Shape for "length in meters" is doubtful

[VladimirAlexiev]

era-sh:length
    a sh:PropertyShape;
    sh:datatype xsd:double ;
    sh:pattern "([1-9]\\d{3}|[1-9]\\d{2}|[1-9]\\d{1}|[0-9])" ;
    sh:message "length (1.2.2.0.2.1): Each Siding must have a length in meters."@en

• this doesn't allow 0 to appear in multi-digit numbers, eg 109 and 100 are not allowed
• it doesn't allow fractional numbers, but xsd:double allows them
• it doesn't allow numbers in exponential notation but xsd:double allows them . Maybe you want xsd:decimal instead?
• the last alternative subsumes the one before it

If you want to limit to 0..999 then use sh:minInclusive. maxExclusive. Don't use sh:pattern

Thanks, We have created a ticket in order to fix this bug.

I am not sure to understand why this pattern rejects 109 and 100. It can be simplified as ([1-9]\d{3}|[1-9]\d{2}|[1-9]\d{1}|[0-9]) -> ([1-9]\d{1,3}|\d) -> \d which is valid if the string contains at least one digit. Is the wanted regex ^([1-9]\d{1,3}|\d)$ whichs allows every integer between 0 and 9999 ?

Looks like the type should be xsd:integer with sh:minExclusive 0

@StephaneBranly You're right, 0 is allowed in the middle. But surely the length of a siding can be a fractional number: so I think it should stay as xsd:double.

There's no need to worry about leading zeros because according to RDF semantics they don't matter. Eg try at https://sparql.org/sparql.html, the two literals are equal:

PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
select ("012"^^xsd:double="12"^^xsd:double) {}

If you need to prevent leading zeros, the best is to use an explicit pattern like this

sh:pattern "^[^0]"
