RE: Simple source tests

Dan,

Tests dawg-source-simple-00{4,5} illustrate queries involving SOURCE
over a graph with a single named container in a collection of named
containers (CNC) - which is the whole graph / [test 4] - and query over
a single RDF graph - no containers, just a plain RDF graph [test 5].

There are two possible ways to go on the case of:

   SOURCE ?src (?x ?y ?z)

and no CNC, just a plain graph, no name, no concept of named container.

1/ It can match with ?src unbound, or it can fail.  
2/ It can fail

Both would be reasonable: the first is more liberal, but if you are
sending a query expecting a CNC and there isn't one, then it's a bit
like sending a query expecting FOAF query to graph with RSS data.

I'm not sure which version of the tests you were looking at.  The
original version of the tests that I checked in, had no data files
assigned in the manifest except for test 5 (plain graph);  tests 1-4 got
their data from the FROM clause ; test 5 does not have a FROM clause and
got its graph to query from the query context (here, the manifest).  I
used this to be able to differentiate between a query over a CNC and
query where is just a graph, no a CNC.

Steve changed my tests to make the page generation work by adding back
in the data files for queries 1-4 in the manifest.  This broke them and
I have fixed up something for now.  It can only be a temporary solution,
because the test suite can't express the difference between querying a
plain old graph and a CNC as currently setup.
