I havea a question on in-scope variables and BIND, particularly, on item 12. in http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/docs/query-1.1/rq25.xml#sparqlGrammar " * The variable assigned in a BIND clause must not be already in-scope<http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#variableScope>. " I am not sure here, what "already" in-scope means. Can we clarify that? Particularly, when reading the in-scope definition, I am a bit unsure of what happens with regards to e.g. UNION queries, i.e. my feeling is that SELECT * { { BIND (1 AS ?Y) } UNION { <s> <p> ?Y } } shouldn't be different from SELECT * { { <s><p> ?Y } UNION { BIND (1 AS ?Y) } } and both should be allowed (returning 1 on the empty graph), is that correct? However, strictly reading: thanks, Axel -- Dr. Axel Polleres Siemens AG Österreich Corporate Technology Central Eastern Europe Research & Technologies CT T CEE Tel.: +43 (0) 51707-36983 Mobile: +43 (0) 664 88550859 Fax: +43 (0) 51707-56682 mailto:axel.polleres@siemens.com
