plan to support this? Thanks for any help in advance! Regards, Yingjie
