All, Following the "first public draft" announcement about the RDF 1.1 primer [1], I decided to quickly take a look at the current state of content with regards to the items above. Here's what I see, at the current time: [[ The abbreviation IRI is short for "International Resource Identifier". An IRI identifies a Web resource. The notion of IRI is a generalization of URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), allowing non-ASCII characters to be used in the IRI character string. IRIs are specified in RFC 3987 [RFC3987]. ]] Then I wandered across to RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract [2] Syntax to find the following, at the current time: [[ 1.2 Resources and Statements Any IRI or literal denotes something in the world (the "universe of discourse"). These things are called resources. Anything can be a resource, including physical things, documents, abstract concepts, numbers and strings; the term is synonymous with "entity" as it is used in the RDF Semantics specification [RDF11-MT]. The resource denoted by an IRI is called its referent, and the resource denoted by a literal is called its literal value. Literals have datatypes that define the range of possible values, such as strings, numbers, and dates. A special kind of literals, language-tagged strings, denote plain-text strings in a natural language. ]] I assume this issue is going to be addressed in some form, quickly?
