ISSUE-77: Shall sh:pattern also support sh:flags?

sh:pattern flags

Shall sh:pattern also support sh:flags?

State:

CLOSED

Product:

SHACL Spec

Raised by:

Holger Knublauch

Opened on:

2015-07-24

Description:

sh:pattern can be implemented in SPARQL using REGEX, which also supports an optional flag argument as in

FILTER regex("Alice", "^ali", "i")

which will be executed with "ignore case" flag set.

Should this flag option also be added to SHACL? I am not sure if this is consistently supported by all potential execution platforms, yet doing things like ignore case is a common requirement in practice.
