Re: Parsing Microdata into RDF Graphs: URI Comparison

Hi all:

I have no strong opinion on either side; I just wanted to highlight that there is an issue, which can be fixed at either one of the two ends, either by fixing the Microdata spec or by catering for it in the MD2RDF conversion.

In general, I have a slight preference to treat URLs for itemprop and href as mere identifiers and not resource locators and thus do only minimal canonicalization, e.g. attaching the base URI to relative identifiers.
