From the last call Concepts working draft: Two RDF URI references are equal if and only if they compare as equal, character by character, as Unicode strings. -- http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/#section-Graph-URIref An upper-case 'A' and a lower-case 'a' are different Unicode characters. > Without using the RDF/XML representation of RDF N-Triples how can the > namespaces declaration be made?

I don't think that there is a standard vocabulary for describing bindings of namespace URIs to namespace prefixes. But of course, you can make up your own: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> my:namespacePrefix "owl". or in RDF/XML: <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="..." xmlns:my="..."> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#"> <my:namespacePrefix>owl</my:namespacePrefix> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF> Does this help? - Benja
