Dear Ruben,
Indeed. In fact triple pattern fragments are the only real formal
specification I have found of this.
I'm wondering however if *form URIs* could themselves be resources
rather than datasets. For example imagine the example from earlier:
<http://bar.com/?subject=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.com%2Falice> a void:Dataset .
<http://foo.com/alice> <#some> <#data> .
Instead of being a void:Dataset, the form URI could simply be a new
URI someone defines with an owl:sameAs relation (or other outbound
relationships) to the alice URI, such as:
<http://bar.com/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.com%2Falice> owl:sameAs
<http://foo.com/alice>;
<#some> <#data> .
I guess the differentiation between the two is a simple semantic
formality. Can I link to triple pattern fragments datasets as if they
were resources? Such as: <http://other.com/alice> rdfs:seeAlso
<http://bar.com/?subject=http%3A%2F%2Ffoo.com%2Falice> . ?
Best,
Luca
