I usually avoid being the N-Triples police for the sake of not interrupting the flow of the conversation. However since invited, to answer :) >>>Pat Hayes said: > Help. > > I notice that Patrick is using a 'mathematical' convention to > indicate triples in his datatyping draft, like this: > > <ex:Jenny, ex:age, "10" > Yes.

Actually this is N-Triples but the ex: things are not namespace prefixes but URI schemes. The N-Triples is generally more verbose: <http://example.org/Jenny> <http://example.org/age> "10" . > Jos writes them using an N3 variant: > > ex:jenny ex:age "10" . That is legal N3, with the namespace prefix ex: defined as http://example.org/ earlier. > Maybe we should agree on a common publication format? If so, which is > it?

The MT must use legal N-Triples (not N3) since those are what the Syntax document generates from the XML. So, tedious and verbose as it is, <http://example.org/Jenny> <http://example.org/age> "10" . is the one to use. I guess I should put an N-Triples validator online Cheers Dave
