In a nutshell: there is no way as far as I can tell to represent _:a1 <http://random.ioctl.org/#p1> _:a2 . _:a2 <http://random.ioctl.org/#p2> _:a1 . in the current RDF serialisation. In other words, while we might* have the notion that an anonymous resource has an identity wrt (the RDF graph it is a part of), there is no way to reflect that identity except in the most trivial acyclic cases. And not all of those, either: an acyclic example that we can't represent is <http://random.ioctl.org/#feh> <http://random.ioctl.org/#p1> _:a1 . <http://random.ioctl.org/#yip> <http://random.ioctl.org/#p1> _:a1 . [Initially I had thought that that was what rdf:id was for; it turns out that it isn't] jan * tacitly and informally, for the moment: I've got some ideas about formalising this (YAMT) which I won't, unfortunately, have ready by Friday -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk The Java disclaimer: values of 'anywhere' may vary between regions.
