>> I think Andy was saying that that the RDF triples - containing absolute URIs - are the data. > But that simply isn't accurate. I can only re-iterate:- <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/#section-Graph-URIref>. This discusses the underlying RDF model where, "RDF URI references are ... constrained to be an absolute rather than a relative URI reference." >> Part of the issue is that relative URIs are not permitted in an RDF model, so any relative URIs need to be fixed (made absolute) at the time the representation (Turtle) is parsed. > I don't know how you arrived at the conclusion that relative URIs are not permitted in an RDF model. Again, I've written a whole series of DIY Linked Data Deployment notes based on Turtle documents that leverage relative URIs. It just works. Yes - you're correct when we're in the talking about many RDF serializations including Turtle; <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/#section-Graph-URIref> also states that, "concrete syntaxes, such as RDF/XML, may permit relative URIs as a shorthand for such absolute URI references."
