AW: (non-)shrinking semantics of aggregates

Thanks Jean-Paul. Yes, I remember the discussion in the group.

Just wondering, where the term ((non-)shrinking) comes from actually. Can't find a proper source.

Best,
Peter

Betreff: RE: (non-)shrinking semantics of aggregates

Hi,

I think others can answer this question better, but I think we discussed this at some point, here:
https://www.w3.org/community/rsp/wiki/Aggregate_Clause

CSPARQL used to support a different type of aggregate than the one supported by SPARQL1.1.

Subject: (non-)shrinking semantics of aggregates
Hi all,

I hope someone of you can help in answering my question: In [1] (e.g. page 8 and 11) I read about "shrinking" and "non-shrinking semantics" of aggregates with a reference to the paper at [2]. However, in [2] the word "shrinking" does not appear a single time.

So I wonder, if the reference is a mistake, or maybe I'm just blind and can't find the explanation in [2]. After all, I just would like to know where to find a proper definition of shrinking and non-shrinking semantics.

Thanks!
