Re: Property Path usage query

Not a formal response, but I think that would require aggregates, e.g.:

SELECT (MIN(?name) AS ?sname)
WHERE {
  <http://example.com/bob> foaf:knows ?person .
  ?person foaf:name ?name .
}
GROUP BY ?person

If you use PPs then you could write foaf:knows/foaf:name, but then you can't express the grouping, as there's an implicit variable in the path expression.
