Hi Mark, thanks for the quick answer. Instinctively I would drop this feature from the ODF set, as I currently do not see the use case (that's why I am here) and keeping it means more effort in implementing. We have a subset anyway, as some features as Chaining does not work as ODF applications are not necessarily DOM applications. Could you give me a few examples, where the subject and the object literal are the same, but not the predicate? Always willing to learn ;-) Svante Mark Birbeck wrote: > Hi Svante, > > Good to see this is progressing. :) > > But I have to ask, why do you think this feature is *not* useful? > > And more to the point, even if you don't like it, why would you go to > the effort of *removing* it, given that it is a feature that is > already provided? > > Is there some reason that ODF cannot support multiple values in @property? > > Regards, > > Mark > > On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 10:59 AM, Svante Schubert > <Svante.Schubert@sun.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I was wondering about the possibility of @property having multiple CURIEs >> >> As when I look into the RDFa spec >> http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-syntax/#rdfa-attributes. >> >> It seems possible that there are statements using the same RDF subject and >> RDF object (literal text), but allowing multiple predicates, which does not >> seem useful on the first glance to me. >> >> @about >> a URIorSafeCURIE, used for stating what the data is about (a 'subject' in >> RDF terminology); >> @property >> a whitespace separated list of CURIEs, used for expressing relationships >> between a subject and some literal text (also a 'predicate'); >> >> As the OpenDocument 1.2 specification is reusing a subset of RDFa, I am >> thinking about a limitation in regard of xhtml:property using only one >> CURIE. >> >> Hope you have a great week, >> Svante >> >> >> >> > > > > -- Sun Microsystems GmbH Svante Schubert Nagelsweg 55 Software Engineer 20097 Hamburg StarOffice / OpenOffice.org Development Germany Phone: +49(0)40 236 46 500 http://www.sun.com Svante.Schubert@sun.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Sun Microsystems GmbH, Sonnenallee 1, D-85551 Kirchheim-Heimstetten Amtsgericht Muenchen: HRB 161028 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Wolfgang Engels, Dr. Roland Boemer Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Martin Haering
