Re: Regarding 6. Fragment Identifiers in http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-rdf11-concepts-20130723/#section-fragID (tracker, this is on ISSUE-141)

Sebastian,

this is not a direct answer to your questions, rather a slightly administrative one. The admin issue is indeed that the RDF 1.1 Concepts document is currently in Last Call, and we hope to go to CR very soon. This requires all open issues to be closed. Your question also ended on our issue list as if it was a request for change on the RDF 1.1 Concept Last Call Draft. Is our interpretation correct that you do not request any change on the RDFa 1.1 document and your mail was asking more general question to the RDF WG members? It would be important to have that on record.

B.t.w., reading through your questions I have the impression that these are general questions on the meaning of fragment ID-s and URI-s, and I am afraid these issues are more in the realm of the TAG than in the RDF Working Group. RDF regards URI-s, and therefore fragment ID-s, as essentially opaque identifiers (note that the relevant section in the draft[1] is actually non-normative!).

Sincerely

Ivan Herman
(In the name of the RDF WG)

The anchor element, the text in the element or the whole tree, i.e. the current element, the text and all subelements , ok it's not very deep here, but you know what I mean. There is a difference, between a single node in a tree, the attributes of this node, the content of this node and the subtree with the node at its head.

The IRI <#chapter1> should then be taken to denote that same section in any RDFa-encoded triples within the same document. Similarly, if the @xml:id attribute [XML-ID] is used in an RDF/XML document, then the corresponding IRI should be taken to denote an XML element.

Looking at http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-reference/skos.rdf#Collection . Is this now something in line 53 <rdf:Description rdf:about="#Collection"> or "A collection of concepts"
