Hi all,
RDF specifications talk a lot about IRIs. Sometimes, the distinction is
made between absolute IRIs and relative IRIs. I discovered some time ago
that this is inaccurate.
According RFC3987 [1], IRIs can not be relative, only *IRI references*
can. Therefore, "absolute IRI" is redundant (but correct), while
"relative IRI" should be "relative IRI reference".
Note that, from what I saw, this impacts the following documents:
RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax
RDF 1.1 Turtle
RDF 1.1 TriG – RDF Dataset Language
RDF 1.1 XML Syntax
the others make use of "IRI", "absolute" and "relative" in a way that's
consistent with RFC3987.
