This could be achieved in various ways, for example by baking the equivalence of these terms into the basic RDF 2.0 semantics. If we *want* to have shorter IRIs for basic RDF/RDFS/OWL terms, then surely we can find some way to make it work, no? And surely, laying some initial non-normative groundwork *now* will help a lot to prepare for a normative introduction of these IRIs in a future round of RDF/SPARQL standardization a few years down the road. > (But I'll go along with it if SELECT (SUM(?salary) AS ?checkAmount) { ?who foaf:given_name "eric" ; mit:salary ?salary } doubles my salary.) (If you want a change in RDF that potentially doubles your salary, then anything that helps to align RDF with HTML and microdata is not a bad idea.)
