             Summary: Query spec and relative operators for string literals
                 Key: OSLCCORE-111
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OSLCCORE-111
             Project: OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration Core (OSLC Core) TC
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Query
            Reporter: David Honey
            Assignee: James Amsden


https://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/OSLCCoreSpecQuery says for comparison_op:

"Semantics of datatypes and operations on these datatypes MUST work as defined in the SPARQL Query Language (reference: SPARQL). "

The problem is that for string properties, querying for ">", ">=", "<", and "<=" may be unimplementable, or the ordering might be determined by an RDB vendor and different from the SPARQL spec. The spec places too high a burden, and assumes an RDF persistence layer, on implementations. For example, some RDB vendors might use Locale-specific collators.
