Hi, what's the difference between 1. <Description> <dc:creator rdf:ID="XXX"> <Description> <myns:name>karl</mynsname> </Description> </dc:creator> </Description> and 2. <Description> <dc:creator rdf:ID="10" myns:name="karl"/> </Description> The first case is rather clear: M&S,[6.12, propertyElt]: 'The value of the ID Attribute, if specified, is the identifier for the resource that represents the reification of the statement.' Ok, the triples: (genid0,dc:creator,genid1) (genid1,myns:name,'karl') (XXX,rdf:type,rdf:Statement) (XXX,rdf:subject,genid0) (XXX,rdf:predicate,dc:creator) (XXX,rdf:object,genid1) Let's take a look at the second example. The spec says: 'Properties and values expressed in XML attribute form within an empty XML element E by productions [6.10] and [6.12] are equivalent to the same properties and values expressed as XML content of a single Description element D which would become the content of E. The referent of D is the value of the property identified by the XML element name of E according to productions [6.17], [6.2], and [6.3]. Specifically; each propertyElt start tag containing attribute specifications other than ID, resource, bagID, xml:lang, or any attribute starting with the characters xmlns results in the creation of the triples {p,r1,r2}, {pa1,r2,va1} , ..., {pan,r2,van} where 1.p is the expansion of the namespace-qualified tag name. 2.r1 is the resource being referred to by the element containing this propertyElt expression. 3.r2 is the resource named by the resource attribute if present or a new resource. If the ID attribute is given ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it is the identifier of this new resource. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 4.pa1 ... pan are the expansion of the namespace-qualified attribute names. 5.va1 ... van are the corresponding attribute values.' Thus the triples are: (genid0,dc:creator,XXX) (XXX,myns:name,'karl') The interpretation of the attribute 'rdf:ID="XXX"' is totally different in the second example!!!! Is this correct? If it is, is there any parser available that does the right job? Greetings, StefanReceived on Wednesday, 30 August 2000 11:15:49 GMT
