Well, I think we still need to decide something here. Right now, the rule is urlencode everything. This re-uses conventional tools very well, but handles safely but indelicately.

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/wiki/R2RML_Test_Cases_v1#Direct_Graph_I18NnoSpecialCharsDG Expected Result 1 shows the impact of urlencoding everything. Expected Result 2 shows what happens if we only escape the characters we need to, i.e. [,#=/>] .
