First, note that "RDF URI Reference" is a term on its own and is not equivalent to "URI Reference". As for "URI" versus "URI Reference", RFC 3986 was published in 2005, while the RDF specfication is from 2004 and references RFC 2396 where the terminology is somewhere be- tween different and unclear in this regard. RFC 3986 discusses some of the differences. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
