So, Mark, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we have the ability to name bnodes using the CURIE notation, e.g. resource="[_:author1]" and the like. That hasn't changed, as far as I know. The question on the table was whether we could use "_:" as an explicit request to generate a new unnamed bnode. Ivan, did I misunderstand? -Ben Knud Hinnerk Möller wrote: > Ok, here is my use case, if I remember correctly: > > - I generate RDFa (using the SWRC ontology) from BibTeX > - a paper has multiple authors > - there are many ways to represent that in RDF > - SWRC just uses multiple (book swrc:author aFOAFPerson) statements for that > - however, that doesn't keep the order of the authors > - that's why I _also_ use one (book swrc_ext:authorList > sequenceOfAuthors) statement > - I do both because I want to stay compatible to the original SWRC, but > also give the possibility of getting the author order > - of course the foaf:Person resources in both approaches should be the same > - I don't have URIs for the authors, so I need to use bnodes (or make up > URIs, which I don't want to do) > - because I want to refer to the same resource through both swrc:author > and swrc_ext:authorList, I need to be able to name the bnodes within > that graph > - i.e., I need named bnodes > > I hope that makes sense. :) > > Cheers, > Knud > >
