DISTINCT()

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/meeting/2012-03-13#line0075
 
--------------------

Birte Glimm: Do we really want to do this counting / non-counting operator distinction *and* to do DISTINCT 
... in 2 section on operators and DISTINCT it is not clear if these are alternatives to each other or complementary 

Andy Seaborne: * and + counting/non-counting versions (agreement on this)
... if we go with DISTINCT, we wouldn't need these operators. Useful to distinguish between applicable algorithms to use and syntax clarification 

Birte Glimm: going for both?

Andy Seaborne: yes, so far

--------------------

Just my two cents to emphasize that I tend to agree on that: I believe we need DISTINCT() to address JC-4 and related comments in a fashion agreeable to the commenters.


Small typo comment on the current editor's draft version, just as I stumbled over it:

s/
There are counting ({*}, {+}) and non-counting ({*}, {+}) forms of
operators for arbitrary length paths. 
/
