This message closes ACTION: 2001-10-19#8 DaveB. Email URLs of issues to be discussed/resolved Starting from the list of issues related to syntax in RDF/XML Syntax Editors WD http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/ CVS version 1.95 in section RDF Core WG Issues affecting RDF/XML Syntax (Non-Normative): http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Updated-Grammar-changes I've made an attempt to split the issues up (I haven't modified the document above as such since it is being reviewed at present). 1. Editorial Issues that will be addressed in new syntax working drafts => I propose these issues will be directly addressed by the new Syntax working drafts and should be DONE when this document is complete. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-syntax-desc-clarity The language describing the syntax is unclear [in section 6] Action: WG developing new approach. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-formal-grammar Action: WG developing new approach. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#mime-types-for-rdf-docs Action: Internet Media Type registration should be pursued when WD is more mature and this document will define the syntax for that type [aside: application/rdf+xml probably] http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-validating-embedded-rdf Action: Has been generally agreed some validating XML schemas will be provided / pointed to in future WDs. 2. Issues out of scope of charter - will not be addressed in current RDF/XML syntax. => I propose all issues here should be CLOSED http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-quoting The syntax needs a more convenient way to express the reification of a statement. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qnames-cant-represent-all-uris The RDF XML syntax cannot represent all possible Property URI's. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-replace-value Suggestion that the rdf:value property be replaced by rdf:toString http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qname-uri-mapping The mapping of QNames to URI's generates incorrect URI's. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-qnames-as-attrib-values Suggestion that Qnames should be allowed as values for attributes such as rdf:about. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-syntax-incomplete The RDF/XML syntax can't represent an an arbritary graph structure. 3. Issues still under discussion, not decided We have strawman proposals for some of these. http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-propElt-id-with-dr Clarify the interpretation of an ID attribute in the propertyElt production within a Description element with a distributive referrant Proposal http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdfms-propElt-id-with-dr http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-xml-literal-namespaces How should a parser process namespaces in a literal which is XML markup? http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-xml-base How does xml-base affect RDF? http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-abouteach Processing rdf:aboutEach requires a processing of sub-property relations. Proposal http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdfms-abouteach http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-not-id-and-resource-attr The propertyElt production 6.12 of the grammar does not allow both an ID attribute and a resource attribute to be specified. Proposal http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdfms-not-id-and-resource-attr http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about What is the difference between using and ID attribute to 'create' a new resource and an about attribute to refer to it? Proposal http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about 4. Issues not yet discussed We have strawman proposals for these http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-nested-bagIDs What triples are generated for nested description elements with bagIDs? Proposal http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdfms-nested-bagIDs http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-reification-required MUST a parser created bags of reified statements for all Description elements? Proposal http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdfms-reification-required http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-rdf-names-use Illegal or unusual use of names from the RDF namespace Proposal http://ilrt.org/discovery/2001/07/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdfms-rdf-names-use
