I am glad we are using IRIs - I just don't think that means exclusive to common practice. I did a completely ad hoc experiment: I used Google to search for some terms. Results: RDF IRI => 50,300 hits RDF URI => 2,040,000 hits RDF URI IRI => 23,000 hits For RDF IRI, www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ is the #2 hit after rdf-concepts Andy PS Yes - I'm biased - I have released code using "isURI" but there is also http://www.dajobe.org/2005/04-sparql/ (http://www.dajobe.org/2005/04-sparql/SPARQLreference-1.7.pdf)
