I just felt that it's more readable, and that for HTML generation, this will not make any visual difference. But for generating Java Swing dialogs, it will indeed add an extra space. So I'll remove these extra spaces. Another interesting question is that FOAF never flags the documentation triples with @en , whereas many other vocabularies like SIOC, DOAP , do . > Of course the French will be superior to the source English for your purposes, since "nom de famille” is actually a sensible label, whereas “familyName” is clearly not :-) > > So I think I may offer to translate some of them from English into English! > My github username is HughGlaser Indeed, why not, temporarily, some english files in the project, before it's integrated in the official release of respective vocabularies. I added you too the GitHub project. -- Jean-Marc Vanel Déductions SARL - Consulting, services, training, Rule-based programming, Semantic Web http://deductions-software.com/ +33 (0)6 89 16 29 52 Twitter: @jmvanel , @jmvanel_fr ; chat: irc://irc.freenode.net#eulergui
