Re: Column-valued and IRI term-type

Thank you Richard,

I have seen this section and I'm not sure it is absolutely clear.
However the test harness makes it very clear what the results should
be and so I leave this behaviour configurable.

I have one last question with a related issue:

In test #R2RMLTC0019b there should be a data error and I'm not sure I
understand why. It says "Test the generation of triples by using IRI
value in columns". Why is an IRI field value invalid for subject map?
It's term type is rr:IRI and the column value is a valid IRI.
According to http://www.w3.org/TR/r2rml/#dfn-term-generation-rules:

[...] if the term map's term type is rr:IRI:
1. [...]
2. If value is a valid absolute IRI [RFC3987], then return an IRI
generated from value.

The value "http://example.com/ns#Jhon" is a valid absolute IRI so why
not generate the triple below? Or does the data error occur in the
object?

<http://example.com/ns#Jhon> <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name>
"http://example.com/ns#Jhon"

Thanks,
Tomasz

A conforming R2RML processor may, however, allow other operations that do not require inspecting or returning these RDF terms, and thus may provide partial access to an output dataset that contains data errors. Nevertheless, an R2RML processorshould report data errors as early as possible.
