rr:template Yields URI instead of IRI

[tobiasschweizer]

Hi there,

When using rr:template, URIs are produced instead of IRIs: https://data.connectome.ch/author/A%20Bergstr%C3%B6m instead of https://data.connectome.ch/author/A%20Bergström for "A Bergström".

I am using RMLMapper CLI:
java -jar rmlmapper-6.0.0-r363-all.jar -m mapping.ttl -s turtle

Example data test.xml:

<result source="corda" type="relatedResult">


    <availableLanguages readOnly="true">en</availableLanguages>


    <rcn>4321</rcn>


    <id>1243</id>


    <title>Some title</title>


    <details>


        <authors><author>A Bergström</author>
        </authors>


        <journalTitle>Some Journal</journalTitle>


        <journalNumber>31/12</journalNumber>


        <publisher>Some Academic Publishers</publisher>


        <publishedYear>2016</publishedYear>


        <publishedPages>1243-1264</publishedPages>


    </details>


</result>

mapping.ttl:

PREFIX rr: <http://www.w3.org/ns/r2rml#>
PREFIX rml: <http://semweb.mmlab.be/ns/rml#>

<#LogicalSourceArticle> a rml:BaseSource ;
    rml:source "test.xml";
    rml:referenceFormulation ql:XPath ;
    rml:iterator "/result[@type='relatedResult']" .

<#article> a rr:TriplesMap ;
    rml:logicalSource <#LogicalSourceArticle> ;

    rr:subjectMap [
    	rr:template "https://data.connectome.ch/publication/{id}" ;
    	rr:class schema:ScholarlyArticle ;
    ] ;

    rr:predicateObjectMap [
    	rr:predicate schema:name ;
    	rr:objectMap [
    		rml:reference "title" ;
    	];
    ] ;

  	rr:predicateObjectMap [
  		rr:predicate schema:author ;
  		rr:objectMap [
  			rr:template "https://data.connectome.ch/author/{details/authors/author}" ;
  		];
  	] .

Result:

@prefix schema: <http://schema.org/> .

<https://data.connectome.ch/publication/1243> a schema:ScholarlyArticle;
  schema:author <https://data.connectome.ch/author/A%20Bergstr%C3%B6m>;
  schema:name "Some title" .

Please let me know if more information is needed.

I am not sure how to best ensure backward compatibility since IRIs would not match the URIs, e.g., when doing incremental updates of data etc.

As discussed in in the link above, we may need to have rr:URI as well.
The RMLMapper calls an encoding method to encode the parameters as in the R2RML spec.
