[oslc-core] Enhancing OSLC Query filtering

[Arthur Ryman]

Dragos,

oslc.searchTerms is not a complete replacement for oslc.where with "like" 
or "contains". It was intended to work with paging so that you could just 
look at the first page of results and get the best matches. You wouldn't 
have to get the complete set of resources. For example, to get the top 10 
matches, specify oslc.pageSize=10, get the first page and ignore the rest.

Thanks Arthur. I've seen the oslcTerms but I don't think  it can behave as 
a replacement of oslc.where with additional predicates. There are 2 
reasons that make me say this: 
- it seems it's possible for results that do not match the search terms to 
be returned ( with oslc.score = 0) meaning that a larger set of data than 
needed will be returned. Is my interpretation correct? 
- the searchTerms performs sorting on the result set and it is defined to 
override the oslc.sort parameter which might be not desirable in all 
cases.

Dragos,

There is a full text search mechanism. oslc.searchTerms [1]

The query syntax was intended to be simple and relatively easy to 
implement. For complex queries, we should use a standard query language, 
e.g. SPARQL. So rather than enhance the simple query syntax, we should be 
promoting query based on SPARQL, e.g. from an index.

Hey all, 

the  oslc.where parameter of OSLC queries allow filtering data using basic 

operators. In some cases this is not sufficient as expressing conditions 
using basic operators is either not possible or very cumbersome. Can the 
OSLC Query be enhanced with some common used predicates such as "like", 
"contains" etc? An example is searching for all the resources that contain 

a specific word in their dc:title property.

    Dragos
