Parsing N3 with a @base IRI which does not include a slash #1216

anatoly-scherbakov · 2020-12-19T07:40:32Z

The issue is illustrated by this gist:

https://gist.github.com/anatoly-scherbakov/9fafb2863b877991f56ac7766b7c1bf0

I use @base <local:> . in an RDF/N3 document, which should convert an RDF term <Category> to <local:Category>.
But instead I get an error raised.
If I try <local:/> instead as a @base — everything works.

But I was trying to get <local:> working, and also, I believe, <local:Category> is a perfectly good IRI. Real world examples of such schemas may be doi and mailto.

This might be related to #816 but I am not certain of that.

rdflib version is 5.0.0. The exception is raised here:

https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib/blob/master/rdflib/plugins/parsers/notation3.py#L139-L144

I would be happy to create a PR removing this check, but I would like first to understand why the check is implemented.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

nicholascar · 2020-12-30T09:02:48Z

@anatoly-scherbakov I'm not sure whey the check is performed - it might be a misunderstanding about what valid IRIs are - and there's probably no way to find out since whoever added that check is likely not still actively involved in RDFlib.

Please go ahead and submit a PR!

The raising of an error rather than the Exception is due to the change introduced in @rchateauneu's 28th Feb Speedup commit. Prior to that, the code had remained unchanged since eikeon committed it 12 years ago;

-    if here[bcolonl + 1 : bcolonl + 2] != "/":
+    if here[bcolonl + 1] != "/":

Reverting the change avoids the error and causes the intended Exception to be raised: ValueError: Base <local:> has no slash after colon - with relative 'class_to_class'. (I must admit I'm mystified why the change causes the error)

The check is preceded by the comment: # join('mid:foo@example', '../foo') bzzt --- the check and the Exception are explicitly tested in the doctests which militates against removing it. Worth noting that the join docstring includes the caveat “haven't checked the details of the IRI spec though”.

Well done !
"Mystified why the change caused the error"
I am too...

ghost · 2021-12-27T12:14:53Z

Python slicing subtlety, TIL that this doesn't raise an Exception:

def test_baz0():
    here = "local:"
    blocal = len(here)
    x =  here[blocal + 20000 : blocal + 300000]
    assert x == ""

I'm actually not entirely clear if this issue is fixed or not, the PR only changed the exception, the actual example from @anatoly-scherbakov still fails though and I'm not sure if it should or should not.

Example file:

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

From RDF 1.1 Turtle / 6.3 IRI References and IETF RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax / 5.2. Relative Resolution I'm pretty sure it should be valid, at least if it is only a scheme, which basically it is in the example @anatoly-scherbakov gave.

I'm re-opening this, I may of course be wrong, and this should be invalid, if that is the case please do share some details as to why.

aucampia · 2022-01-08T23:11:50Z

the rfc3986 python package seems to agree that it is invalid (strict=False has same behaviour):

$ pipx run --spec rfc3986==1.5.0 python -c 'from rfc3986 import uri_reference; print(uri_reference("john.smith").resolve_with("example:", strict=True))'

aucampia · 2022-01-09T09:41:10Z

I made an issue against the rfc3096 python package now, and also gave an explanation there of why resolving a relative reference like john.smith against a base like example: should yield example:/john.smith:

Resolving a relative URI Reference against a base with only an authority does not work python-hyper/rfc3986#81

This is likely not the highest priority though, as this is probably best avoided and there are few cases I can see where doing it will be needed.

aucampia · 2022-01-09T17:30:14Z

Okay the issue in https://pypi.org/project/rfc3986/ is fixed, and now they handle it the same as RDF4J, which is the correct way IMO.

This includes xfails for the following issues: - RDFLib#1216 - RDFLib#1655 - RDFLib#1649 Also: - Add graph variant test scaffolding. Multiple files representing the same graph can now easily be tested to be isomorphic by just adding them in `test/variants`. - Add more things to `testutils.GraphHelper`, including some methods that does asserts with better messages. Also include some tests for GraphHelper. - Add some extra files to test_roundtrip, set the default identifier when parsing, and change verbose flag to rather be based on debug logging. - move one test from `test/test_issue247.py` to variants.

SvenPVoigt · 2022-11-23T23:36:59Z

I am using RDFLib 6.2.0 and this is still an issue for me. For clarity, it is my understanding that IRIs specify a scheme for converting unicode to ascii to "internationalize" the URI scheme for non-ASCII characters. The URI syntax (RFC 3986) is really straightforward if you just specify non-reserved ASCII characters after the scheme, but has a complex hierarchy system, where reserved ASCII characters are specified on page 12 and used as specific delimiters: e.g., // specifies an authority, / ? # separate hierarchical parts, and % is used to encode octets. There are several examples in RFC 3986 (on page 6) that do not use /. For example, mailto:, news:, and urn:.

I am trying to use URIs for books as follows: urn:isbn:9791280035356

These are unique and require no /

I am also getting this error: ValueError: Base <urn:foo:> has no slash after colon - with relative 'bar' in RDFLib 6.2.0. Wikipedia collates the syntax rules from RFC 3986. <urn:foo:bar> should be a valid identifier.
