             Summary: Semantics of ">", ">=", "<", <=" with URI values
                 Key: OSLCCORE-153
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OSLCCORE-153
             Project: OASIS OSLC Lifecycle Integration Core (OSLC Core) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Query
            Reporter: David Honey
            Assignee: James Amsden


The query syntax for oslc.where supports a query term that uses ">", ">=", "<", or "<=" with a URI value. However, the semantics are undefined.

For example, what does the following mean, if anything?

    oslc.where=dcterms:creator > <http://example.com/user/David>

The only use case I can think of where this might add value is where the value is a URI of an enumeration member. If an enumeration has members defined with rdf:value denoting ordering, then a query such as:

    oslc.where=cm:severity > cm:Medium

might be useful. However, the spec does not define how enumeration members might be compared.
