SPARQL Protocol open issues & TODOs

Protocol HTTP Only

Consensus at 2011-01-11 teleconference that the protocol should be HTTP only and not bebased on WSDL.

JSON-P

Relationship to CORS?


What do you send for a SPARQL update request?

PROPOSED: SPARQL Update requests can be POSTed as either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or application/sparql-update, pending discovery of how to do the latter in WSDL 2


Response content

See http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/track/issues/60

Agreement that there's no mandataed response value. Suggest text:

If an update request is successful, a 2xx or 303 HTTP status code must be returned?

Stay silent and include examples.


Faults

See http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/track/issues/33 .

Content (and content type) of error messages

...implementations SHOULD return a text/plain response with human-readable information about the error.

Include HTTP Patch?

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/track/issues/56

Recommend not including anything about HTTP Patch at this time.

MIME type?

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/track/issues/58

RDF Datasets and protocol for update

PROPOSED: SPARQL Update protocol requests can include default-graph-uri and named-graph-uri parameters that define an RDF dataset for all operations within the update request that make use of an RDF dataset (i.e. have a WHERE { ... } part. The RDF dataset specified in the protocol replaces any RDF dataset that appears in the operations in the update request string.

Examples of SPARQL Update requests

Service description

Protocol document should mention that doing a GET on an endpoint gives you the service description.
