Gee, that looks familiar. 1/2 ;-) i.e. yes, I support this guideline. > The notation should be explained in the primer which should include a list > of standard prefixes.

As input to the RDF primer, I'll note that lots of people have learned N3 syntax from the N3 primer alone, without further assistance. You may find some text there that you can use... the section that covers the qname shorthand for URIs is http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/Primer#Sharing I tried to find a particular paragraph or two that you could steal, but the explanation of the qname shorthand is kinda context-sensitive. > > Brian -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ office: tel:+1-913-491-0501
