Actually, that's not the correct result. That happens because some triples have been entered into the "default default" graph. If the default graph URI is set to http://msone.computas.no/graphs/ which is a graph that contains the graph names, it returns "# Empty TURTLE". BTW, I have written a simple test framework with Perl (Test::More and RDF::Redland), which tests if one gets the expected result from a query: https://submarine.computas.com/mediasone-maven/trunk/backend/src/test/perl/testqueries.pl To use this, you just put a query into a filename.rq and the expected result into filename.ttl ("filename" must be the same) and the you run the script on the directory where the files are. So, I'm not just testing with a browser :-) Kind regards Kjetil Kjernsmo -- Senior Knowledge Engineer Mobile: +47 986 48 234 Email: kjetil.kjern...@computas.com Web: http://www.computas.com/ | SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE | Computas AS PO Box 482, N-1327 Lysaker | Phone:+47 6783 1000 | Fax:+47 6783 1001
