Hello,

About

I was recently pointed at the possibility to use IRIs [1] for 
identifying resources. I'm almost a complete newcomer to this. Is it 
allowed in RDF? should we mention IRIs in our documents?
(it seems that there is a mapping between IRIs and URIs, and latest 
versions of W3C standard mention IRIs, e.g. SPARQL [2], RDFa [3] and 
Cool URIs)

Ss said I'm a complete rookie, maybe this issue has a trivial answer...

Cheers,

Antoine
