I could add something about treat it as a textual concatenation; have you thought about how to spec this? Turtle [1] address this by reference to a section of SPARQL [2], It may be clearer to directly restate the text in Turtle. Not sure. SPARQL addresses prefixes it with the following text: "A prefixed name is mapped to an IRI by concatenating the IRI associated with the prefix and the local part." --Gavin [1] http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-turtle/index.html#sec-syntax [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#QSynIRI
