Turtle parsing problem

Support

Stardog 7.3.0

There seems to be a problem parsing turtle. It won't parse with and @ style prefix in all caps but it loads fine if it's lowercase

@PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .

doesn't load but

@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .

loads fine.

The newer style

prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>

and

PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>

Seem to be fine as well.

This is due to compliance with the Turtle spec where old-style prefix declarations are case-sensitive but new-style prefix definitions are case-insensitive as explained in this section:

  1. SPARQL uses case insensitive keywords, except for ' a '. Turtle's @prefix and @base declarations are case sensitive, the SPARQL derived PREFIX and BASE are case insensitive.

There is an option in the Stark API to make Turtle-style prefix declarations case-insensitive too but this option cannot be changed at the database level.

Best,
Evren
