HI Ben/Shane, > There's at least one notable use case: pointing to a "named" bnode. > > <div about="[_:a]"> > ... > </div> > > > ... > > <a rel="foo:bar" resource="[_:a]">...</a> Yes, I think that's the only example where you absolutely *must* have this feature. But I think when you start referring to resources that are properties and classes (as in OWL and RDFS) or that are terms (as in SKOS) it becomes much more natural to represent the resources using CURIEs where the base (prefix) is fixed. For example, RDFa allows you to very easily create a human and machine readable classification vocabulary, using SKOS (this example is based on one of the SKOS primer examples): <ul> <li about="[ex:milk]" instanceof="skos:concept" property="skos:prefLabel" content="milk" > milk <em>milk by source animal</em> <ul rev="skos:broader"> <li about="[ex:cowMilk]" instanceof="skos:concept" property="skos:prefLabel">cow milk</li> <li about="[ex:goatMilk]" instanceof="skos:concept" property="skos:prefLabel">goat milk</li> <li about="[ex:buffaloMilk]" instanceof="skos:concept" property="skos:prefLabel">buffalo milk</li> </ul> </li> </ul> More examples to follow in a blog post I'm writing.
