Description
Issue: When attempting to request a JSON-LD serialisation (via "Accept:application/ld+json" header) of a turtle document which includes one or more blank nodes, a 500 error is generated. An equivalent document where the blank node is replaced with a URI-identified node returns JSON-LD just fine.
Solid Version: Running on Solid 5.2.4 (current version on https://solid.community)
Expected outcome: Valid JSON-LD should be returned whether or not blank nodes are included (serialising any blank nodes as JSON objects without "@id", according to the JSON-LD spec).
Steps to reproduce
# 1: document without bnode, requested as turtle
$ http get https://musicog.solid.community/public/without_bnode.ttl
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/turtle
# ...
<http://example.com/testSubject1> <http://example.com/testPredicate><http://example.com/testSubject2> .
<http://example.com/testSubject2> <http://example.com/testPredicate2> "Example" .
# 2: document without bnode, requested as JSON-LD
$ http get https://musicog.solid.community/public/without_bnode.ttl Accept:application/ld+json
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/ld+json; charset=utf-8
# ...
[
{
"@id": "http://example.com/testSubject1",
"http://example.com/testPredicate": [
{
"@id": "http://example.com/testSubject2"
}
]
},
{
"@id": "http://example.com/testSubject2",
"http://example.com/testPredicate2": [
{
"@value": "Example"
}
]
}
]
# 3: document with bnode, requested as turtle
$ http get https://musicog.solid.community/public/with-bnode.ttl
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/turtle
# ...
<http://example.com/testSubject> <http://example.com/testPredicate> [ <http://example.com/testPredicate2> "Example" ] .
# 4: document with bnode, requested as JSON-LD -> 500 error!
$ http get https://musicog.solid.community/public/with-bnode.ttl Accept:application/ld+json
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Research direction
Reproduce the two requests against with-bnode.ttl and without_bnode.ttl, using Accept:application/ld+json, and compare the responses. Trace the server's RDF-to-JSON-LD translation path from the failing request. Done means the blank-node document returns valid JSON-LD with blank nodes represented as objects without @id, rather than a 500 response.
