I wonder whether there is anything that the RDF WG has to say about it in a cleaned-up version of the specs... It appears that Henry is trying to do lexical comparison without comparing the Canonical Representation. I don't think Turtle, RDF/XML, or any RDF machinery is really involved here. It seems to be a pure datatype question. A value space comparison will produce the correct results every time. If the Canonical Representation was used in Turtle then the two lexical values would be identical as well. --Gavin > > Ivan > > [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2012Jan/0082.html > > ---- > Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead > Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ > mobile: +31-641044153 > FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdf > > > > >
