As we (re)discovered in the teleconference, the WG discussed a relevant issue, bnodeRef, at some length... http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/issues#bnodeRef and decided, 2005-07-12, to postpone it. In all the discussion of it that I have seen recently, the designs go out of scope (by introducing yet another sort of term beyond literals, URIs, bnodes, and ?variables at the abstract syntax level) without a clear requirement nor a compelling use case. The "Publishing on the Web" use case does not have a critical mass of support. We'll need new information in order to re-open bnodeRef and consider designs. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
