Syntax error in Turtle file #177

Closed wouterbeek closed 1 year ago

Observed

The file ttl/Examples/exRSCFullAudioDiscPerformedMusic.ttl cannot be uploaded to standards-conforming triple stores since it contains characters that are not allowed in the Turtle format. For example, uploading this file to TriplyDB.com emits the following error:

Error in file rda.ttl.zip > ttl/Examples/exRSCFullAudioDiscPerformedMusic.ttl:
Expected entity but got ; on line 47.

Notice that TriplyDB is correct here; the dot on the following first line must be a semi-colon:

ex:W1
  rdaw:P10002 "Amos, Tori. Little earthquakes (Album)" .
  rdaw:P10053 ex:A1 ;

Expected

RDA files to follow the Turtle W3C standard.

Wider context

RDA seems to have syntax issues with all of its format variants, see #175 and #176. This seems to be a structural problem.

There are modern tools out there that can generate standard-conforming RDF. TriplyDB.com offers a free service for the first 1M triples. Please make use of modern tools that guarantee syntactic correctness.

Other remarks

For the record: Little Earthquakes is a great album.
