RDF-ISSUE-44 (rdfms-qnames-can't-represent-all-uris): Revisit "The RDF XML syntax cannot represent all possible Property URI's" [Cleanup tasks] http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/track/issues/44 Raised by: David Wood On product: Cleanup tasks See http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qnames-cant-represent-all-uris rdfms-qnames-can't represent-all-uris: The RDF XML syntax cannot represent all possible Property URI's. CONTINUE: Noted, RDF/XML does not allow all possible property URIs to be represented. This issue remains open, while the WG explores the impact of IRIs on RDF; however RDF/XML is unlikely to change beyond the basic minimum needed. Other formats (Turtle, n-triples) are available as alternatives to RDF/XML where difficult property names are unavoidable. Vocabulary authors have an incentive to choose RDF property URIs that will work with all syntaxes, including classic RDF/XML." Richard proposes to CLOSE instead: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-wg/2011Apr/0345.html "This is a long-known problem in RDF/XML, users have learned to live with it, there is no easy fix, and updating from URIrefs to IRIs is unlikely to change anything here." Several people supported closing this issue.
