ISSUE-47 (case-sensitivity for terms): How should case-sensitivity be handled for terms specified via RDFa Profile documents? [RDFa 1.1 Core] http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/47 Raised by: Manu Sporny On product: RDFa 1.1 Core >From Gregg Kellogg: The question regards case-insentive matching of terms to local term mappings. I understand that this is necessary for XHTML Vocabulary items, so that rel="next" is the same as rel ="NEXT", but this also has the consequence of not allowing the creation of terms from other vocabularies, where case sensitivity is essential. For example, I might want to create the following terms: [ rdfa:term "agent"; rdfa:uri "http://purl.org/NET/c4dm/event.owl#agent" ] . [ rdfa:term "Agent"; rdfa:uri "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent" ] . As case-sensitivity of URIs, at least, is important in RDF, you could consider that case-sensitifity of terms would also be important, to allow use cases such as I just described. Certainly, I could get around this by changing the term name, but it makes it easy for someone to accidentally include two different terms that differ only in their case.
