Unfortunately no one commented that. For all IRIs? I don't see the point in that. It makes things more complicated without adding value. > We seem to get stuck here. Any suggestions how we could move forward? (this > is a question for everyone) Let me try to help by rephrasing the problem. a) We need to distinguish between IRIs and literals. i.e., the text “http://www.hydra-cg.com/” is different from the IRI http://www.hydra-cg.com/. b) For literals, we should be able to add a type or a language. Nothing more is necessary; delimiting and escaping already happens. This contrasts with Turtle, where delimiting of multiple fields is needed, and where IRIs also need to be distinguished from prefixed names. The syntax we currently have is: - surround literals in double quotes - signify data types with @ and types with ^^ This seems to be a minimal solution, with the added benefit that the '@' and '^^' symbols look familiar. There is, however, no other resemblance with N-Triples / Turtle. Do we agree or disagree on this syntax? (Perhaps it's best to talk about names after this.) Best, Ruben
