RE: Mulgara and sameTerm

Hi Andy and all,

I thought I understood this, but after reading a comment in the open
world tests I am not so sure. So I am posting my question here.

In SPARQL can the pattern "{ ?x :p "001"^^xsd:integer }" match the
literal "1"^^xsd:integer in an RDF store?

Can two literals match in a triple pattern, but return false in a
sameTerm test?

The comment in the file below indicates that an RDF store can either do
value matching or lexical matching. Is it correct?

Thanks,
James

# Does not strictly match "1"^xsd:integer
