>>>David Megginson said: > On the contrary, I believe that RDF should treat URIs as opaque > strings. I agree with that and indeed this works fine in RDF systems I have used. In Redland[1] I have a URI class that allows you to create URIs from parts (relative to base URI for URIs that follow the hierarchy style) but has no methods to sub-divide them. There might be a few methods required on an URI in an RDF system to get the fragment (#foo) since I think that's outside the opaque part or maybe the URI scheme (http: etc) but I've never needed them yet. I feel it might be needed for serialisation of the RDF graph to RDF/XML, but I haven't implemented that yet. Dave [1] http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/
