This is a comment I made earlier in a TAG context but thought I would repeat here. It seems silly to distinguish curies from URIs in a way which makes the short form longer. Why not make the short curie the default, and allow a longer syntax for the case in which someone wants to put a full URI? Thus not <a zref="[book:ch1]"> <a zref="http://books.example.com/20078-3-789/book#ch1"> but <a zref="book:ch1"> <a zref="<http://books.example.com/20078-3-789/book#ch1>"> or <a zref="[http://books.example.com/20078-3-789/book#ch1]"> This not only minimizes the number of characters in abbreviated case rather than the longhand case, it also uses a convention common elsewhere in N3 and SPARQL. Clearly a superior solution, better for the documents and better for learning. TimReceived on Monday, 14 April 2008 18:32:10 GMT
