Tim, Looking at http://www.w3.org/2006/link#obsoletes I notice that no domain and range are specified, nor are there any examples of use. So if a URI http://example/new-term obsoletes a URI http://example/old-term , and we have (in n3): @prefix : <http://www.w3.org/2006/link#obsoletes> . # Statement 1: <http://example/new-term> :obsoletes <http://example/old-term> . # Statement 2: "http://example/new-term"^^xsd:anyURI :obsoletes "http://example/old-term"^^xsd:anyURI . Which of statement #1 or statement #2 would best illustrate the intended usage of :obsoletes? In my view (according to my understanding of the RDF semantics), statement #2 would be correct. Statement #1 would be incorrect (or at least not what that author probably intended) because it is making a statement about the resource *denoted* by the URI http://example/new-term -- not a statement about the URI itself.
