--------------------------------------

             Summary: SPARQL: EBV of "a"@en should be true but is false
                 Key: JENA-1102
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1102
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ARQ
            Reporter: Richard Cyganiak
            Priority: Minor


{code}
SELECT ("pass" AS ?result) WHERE { FILTER("Hello") }
{code}

{code}
SELECT ("pass" AS ?result) WHERE { FILTER("Hello"@en) }
{code}

The first has a result, the second doesn’t. Tested on sparql.org.

According to what I think is [the relevant bit of the spec|http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#ebv], both should be true because they are plain literals and have non-zero length:

bq. If the argument is a plain literal or a typed literal with a datatype of xsd:string, the EBV is false if the operand value has zero length; otherwise the EBV is true.
