RE: URI in a URI

Hi Steve,

Thanks, I see how it works for n-ary relations in RDF. 

However, what I want to achieve is naming of a simple service. And from the name of the service, I should understand what the service is about without the need of fetching an RDF file. 

Regards,

Vincent

You can describe it using a bnode, or UUID URI, or some such, for example, in Turtle:

[
	:service <http://example.com/sensors/sensor1/services> ;
	:reading <http://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov/2.1/propTemperature> ;
	rdf:value 12.0 ;
] .

This is a common way to express n-ary relations in RDF.
