I've just been looking at the specifications of URI references in an RDF graph, and it seems that the only part of the Concepts document that says that relative forms are not allowed is merely informative: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/TR/WD-rdf-concepts-20030117/#section-URI-Vocabulary [[ ... noting that relative URIs are not used in an RDF graph. ]] I think this should be stated in the normative section on URI references: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/TR/WD-rdf-concepts-20030117/#section-Graph-URIref For example, the first paragraph might read: [[ A URI reference within an RDF graph (an RDF URI reference) is a Unicode string [UNICODE] that would produce a valid URI character sequence (per RFC2396 [URI], sections 2.1) representing an absolute URI with optional fragment identifier when subjected to the encoding described below. ]] #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5EReceived on Friday, 25 July 2003 16:40:19 EDT
