I've been trying to serialize the models from my database and found
something I don't understand in the M&S spec.
M&S spec, section 2.2.1, serialization syntax, production [9] reads:
resourceAttr ::= 'resource="' URI-reference '"'
Does the resource attribute need to be qualified as being in the RDF
namespace? i.e. should it read:
resourceAttr ::= 'rdf:resource="' URI-reference '"'
For the purposes of this question, lets assume that rdf is not the default
namespace.
The web RDF tester gives 3 isolated graphs when I feed it the rdf below.
If 'resource' on the 3rd last line is replaced by 'rdf:resource' it produces
a single graph - I think the correct output.
The web tester seems to be taking the default namespace within a tag to be
the namespace of the entity name of the tag.
