2007-08-16T18:17:38.0007Z alecf http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/alecf <p>I do think this is working as designed - at the very least your "implicit" (i.e. unqualified) properties should be prefixed with the same prefix as a type. I'm not sure the value it would have to recognize "you only provided one 'type' clause, so I'll automatically assume that it's the implied type for the rest of the clause" - if your have code that is generating this query dyamically, then I'd hope that you could write it such that the unqualified property names also include the prefix<br /> <br /> I don't know if this works, but you could try:<br /> {<br /> "query":[{<br /> "/government/us_politician/political_party":null,<br /> "a:type":"/government/us_president",<br /> "name":null,<br /> "a:presidency_number":null,<br /> ...<br /> }<br /> <br /> See the symmetry in the "a:" prefix?<br /> <br /> If this doesn't work, then THAT'S the real bug here.</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000005a86c18

2007-08-15T21:33:19.0007Z vtalwar http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/vtalwar <p>Thanks Chris and Sarah.<br /> <br /> That does makes sense, but when it's the only type specified, there should be no reason to complain. You could say why prefix the property at all in that case, but it might be something developers want to do to all their properties for some app-specific reason. I guess it's not a terribly big deal still because you can just fully qualify all properties and be safe. I'm personally ok either way, though, and I'm satisfied not thinking of it as a bug, but a way of maintaining sanity.</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000005a85f16

2007-08-15T20:36:41.0007Z crism http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/crism <p>I don’t think it’s a bug. Consider if you have both <kbd>"a:type"</kbd> and <kbd>"b:type"</kbd> in your query; relative to which is MQL supposed to interpret naked property keys? If you want to use implicit types for properties, you need to pick one type and use it as <kbd>"type"</kbd>. This has bit me a couple of times, so maybe better error reporting would be helpful, but I think the behavior is correct.</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000005a7da37
