If there are no objections to this proposal by this Thursday, October 21st at 13:00 UTC, we will close ISSUE-37: Clarifying bnode explanation. http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/37 After a bit of back and forth between Ivan and Mark, it became clear that Ivan would be happy with something to this effect being added to the RDFa Core document: [[[ Beyond keeping track of the differences, the processor may choose any internal representation of, for example, _:a and _:b. These representations are not required to be identical on two different runs of the processor on the same RDFa source. Processors are also not required to keep the original names when granting access to the RDF graph. The only requirement is that <em>different</em> blank nodes in the original source should be mapped onto <em>different</em> blank nodes, and <em>identical</em> blank nodes should be mapped on <em>identical</em> blank nodes when answering an API request or when serializing the graph. ]]] Discussion with Mark revealed that he would be fine with this addition as well. The core of Ivan's concern was that we don't highlight the possible issues with using bnodes in the specification text. The paragraph above attempts to highlight the issues. This proposal asserts that the paragraph above, or one roughly equivalent to it, be inserted into the RDFa Core specification around section 8.1.1.4. This change addresses the issue and the issue should be closed. Please comment before Thursday, October 21st at 13:00 UTC if you object to this proposal. If there are no objections by that time, this issue will be closed. If there are objections, the RDFa Working Group will perform a straw-poll and decide whether or not to close the issue before entering Last Call. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Saving Journalism - The PaySwarm Developer API http://digitalbazaar.com/2010/09/12/payswarm-api/
