This should have a capital S by the way. Ah yeah, the link label text is wrong. Thanks for the catch > I applaud the addition of a language tag in the langString production, > which in my opinion greatly increases the expressiveness of N-Triples. I considered it crucial. RDF M&S hinted at this but we are now making it clearer where language appears in the RDF graph - part of the literal. We do need to improve this and will be making further clarifications of the RDF graph. > However, I do not quite understand what xmlString is supposed to be for. > Is this for parseType=Literal cases? Please add some explanations for > these new literal variants. Yes, that is exactly what it is for - XML literal content, generated by that form. See the tests for rdfms-xmllang and rdfms-literal-is-xml-structure for the examples of where it is used. See them below: http://www.w3.org/2000/10/rdf-tests/rdfcore/ This stuff is/will be folded into the RDF primer and syntax docs in due course. See http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#parseTypeLiteralPropertyElt and follow the threads. You can track where I've got to in the draft syntax wd at http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/ Dave
