Some notes on CURIEs: * Loss of information: CURIEs can be problematic in the mapping to RDF, as RDF requires QNames. This means that the mapping should expand the CURIE prefix when translating to RDF. * The underscore is a special character in CURIEs because of BNodes in RDF: this is a good thing * CURIEs allow the use of brackets in possibly ambiguous cases (but the spec does not say which cases are ambiguous). This use of brackets can conflict with the FSS as we use brackets to denote zero or one instances of a symbol. -Rinke On 24 okt 2007, at 23:09, Web Ontology Language (OWL) Working Group Issue Tracker wrote: > > > ISSUE-14 (CURIES): REPORTED: Proposal to base abbreviated URIs on > CURIES not QNAMES > > http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/tracker/issues/ > > Raised by: Alan Ruttenberg > On product: > > Reported by alanruttenberg, May 27, 2007 > > Also, can we amend the spec to use curies[1] instead of qnames in > the functional syntax, or simply > some sensible abbreviation mechanism?
