Hi, some facts from RDF Core: - anonymous resources are part of the RDF Model (they are part of the MT and of N-Triples) - anonymous resources are 'secure' in the sense that they are not identified with other resources while merging RDF graps (see MT) However, not all valid RDF graphs (accoring to MT or N-Triples) can be represented in XML (see Sandro's last mail [1] or [2]). Two possibilities: 1. do nothing ;-) 2. enforce equivalence between MT,N-Triples and XML Serialization. One possibility to achieve 2. is to extend the grammar with an attribute rdf:IID (InternalID) that must be interpreted by a parser as an anonymous resource. (That means, this ID is by definition *not* stable and the parser may (and will) calculate a new internal ID of it). RDF serializations according to the current spec would still be valid, but current parsers would have to be modified. Another possibility to achieve 2. is to revise the MT and N-Triples specs and to define: A valid RDF graph is an RDF Graph (according to MT) with an existing XML serilization. (However, this is just a definition, it won't help in real live).
